Estateguru , a pan-European real estate crowdfunding platform, continues to focus on enhancing its business operations, offering investors different avenues to diversify and capitalize on potential opportunities.
Recent updates from European investment platform Estateguru highlight key developments: the launch of a Real Estate Auctions section and a solid July portfolio performance marked by breakthroughs in Lithuania alongside different types of investment tools.
These enhancements seemingly underscore Estateguru’s resilience and intend to enable users to navigate market fluctuations with greater confidence.
At the core of the update is the new Real Estate Auctions resource section.
This initiative addresses a critical aspect of lending: borrower defaults. When a borrower fails to meet obligations, the collateral property—often a valuable asset like land or buildings—enters the sale process.
For investors, this isn’t just a risk; it’s a potential opportunity.
Estateguru’s auctions section reportedly curates a selection of these properties and related claims, some exclusive to the platform, transforming distressed assets into accessible investment prospects.
The resource features various listings, from residential apartments and commercial buildings to development projects and plots of land.
Each entry provides transparent details: location, the latest market valuation, background on the asset, and a direct link to the official auction platform in the relevant country.
These auctions are hosted on external sites managed by bailiffs or bankruptcy trustees, ensuring regulatory compliance.
For select assets, Estateguru’s own debt management entity steps in as the seller, enabling direct transactions without intermediary fees.
To participate, users create an account on the auction site, deposit funds as required, place bids, and await closure.
Winning bidders then settle with the trustee, navigate a standard 30-day appeal period, and finalize via notary.
This setup aims to benefit all stakeholders.
Original loan investors recover funds more swiftly, while new buyers snag properties potentially below market value—perhaps suitable for those eyeing renovation flips, long-term rentals, or portfolio expansion.
As Estateguru notes, it’s a move that seemingly aligns with sustainable lending practices, minimizing losses and fostering market liquidity.
Early listings reportedly showcase high-potential assets across Europe, hinting at untapped value in secondary markets.
Complementing this is Estateguru’s July portfolio update.
Loan volumes soared to €6.06 million—the platform’s highest since February—fueled by a record €2.79 million from Lithuania, the team’s strongest showing in years.
This surge in funded projects, one of the year’s peaks, flooded investors with choices, from urban developments to rural revitalizations.
Repayments hit €7.52 million, including €5.03 million in principal, €1.8 million from recovered non-performing loans, and €0.69 million in returns.
Despite a minor hiccup from a resolved Finnish loan with partial capital loss, the average return remained competitive.
Looking broader, Estateguru’s track record remains steady: €180.2 million issued in 2023-2024, with 76% (€137.1 million) repaid by July’s end, 20% on schedule, and just 4% (€6.9 million) non-performing under active recovery.
In 2025, €39.7 million in loans claim over 95% on-track performance, reflecting prudent underwriting amid economic headwinds.
Improving accessibility are two new tools rolled out this month.
EG Grow, a user-friendly auto-investment feature, drew over 2,000 sign-ups in weeks, automating diversified allocations for hands-off growth.
Paired with the freshly launched Estateguru mobile app—now on Android and iOS—it puts portfolio monitoring, bidding, and EG Grow within users’ reach.
These updates aim to democratize access, especially for mobile-savvy investors tracking auctions or Lithuanian deals on the go.
Estateguru‘s recent focus on auctions and expansion signals a growing ecosystem, where defaults may possibly become opportunities.
As Europe’s real estate sector continues to mature, platforms like Estateguu intend to bridge lenders and buyers, potentially targeting more resilient returns.
