Key research findings

European multihousing investment of €12.7 billion in Q4 reflected a 55% climb on the same period last year. The largest Q4 since 2021 pushed full year multihousing volumes to €38.8 billion, up 35% year-on-year. The uptick was most notable in Sweden, where 2024 investment more than doubled compared to last year. Germany was the largest market, accounting for 26% of 2024 multihousing investment.

The average European prime multifamily yield has remained stable for five consecutive quarters. This has given sellers confidence to bring larger portfolios to the market. Deals over €100 million accounted for 56% of Q4 multihousing investment, the largest share since Q1 2022. Forward investment gained pace in 2024 (+52% YoY) as investors pursued a range of purpose-built rental stock and construction cost growth slowed (+2.1% vs 3.9% 2023).

Annual rental growth is now normalising, reaching 5% for new lets at the end of last year (vs 9% in 2023, 3% 2017-22). Growth was strongest in the Spanish, regional German and Dutch markets, despite rental regulations in place. Further rental growth and anticipated yield compression in 2025 will support a rebound in capital values in all markets.
