What are the implications for the housing market in Finland?
The future of the office. Some say there is a need for fewer offices in the future, as it becomes more common to work from home. Others say that we need large offices to keep safe distances between colleagues also in the future.
Changes in shopping behavior (e.g. online shopping) are happening. What are the implications in regards to retail properties?
Are inflation and rising rates affecting the real estate market?
What trends with regards to investor demand (foreign investors and others) are to be expected?
