Top of the Props – June 2008: Germany - a Euro Property Powerhouse?

London, United Kingdom, July 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Interest in the Germany from visitors to TheMoveChannel.com has soared over the last month, with the sleeping giant of Europe's property market breaking into the top five of their Top of the Props chart for the first time in over a year.

After an arguably lacklustre 2007, the German economy got off to a flier in 2008. Indeed, figures from Germany's Federal Statistics Office (FSO) showed the economy grew at its fastest pace in more than 10 years during the first three months of 2008.

This pattern of growth has continued throughout the second quarter of 2008; coupled with other impressive results, 2008 is shaping up to be an impressive year for Germany.

There were other surprises in June’s top 10, including a new number one and some high profile countries slipping down the chart.
