CBRE Hungary

Hungary enters the second half of 2026 in a different position from the one it held a year ago. EUR 16.4 billion in frozen EU funds released. Inflation at 1.2% in July. The base rate cut twice, to 5.75%. Business and consumer confidence at multi-year highs. Investment turnover passed EUR 460 million in H1, 57% ahead of last year. Domestic buyers took more than three-quarters of it. International capital is still waiting. The 16th edition of The View covers the economy, property investment, offices, industrial and logistics, retail and hotels, plus sustainability, agricultural valuation, our China Desk and our Szeged office, celebrating turning one year old this month. Our experts set out what they see. Link in the comments. #TheView #RealEstate

The View 16 is out now, and my chapter is Investment. Prime office yields here are 7.00%. Warsaw is a hundred basis points tighter. Same region, comparable buildings. Every time a market's risk falls and it moves towards the euro, prime yields converge. Slovakia did it. Croatia did it. Read the View 16 and find out more.

The View 16 is out, including our team's read on where the Hungarian market goes in the second half of 2026. I hope you find it useful. And if you would like to know what any of it means for your own portfolio, please get in touch with any of our experts.

CBRE Hungary's 'The View' 16 has landed, my part relates to the Economy. The part I keep coming back to is that ten-year forint yields dropped 185 basis points in one quarter, but Property yields are flat. No movement, Real Estate has not yet caught up.

Congratulations 👏👏 to Krisztina Benkő MRICS and Domonkos Tagai for driving this landmark transaction to a successful closing. Szeged Árkád is a key retail asset, and this deal once again demonstrates CBRE Hungary's strength in delivering high-impact transactions in the Hungarian market.
