Investment funds are increasingly focusing on acquiring residential properties in major cities, particularly through REITs, which offer tax advantages. Germany is considering nationalizing over 150,000 apartments in Berlin, raising concerns about investor confidence. Chancellor Friedrich Merz warns that such measures could undermine trust in the economy, especially as Germany seeks to attract foreign investments.

This uncertainty has already impacted real estate companies, including Vonovia, which has seen its stock prices drop.
