We still hold the European record for the number of mortgages taken out, even though mortgage rates are no longer at record lows, but rather rising steadily. This year, 2018, interest rates are likely to exceed 3%, and who knows what the final rate will be. Some experts are even talking about 6%.
Wages, currency, and GDP are all rising.Its rapid growth will be replaced by an unpleasant slowdown, and it is clear that the mortgage bubble will burst. The high number of mortgages has driven up real estate prices ,while there is little interest in rental housing.

Real estate is the best investment
and the best way to get a good return on your investment is to invest in real estate.
What has also greatly stirred interest in real estate is the inability to value one\’s money in any other way. Real estate is always the best investment to make today. After all, we are constantly reminded that one day we will not even receive a pension, so buying an apartment, house, or land may provide long-term security.
