The drop comes amid the biggest property crisis in decades in Germany, Europe's largest economy.

"Until 2022, there was a speculative price bubble in Germany, one of the biggest in the last 50 years," said Konstantin Kholodilin from the macroeconomics department of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW).

"Prices have been falling ever since. The bubble has burst."

For years, the property sector in Germany and elsewhere in Europe boomed as interest rates were low and demand strong.

But a sharp rise in rates and costs has put an end to the run, tipping developers into insolvency as bank financing dries up and deals freeze.

Home prices tumble amid property rout.

Residential property prices in Germany continued their fall, dropping 10.2% in the third quarter from a year earlier, a further grim sign for the nation's real-estate sector, data on Friday showed.

It was the fourth consecutive quarter of declines and the biggest since Germany's statistics office began keeping records in the year 2000.

Canadian homeowners grappling with swelling mortgage costs have become such a significant issue that the Trudeau government is urging banks to go easy on them. But mortgage investment corporations — or MICs — are taking more of a tough-love approach.

And it looks like the market may be finally providing an answer as stock futures tumble today before the open...
