The 'Let’s Bring Rock Back Into Real Estate‘ was more than just a cute catch phrase.
Every real real estate expert knows damn well that DCF spreadsheets and other financial acrobatics are rather pseudo academic brain damage than rocket science.
Connecting the dots by filling a room with a visionary developer, an investor, an architect, a builder and a banker with balls of steal remains the only way to start a creative process.
Like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, each of them is a great musician but only the band makes them greater than the sum of the parts.
Expo Real was again a conglomerate of brilliant experts in their fields but it’s the producers who bring together the best of them for a jam session.

🔥 Deal Room Rumours: Is Germany hot or not? 🔥
➡️ London & NYC: Investors are watching the fatherland closely but still hold their powder dry.
Reason:
🏦 Banks Extend & Pretend: German landlords are using tactical bank refinancing patience to avoid immediate, painful writedowns for both parties.
Background:
📉 The DE/UK Valuation Divide: UK devaluations are largely priced in (thanks to RICS Red Book). In Germany, HypZert allows for slower, less market-driven adjustments, meaning price corrections lag.
But:
📈 Increasing Fund Pressure: Outflows from open-ended funds (€8.7bn since mid-2023, €1bn in March 2025 alone) will soon increase sales- (and consequently valuation) pressure.
🚀 FOMO Factor: Once the first Private Equity giant steps on the gas, market liquidity will quickly return due to fear of missing out.
