ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The risk of a new inflationary pressure linked to the increase in energy prices could have direct effects on the real estate market, affecting interest rates and the demand for loans, already weakened by the decrease in the purchasing power of households. This is what emerges from a dossier edited by Annastella Palasciano, published by idealista/news, information head of Idealista, which analyses the possible economic and real estate effects of geopolitical tensions related to the conflict in the Middle East.
According to the analysis, the impennata of oil and gas prices risks reporting inflation above expected levels and forcing central banks to review monetary policies, with possible effects on the cost of credit and the ability of households to access financing for the purchase of the house. A context that could result in a slowdown in real estate demand and in a more prudent attitude by potential buyers.
The dossier also highlights how the recovery of raw materials and energy can have a significant impact on the construction industry. The increase in the costs of the materials is likely to curb new realizations and interventions, directing the demand towards properties already ready or in good state and increasing at the same time the discounts on the buildings that need requalification.
On the investment front, however, the scenario also presents possible opportunities for the Italian market. In a phase of international instability, investors tend to favour perceived markets as safer and more stable. This phenomenon could result in a greater interest in European real estate and, in particular, towards Italy, especially in the segment of valuable properties.
The analysis also emphasizes that some alternative markets traditionally attractive to international capital, such as Dubai, are showing signs of slowdown and growth in construction costs, contributing to redesign global investor strategies and shifting attention to new real estate destinations.
Overall, the dossier concludes, the evolution of the real estate market will depend largely on the duration of the conflict and the trend of energy prices, decisive variables for economic stability and trust of families and enterprises.
