Now what will happen to the real estate market in Milan after the lock-down from Covid19, there are those who expect everything to continue as before and who predict that there will be a catastrophe ... who is right? Wait because the prices will go up or sell the house immediately to avoid the worst?
To understand what will happen to house prices in Milan we start by observing the world economic scenario because without this vision we would not make an assessment based on objective data but only bar talk. Let's see what is happening to the main indicators of the health of the global economy.
Oil: The price of crude oil from the beginning of 2020 to today has fallen and has made a -33% (I know that you go to fill up and do not pay it with the 33% discount but that's another story ).
Copper: this raw material is a very important indicator because if the orders of the companies are decreasing they buy less and the values fall obviously the opposite is also true. As the copper price changes, it is clear whether the orders of the companies increase or decrease. If demand for copper increases, the economy is doing well.
Oro: It is the safe haven par excellence. When the economy goes badly, gold prices rise.
Stock Exchange: the stock market in January had collapsed in July is stable. This indicator tells us that if the stock market goes up there is a risk appetite for the gold contractor that when prices go up there is fear.
To date, however, these 4 indicators (Oil, Copper, Gold and Stock Exchange) give contradictory signals ... the price of copper rises (trust) and the price of gold rises (fear) ... Low oil price (firm goods) e Stable stock market (indecision). Why is this happening?
Because there is a parallel variable called COVID19 which acts on expectations independently of these 4 indicators.
Now what will happen to the economy of the most industrialized countries? The IMF and OCED institutions expect a drop of between -5% and -7% of the world economy. In Italy they predict a drop of -12.8% (a disaster) but we are not the only ones in very bad shape. France and Great Britain keep us company with a drop in GDP as much as our own ... China with -3%.
But let's go back to Italy, as we well know, mortgage rates are at historic lows, therefore close to + 0.5% interest on a fixed rate mortgage. The money is practically "giving it away" ... Why?
Because in Italy there is no inflation, that is, prices do not grow, rather worse we are in deflation, therefore the prices of consumer goods fall!
Do you know what happens when prices drop? Families continue to postpone the purchase, always waiting for them to go down again ... postpone the purchase of the car, the house and so on. Families wait, wait and still wait to shop, which is why economic crises in Italy last 7 years and not 2 as in other states.
Do you know what the strategies of companies will be to balance the drop in turnover?
To cope with the loss of income, small businesses have only one strategy: lay off people. Large companies in the tertiary sector (in Milan are the majority), thanks to smart working they will reduce office occupancy by 40%.
So fewer people arriving in Milan, less money cashing in bars, restaurants and shops ... fewer people renting houses because if they can work from home 3 days out of 5 they can also do it 200km back and forth.
I turned to elite real estate srl a few years ago and I met Cristina Gambotto and Marco Cassanelli who impressed me for their preparation and punctuality really out of the ordinary. Since then, there has been a professional collaboration that continues and always confirms their extraordinary skills in real estate. Compliments.
