High inflation has led to an unusual result in the Hungarian property market

High inflation is also affecting the Hungarian property market. As a result, the market has slowed down as real estate is no longer such a good investment.

Cross-national trends in Hungary

With inflation falling, government bond yields have also risen, so property in Hungary is no longer such a good investment. For this reason, many people are holding off on buying a home.

“The real estate market has slowed down and is less attractive compared to inflation and even to the interest rates available on the residential government bond market,” writes Novekedes.hu. The portal reports that there will be a serious downturn in the coming year due to inflation, high home loan interest rates and the threat of recession.

Prices are also falling in Great Britain and Germany, the biggest property markets. Again, the reasons include high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates.

“All the existing negative phenomena (less borrowing, stagnating prices, lower number of transactions) have already surfaced, but market players still think there is reason for optimism,” the portal writes.
