Now that the European Bank officially announced that the interest rates will remain very low, close to 0%, and that the bond-buying programme will end, we have a better picture for 2020 real estate development. Surprisingly or not, this announcement has no major direct impact in the real estate business. Professionals think that even though the rates will remain pretty much the same, for the time being, the rental price and inflation will increase. On the other hand, a geopolitical change can quickly increase the rates and this is why interviewees expect short and long term interest rates to increase a bit. When it comes to the end of the bonds-buying programme we have to be careful that in markets like Spain or Portugal, this might be risky. Since 2008, they have not gone to the capital markets to fund themselves. If they are now going back to capital markets and cannot sell bonds at interest rates of less than 5 or 6%, they cannot fund themselves.

Should you worry about low inflation when buying property abroad? Some investors ask about the lack of inflation and whether it still matters. Based on the understanding that we have always sold real estate on the following argument: because of inflation, your investment will always be protected — it’s a hedge protection. Today, however, we don’t have inflation or, if we do, it’s a mere few percent. When investors ask if it stills matters, the answer is yes. Inflation in the Euro area is currently at 1.3% as of June 2019, and is not expected to soar substantially in the coming years. If, for one reason or another, inflation were to recover further, real estate investors could benefit because, besides a potential rise in the value of their investments, rental contracts are generally indexed and reviewed upwards on a regular basis, as in the UK. A continuous, long-lasting lack of inflation would be bad news for a property investor. But in case of deflation, we also see a decrease of asset values, and that is no good news either. Inflation still matters, and we hope to have a return of a healthy inflation of 2% in the coming years – though, as ECB president Mario Draghi said, we must be patient.

Now let’s discuss about some real estate tricks for sellers: Book a photographer! A photographer can provide you with a great selection of high-quality photos; just make sure the one you pick shares your vision. The devil is in the details, so make sure all lights and televisions are on, and all wires are hidden. People are much more likely to buy a house when it looks absolutely perfect. Use the MLS wisely: MLSs are invaluable to the selling process. People often search for specific criteria (e.g. parking), so be honest and extremely thorough because people will call you out on misrepresentations. Take time to upload beautiful photos, and keep in mind that listings with over six pictures are viewed twice as often as those with less. Also be sure to respond instantly whenever you can.
