The real estate market in the European Union is one of the most mature and developed in the world.
The market is characterized by a high level of fragmentation, with a large number of small and medium-sized players.
In terms of asset value, the market is dominated by the residential sector, which accounts for around two-thirds of all assets. The market for commercial real estate is also relatively well developed, although it is somewhat less mature than the residential market.
