Market figures and trends for the Commercial Residential Market in Germany

DOWNLOAD Q4 2025

With 0.2% growth, the German GDP practically stagnated in 2025, although this represents the best figure since 2022. Thanks to expansionary fiscal policy, however, the outlook is improving:Consensus Economics expects solid growth for 2026 (1.1%) and 2027 (1.5%).

The economic weakness of previous years continues to impact the labor market.

KEY POINTS 2025
  • The supply side paints a mixed picture. Regarding completions (2024: approx. 39,500 units, -8% YoY), a further decline of approx. 10% is emerging for 2025.
  • After growth rates of up to 10% in 2024, rental price growth initially weakened to 3.9% (YoY) by mid-2025.
  • In a city comparison, Dusseldorf and Hamburg are currently showing the strongest growth, with median purchase price increases of 8.5% and 4.4% (YoY) respectively.
  • The supply of available rental apartments remains extremely tight.
  • Purchase prices for condominiums continued their moderate recovery, which began in mid-2024, throughout 2025.
  • Despite overall rising asking rents, housing affordability in the rental sector improved slightly in 2025.

'The slight decrease in transaction volume does not reflect the actual market dynamics and the high level of interest in the residential market in Germany. We see many positive signals in the market that indicate high interest and increasing market momentum.'
