The forecast of the market turnover in the survey depicts an interesting picture. On one hand, strong transactional willingness (both from vendors and purchasers) point to the direction of elevated investment turnover. On the other hand, many think that current volumes are close to the potential maximum on the market simply because there is nothing left to trade. These two sentiments contradict and result in a wide range of forecasted volume (EUR 1.4-2.1 billion) and a high degree of uncertainty.

CBRE have a rather conservative view and foresee ca 1.5 bln EUR trade volume in 2019 on the Hungarian commercial real estate market.
