When total return of investment properties in 2013 is published 25th February at the annual Index Conference, three out of four participants in the Danish Property Federation Consensus Forecast are confident that it will be an increased total return compared to 2012 and 2011. In 2013 a total return of 5.0 percent compared to 4.8 percent in 2012 is expected. For the last five years, the highest total return has been 5.3 percent (in 2010). A smaller group of 30 percent of the participants expects that this will exceed in 2013. Compared to last quarter the expectations for 2013, 2014, and 2015 are unchanged, while there is a decrease of 0.1 percentage points for the expectations for 2013-2017.

For both capital value and market rent, it is the best indicator value ever for industry. The consensus forecast has existed since the beginning of 2011. The indicator values are still negative, which means expectations of decrease in capital value and market rent, but if the positive trend continues in 2014, it will mean positive indicator values for industry. The annual change in capital value for industry is 14.8 indicator points, giving industry minus 10.8 indicator points this quarter.

The participants have answered: ‘very low’, ‘lower’, ‘unchanged’, ‘higher’, ‘much higher’. The answers are given a value in order to obtain an indicator between -100 and 100. An indicator of 100 is identical to everyone having answered ‘much higher’, and -100 is identical to everyone having answered ‘very low’. An indicator of 0 indicates unchanged expectations. For example, an indicator of 28.4 is feasible by 28.4 percent of the participants answering ‘much higher’ and the remaining answers are ‘unchanged’.
