Operational key figures for H1 2024 Volume of mortgage finance transactions on Europace jumps by 22 per cent year on year Cooperative banks and savings banks each record a substantial increase of around 50 per cent in their volumes Rise in VALUE AG’s valuation volume and REM’s financing for SMEs, although market conditions remain difficult for both companies Migration to the property management platform for the housing industry continues apace (growth of 58 per cent) Double-digit increase in the volume of premiums from insurance portfolios migrated to SMART INSUR and ePension Berlin, 17 July 2024: The operational key figures for the Hypoport Group’s business models in the first half of 2024 generally improved compared with the first half of 2023. The mortgage finance business models in the Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment were the main contributors to the Hypoport Group’s growth thanks to better market conditions and greater market share for the Europace, Finmas and Genopace platforms. In particular, the volume relating to purchases of existing real estate proved very healthy. This can be explained by the fall in interest rates compared with 2023, the slight rebound in property prices seen in 2024 and a gradually deteriorating supply of rental properties. The volume of lending for new builds remains low because construction costs are still at a very high level. This also applies to new loans taken out for energy efficiency improvements and to the refinancing of expiring loan agreements. The table below shows the details of the changes in the key figures for all three segments.
