Core real estate an attractive alternative in times of uncertainty

In a world characterized by geopolitical instability, escalating trade conflicts, and retreating international cooperation, investors are seeking solid ground.
In this climate, it is not surprising that attention is shifting towards investment forms that combine stability and predictability with societal support. Core real estate – high-quality property in stable economies – fits this need perfectly, according to Max Janssen in Achmea Real Estate’s new Investment Update.
The Netherlands, in this regard, presents a particularly attractive market. The combination of a reliable legal infrastructure, a healthy economy, and demographic trends such as an aging population and ongoing housing pressure ensures that demand for quality real estate remains structurally high. In particular, residential and healthcare real estate benefit from this. This type of real estate offers investors stable rental income with relatively low vacancy rates, in sectors that combine societal urgency with financial returns.
