Real Estate in Luxembourg: Towards Price Stabilization in 2024?

Real Estate in Luxembourg: Towards Price Stabilization in 2024?

After a period of freefall in real estate prices in Luxembourg due to the market downturn, a glimmer of hope seems to be appearing on the horizon. The first quarter of 2024 recorded an increase in the number of transactions, a sign that buyers are gradually regaining confidence in the market. But what are the prospects for those who aspire to finally become homeowners?

First of all, supply remains relatively abundant, thereby offering a wide range of choices for potential buyers. Furthermore, prices have experienced a significant drop, varying between 20% and 30% depending on the municipalities, which makes real estate accessible once again for many buyers. Although mortgage rates are still far from their pre-crisis levels, a downward trend is beginning to emerge, particularly for fixed rates. Moreover, even if you take out a mortgage at a relatively high rate, it is possible to renegotiate it in a few years through mortgage refinancing.

Real estate remains a major issue in the Grand Duchy, and ensuring the construction of new housing in order to rapidly increase supply could prove to be a challenge. Nevertheless, the measures implemented by the government to stimulate the market should mitigate the effects of the crisis and revive it in the short term. An increase in demand is therefore to be expected in the coming months, which should help stabilize prices by the end of the year. For tenants planning to stay in Luxembourg long-term, it is time to develop a strategy to finally achieve homeownership.

Real estate prices are expected to stabilize throughout the year, and the time is right to search for your future home. When rates drop below 3% (currently, the fixed rate is at 3.5%), prices will start to rise again due to a lack of supply. After hitting rock bottom, real estate prices should experience a recovery, which is a logical consequence of emerging from the crisis, thereby stimulating economic growth.

When the construction sector is down, everything is down! But when the real estate market takes off again, it can be a positive sign for all other economic activities. Let us therefore follow this path toward a prosperous future, in our very own home!
