The Aengevelt Residential Investment Index (AWI) has been published by Aengevelt Research since 2008 as a scientifically sound guide for the residential investment market. This instrument serves to continuously analyse and evaluate the framework conditions influencing the housing market, particularly the new build sector.
Since its introduction, the continuous evaluation of the AWI has underscored the complexity and the multifaceted factors that shape the dynamics of new housing construction. The survey aims to provide both investors and market observers with a precise basis for strategic decisions.
Background of the AWI
The initiative to create the AWI arose from the necessity to establish a reliable and objective data basis for the German residential investment market. Since 2008, relevant key figures and trends have been systematically recorded to make long-term developments in the new build sector transparent. This continuous documentation makes it possible to objectively assess structural deficits and their persistence.
The results of the AWI serve to realistically evaluate expectations for a turnaround in new housing construction. The data collection and analysis by Aengevelt Research aim to identify specific challenges in the construction sector and to detail their impact on the entire housing market.
Current Market Situation
The continuous evaluations of the AWI indicate that the expectation of a substantial turnaround in new housing construction continues to be elusive. Despite various market impulses, the structural hurdles preventing a significant acceleration of new builds persist. The data provided by the AWI allows for a well-founded assessment of the current market situation and forecasts for the coming years.
- —Continuous scientific analysis since 2008.
- —Evaluation of relevant indicators for the residential investment market.
- —Highlighting persistent challenges in the new build sector.
The detailed evaluation of the collected data confirms the need for precise market analysis to avoid misinvestments and to adequately utilise development potential in the housing market. Aengevelt Research's work with the AWI thus makes an important contribution to the transparency and professionalisation of the residential investment market.
