Your secured High performing investment in Luxembourg
1. High Retun, low risk
When evaluating investment opportunities, the risk/return profile is a fundamental factor to assess. It provides a framework for understanding the potential reward relative to the level of uncertainty or volatility associated with a given asset. In this context, real estate offers an attractive balance: it tends to deliver good, stable returns while generally exhibiting low volatility. This combination makes it particularly appealing to investors seeking long-term capital preservation, income generation, and diversification within a broader portfolio.
"Risk and return are two sides of the same coin."
— Peter L. Bernstein, Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, 1996
"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."
Warren Buffett, speech at University of Nebraska, 1994

2. Capital Value Increase
Why Luxembourg residential prices are expected to rise again over the next five years
A Market in Temporary Contraction
The Luxembourg housing market is currently experiencing one of its sharpest slowdowns in recent decades. Offplan apartment sales collapsed by around 75% in 2023–2024 compared to pre-crisis volumes, as higher interest rates, inflation, and reduced household purchasing power forced many buyers to delay decisions. Developers have responded by postponing or cancelling projects, further limiting the pipeline of future housing supply.
Economic and Demographic Growth Remain Solid
Luxembourg’s fundamentals remain strong: GDP growth is forecast at +2.5% in 2025 and +2.6% in 2026, unemployment is low, and the country continues to attract international talet. Population growth — driven largely by immigration — has averaged over 2% per year. These trends mean that underlying housing demand will return quickly once affordability conditions improve.
Supply Shortage Will Deepen
Statec, Eurostat
While demand has temporarily cooled, Luxembourg’s structural housing shortage has not gone away. The country still needs between 5,600 and 7,500 new units per year, yet current production is closer to 4,000 — and likely to drop further given today’s slowdown in building permits. This means that once economic and financing conditions improve, the imbalance between supply and demand will be even more acute, creating strong upward pressure on prices.
Limited construction today induces higher prices tomorrow
The sharp fall in off-plan sales today will translate into fewer housing completions in 2–3 years, just as demand begins to rebound. With a smaller pool of new units coming to market, competition among buyers is likely to intensify, driving prices higher.
Additional Price Drivers
▪ Energy efficiency regulations: Newer, greener buildings will command a premium, and older stock will require costly upgrades pushing buyers towards high-quality new builds.
▪ Tax incentives: Reduced VAT on new homes, capital gains exemptions, and favourable conditions for buy-to-let investors will continue to attract capital.
▪ Safe-haven appeal: Luxembourg remains politically and economically stable, making it a preferred market for both local and international investors.
1. Timing is everything
Positioning ahead of the next growth cycle
Today’s environment offers discerning investors the chance to enter at more attractive conditions, before prices regain upward momentum. Signs of market stabilisation are already visible, with transaction volumes improving and interest rates expected to ease over the medium term. In a market as supplyconstrained and resilient as Luxembourg’s, investing now means securing quality assets at a favourable point in the cycle—well-positioned to benefit from both capital appreciation and robust rental demand in the years ahead.
Change in the number of sales of houses and apartments
“Renewed momentum on the Luxembourg property market?
The real estate market in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been through a turbulent period since 2022. Under the effect of economic uncertainties, rising interest rates, slowing construction projects and price adjustments, the usual points of reference have been disrupted. However signs of a rebalancing following the storm are emerging.”

The
first semester of 2025 confirms a promising trend: buyers are returning
The number of prospects on properties for sale increased by 50% compared to early 2024, and by 150% compared to 2023 (Spuerkeess, Immotop). This renewed interest, supported by price stabilisation, is a key indicator of the market’s recovery. It reflects consumers’ desire to reposition themselves and explore their options again. This is the first important step towards rebalancing the market.
A Market Emerging from its Shortest Downturn in Decades
Since 2007, the Luxembourg real estate market has moved through the classic stages of its cycle—recovery, growth, and maturity—each phase typically unfolding over several years. This steady rhythm was disrupted when the market underwent an unusually rapid shift into the final stages of the cycle.

. The slowdown and decline phases, which historicaly can stretch over several years, were remarkably short in Luxembourg—lasting just one year each.

This rare compression is largely explained by the sudden and steep rise in interest rates, an external shock that temporarily stalled activity.
The market reached its low point in 2023. The year 2024 has brought the start of a rebalancing phase: transaction prices have eased, making residential property more accessible to buyers.
This price adjustment, combined with renewed confidence, has sparked a sharp rise in sales volumes of existing properties, confirming that the market is regaining momentum and entering a new cycle of opportunity.
