                developments. The search for, negotiation, approval and execution of
                transactions lead to considerable delays along the time line. The mar-
                ket data received on a particular day is based on decisions which have
                generally been taken months beforehand – and in the case of some
                construction projects many years ago. With this information basis market
                trends are often identified too late to bring about effective and efficient
                reactions. As real estate markets do not exist in splendid isolation from
                the general economic environment, leading indicators elsewhere in the
                economy can possibly be useful, however. This study is dedicated to the
                search for corresponding parameters which correlate with the real estate
                market and precede it where possible, therefore. Thus a number of lea-
                ding indicators with striking correlations can be identified, which when
                taken alone do not allow for reliable conclusions to be drawn, but taken
                as a whole could serve as early indicators for possible developments on
                the real estate markets.
