Sellers
The majority of sellers were domestic players.
On the seller side institutional investors accounted for 55% of all transactions in 2020 as we saw some of them optimizing their portfolio and selling less desirable assets. In line with the previous year, the number of new investment products being put onto the market by developers were relatively low; therefore, developers accounted only for 20% of our transactions.
Seller type
In line with the trends of the previous years, the share of corporate occupiers continued to drop and was at a mere 5%.
Just as on the purchaser side, the majority of the sellers were domestic players, who in 2020 took a record high share of 75% of all of our transactions. The market share of domestic players on the seller side seems to be quite stable over the last four years. The share of non-EU based sellers continued to decline and stood at 5%, which is the lowest figure in the last five years.
