Ongoing market monitoring

BF.quarterly barometer Q2/2024

The slight upward trend of the BF.quarterly barometer continues in Q2/2024. The barometer reached a value of -15.30.

However, the ongoing difficult transaction environment and insolvencies in the property sector are dampening the experts' optimism.

The fact that an increasing proportion of panellists have recently reported decreasing liquidity costs has had a positive effect. Financing conditions are more frequently described as at least stagnating and not even more restrictive.

In Q1/2015, the barometer value was at its highest level to date of 8.11 points; in Q3/2023, the lowest level of -20.22 was reached.

Background to the survey

The uncertainties on the financial markets and regulatory changes have led to a significant change in lending policy for commercial property financing in recent years. As a result, the topic of lending has also become much more important in the property industry, the media and politics. The topic will remain important, especially in light of the ongoing volatility on the financing market.

In order to create the necessary transparency and an optimal professional platform, the BF.quarterly barometer determines the current mood on the market for commercial property financing through the assessments and opinions of experts from the lender side for bulwiengesa's financing specialist BF.direkt. The BF.quarterly barometer is a methodological continuation of the FAP barometer launched in 2012.

Based on the two input variables - financing basics on the one hand and market expertise on the other - the BF.quarterly barometer provides answers on a quarterly basis:


"What is the current state of commercial property lenders' lending practices?"

In contrast to other sources, the opinion of selected experts on the lending side is taken into account to a greater extent in order to depict the specific climate in lending policy.
