Residential real estate in Europe: Evolution and outlook 2021

Residential real estate - Becoming the largest sector in Europe

Residential is one of those segments easily associated with real estate by the general public.

However, in the listed industry, many property companies operate a business model that is far beyond the standard home-rental structure.

Despite the fact that residential landlords have long been considered part of the traditional real estate industry in North America and some parts of Asia, in Europe this sector was represented by very few companies for several years.

In the last decade, new players have appeared and the existing ones have expanded, bringing a lot of attention and investment capital into the residential scope and creating new sub-sectors that now offer significant diversity in terms of geographies, activities, fundamental drivers and social impact.
