Being a property investor in the German real estate sites is becoming more appealing as investors from around the world look to capitalize on this industrial economic engine of Europe. There are only 4 German REITs in existence today, but as the international demand for German real estate grows it's likely that there will be more introduced in the near future.

The solid economic conditions in Germany are a good sign to real estate investors in Germany, as the country leads the Euro region in recovery following the 2008 downturn. Not surprisingly, German REITs have outperformed those of other countries in the region .since 2008, but this year they have so far trailed the broader market. The German REIT index got hit hard in the latest market rout, falling a total of 26% from its high on July 26th while the DAX fell 19% in the same time period.
