Ongoing market monitoring

BF.quarterly barometer Q3/2024

The recovery of the BF.quarterly barometer continues in Q3/2024. The barometer reached a value of -13.79.

Transaction activity remains subdued and the crisis is particularly noticeable among project developers. A certain degree of caution remains in the financing environment.

The recovery in new business and the continued positive development of liquidity costs are among the drivers of the barometer result. However, financing conditions are generally seen as 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 financiers' 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.
