Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):Good Morning from Germany, where the housing market is coming under pressure from higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty. Europace’s house price index fell 0.35% in Sep: existing houses dropped 0.69%, apartments 0.66%. Yet new-build prices hit another record. W/mortgage rates back >4%, cheaper properties don’t necessarily mean more affordable homes.
