For that matter, after a 2017 in which investment kept the intensity of the previous years, in 2018 it is anticipated that the volume of investment will be at levels similar to those of last year. At least this is the result of the Real Estate Outlook of 2018, prepared by CBRE, and presented within the framework of Real Estate Trends, an annual event that gathers the main leaders of the sector.
"In an environment of high liquidity and low financing costs, the biggest challenge for investors, increasingly specialized, will be finding the product that fits with their investment strategy. Thus, in 2018 we predict that there will continue to be a lot of appetite and activity by all the investor profiles, from the most core to the opportunist", said Adolfo Ramírez-Escudero, president of CBRE Spain."Also, the Socimis that played an important role of the buyer side in recent years, will be, in 2018, rotating assets or divesting those that are not strategic," he added.
Likewise, it is corroborated by the Real Estate Trends Barometer prepared annually by CBRE, with surveys of more than 160 expert managers of the sector in our country. The real estate faces 2018 with optimism, regarding to the forecast of income, demand and profitability. One out of three experts believes that prime returns in Spain in 2018 will remain stable, and another third ensures that they will register slight increases. On the other hand, the general opinion according to the survey is that rental income will increase moderately in all sectors, and with a little more force in the residential sector.
