Rental Housing Continues to Attract Investors

The residential rental sector accounted for the largest share of investment activity in the second quarter. Growing investor interest continues to be driven primarily by expectations of future capital value growth, supported by demographic trends and the declining affordability of owner-occupied housing. Alongside the office sector, residential rental assets have become one of the key drivers of the Czech investment market.

Czech Capital Remains Dominant

The Czech investment market continues to be driven primarily by domestic capital. Czech investors accounted for 74% of all investment activity in the second quarter, although the gradual return of foreign investors is becoming increasingly evident. Domestic capital is expected to remain the dominant force in the market, while foreign investors are also likely to become more active on a selective basis during the second half of the year.

Prime Yields Remain Stable

Despite rising interest rates and higher financing costs, prime yields remained stable across most real estate sectors. In contrast, yields in the residential rental sector compressed slightly. Strong investor demand, coupled with a limited supply of high-quality assets, continues to support pricing and prevent any significant outward movement in yields.

Positive Outlook for the Second Half of 2026

The outlook for the Czech investment market remains positive. Strong investor appetite, the gradual selective return of international capital and several major office, logistics and residential transactions currently under negotiation are expected to drive market activity in the second half of the year. At the same time, the limited availability of prime assets should continue to support stable pricing and yields.
