Source: The Danish Property Federation Market Statistics. The participants have answered: ‘very low’, ‘lower’, ‘unchanged’, ‘higher’, ‘much higher’. The answers give 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 34.4 is feasible by 34.4 percent of the participants answering ‘much higher’ and the remaining answers are ‘unchanged’.

THE DANISH PROPERTY FEDERATION MARKET STATISTICS – CONSENSUS FORECAST COVERING THE PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT PROPERTY MARKET IN DENMARK
High expectations for industry Compared to last quarter, there is an increase in expectations for industry. Expectations for capital value growth, vacancy and market rents have not been seen higher in 25 quarters when we started this survey. It is a noticeable change that now brings the Industry sector in line with the three other sectors. In common for all four sectors compared to last quarter are the expectations for increased capital value growth, while the results for vacancy remain both positive and negative and market rental value growth is predominantly negative compared to last quarter. The indicator value of 34.4 for capital value for offices has never been higher. Almost 70 percent of the participants expect increasing capital values for offices.
January 2017
by 7.5 percent in Stockholm for 2016. The growth in market rents in Stockholm is due to expected growth in employment and a limited supply of modern offices. In Oslo there is an opposite tendency with negative market rental value growth of 2.0 percent for offices, while in Helsinki market rental value growth for offices is 0.1 percent in 2016. In the forecast from IPF, there is an expected market rental value growth for offices in 2016 of 1.3 percent in Copenhagen, while the market rental value growth is expected to be 1.9 percent in 2018.
Capital value expected to increase the most in larger cities Regional indicator Low regional growth
Odense and Aalborg are moving forward
Medium regional growth
Expectations for capital value growth have never been higher both for Odense and Aalborg since 2014, when they were first included in the Consensus Forecast. Expectations for capital value growth remain the highest in Copenhagen and Aarhus, but Aalborg is now in third place. Odense has almost caught up with the Triangle Area, while there are still low expectations to the rest of the country. The result seems to indicate that the participants now expect that the investment activity will increase in Odense and Aalborg.

High regional growth
Source: The Danish Property Federation Market Statistics The map shows which regions in Denmark that have the highest capital growth compared to other regions. We have asked about the Triangle Region in Jutland (Fredericia, Kolding, and Vejle), Copenhagen, Odense, Aalborg, Aarhus, and all other regions as the rest of the country. From the replies, we have created an indicator. If the area is the lightest colour, at least 70 percent of the participants have agreed that this region is doing best compared to other regions.
