Housing models
Which niches will drive development?
- Low-income, middle-income, high-end, luxury; single-family homes, low-rise, mid-rise, high rise. Which housing models will drive development during these uncertain times?
- Contracting, capitalization, pre-sales, etc. – what are you doing differently in your businesses to safeguard returns and margins?
- What are you observing on the demand side (buyers)? Lower disposable income (due to inflation) and pressure on mortgage interest rates (due to central banks policies) will affect absorption / pricing and make it difficult to transfer cost increases to the customer?
- Regulation – what changes should / can governments implement? Have you seen any changes in regulations in your region that could be implemented in other countries?
