Phoenix Spree Deutschland Ltd - Berlin, Germany-based residential real estate investor - Says portfolio valuation at June 30 was EUR714.3 million compared to EUR812.4 million the year before, a fall of 12%. Explains buyer sentiment and transaction volumes within the Berlin residential market continued to be affected by high inflation and interest rates which negatively impacted the valuation of the portfolio. The valuation represents an average value per square metre of EUR3,808 down from EUR4,318 before. Reports the rental market remains strong. Supply-demand imbalances within the Berlin market have widened as further net inward migration and higher homeownership costs continue to increase demand.
