The market is waiting for the “back-to-office” season
More and more companies are adapting to the new reality, and implementing hybrid working from home and office models. Summertime and the somewhat improved ongoing pandemic situation are giving management the time and space to make balanced and survey-based decisions regarding further work organization. More rapid migration back to offices can be expected once a higher immunization rate has been reached. A bounce-back effect in lease transaction volumes and a return to higher market activity is already expected in the second half of 2021.
