Global Property Markets Stall Amid Interest Rate and Inflation Pressures
What happened
The global residential property market has largely stalled, with prices increasing by an average of only 0.5% in real terms across 23 analyzed cities over the past year. In Germany, Frankfurt and Munich recorded inflation-adjusted drops of nearly 4%. London saw a 1% year-on-year decline, while Canada's Vancouver and Toronto recorded 10% real-term declines.

Why it matters
The widespread stagnation is attributed to factors such as stretched affordability and rising interest rates. While some markets, like Seoul, are experiencing growth, the overall trend suggests significant pressure on global real estate investment.
