Market Update: WohnBarometer
Every quarter, the "ImmoScout24 WohnBarometer" shows the development of rental and purchase prices in Germany as a whole and in the seven largest metropolitan areas (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt (Main), Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart). The analysis is based on the listings for existing and newly built apartments for rent or purchase on Germany's largest online marketplace for real estate, ImmoScout24. The price data is supplemented by information on supply and demand as well as a price forecast for price forecast for the upcoming 12 months.
The "ImmoScout24 WohnBarometer" is published regularly at the end of each quarter and is then made available for download here. The complete overview is available in German here:
“The purchase market showed a clear stabilisation in the second quarter. Stable mortgage rates are supporting demand, particularly in metropolitan and rural areas. At the same time, value retention, location, and a property's condition remain key factors in buyers' purchasing decisions. In the rental market, asking rents continue to rise only moderately, while ancillary costs are becoming an increasingly important cost factor for many households.”
