Assessing the Berlin Real Estate Market. What is a True Turnaround?
Dear Readers,
Following the recent ECB rate pause, many experts believe that the turnaround in the real estate market will take some time. But which turnaround? The often well-founded assessments of consulting firms, institutes, and banks often leave it unclear what kind of crisis everyone is talking about. One turnaround could be when interest rates fall again. Another could be when prices rise again and remain positive. A further scenario is that transactions significantly increase despite slightly higher interest rates. Or are we waiting for the mega turnaround, where interest rates drop, purchase prices rise, and the market picks up again?
We consider it rather unlikely that the next normal will be the old one. Rather, the situation needs to be reassessed. One thing seems clear: Prices are not our problem. Looking at the notarized purchase prices of the last 12 years, it becomes evident that with around 144 percent value growth, it is hardly possible to speak of a price crisis. With these figures, especially in combination with the security of real estate, no ETF or other financial market product can compete, despite occasionally comparable returns, since the fluctuations in the real estate market are not comparable to those in the stock market.
If stability is a problem, then we have a big problem.
Year after year, real estate prices in Berlin have risen from 2011 to 2022, and with the exception of 2015 and 2020, always in double digits. This is evidenced by the figures from the Berlin Expert Committee, which are available to us in aggregated form for these periods.
Yearly price development since 2011

Status Quo
The 12-month development is -1.70 % percent. In the last quarter, prices rose slightly by 1.50 %.
The market for residential and commercial properties in Berlin is revitalizing, with more listings and transactions at recently lower prices. Investors currently find very attractive options.
Take advantage of the current sweet spot. The mix of falling prices, rising rents, scarcity, and population growth offers opportunities for investors and owner-occupiers.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Guthmann
Overview: Current Market Development by District
The offering price range for existing apartments in Berlin ranges from approximately 3,700 to 8,100 EUR/m². The highest prices are in Mitte, followed by Tiergarten, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, and Wilmersdorf. The most affordable apartments are in Marzahn-Hellersdorf and Spandau. A similar picture emerges in new construction, where Mitte, Zehlendorf, and Prenzlauer Berg have the highest prices. The highest average rents for existing apartments are demanded in Charlottenburg. For new apartments, micro-apartments in Köpenick are the most expensive, followed by Mitte and Tiergarten.
Existing Properties
The market for existing properties in Berlin has experienced continuous growth over the past twelve years. Factors such as a prolonged period of low interest rates, a substantial influx of new residents, attractive catch-up potential, and a significant housing deficit have driven the market upward in recent years. Twelve years ago, the median price per square meter for an apartment in Berlin was approximately 2,030 EUR/m² EUR. Today, comparable properties demand around 5,430 EUR/m² EUR, representing a value increase of about more than 145% percent over this period.
Owners who financed property purchases ten years ago did not benefit from the low interest rates that only fell below the 2 percent mark in 2016. Those requiring follow-up financing in 2024 for a purchase made in 2014 can currently finance at similar or slightly worse conditions. Loans with a 5-year term are presently more expensive than those with a 10-year fixed interest rate, indicating that banks also anticipate falling interest rates.

Berlin's Housing Stock in 2024: Opportunities for Investors
In 2024, Berlin's housing stock offers highly attractive investment opportunities. Following a period of consolidation, there are strong indications of a rapid market revival. Given moderate purchase prices and the prospect of rising rents, investors can anticipate substantial value appreciation and increasing rental yields within standard financing periods.

Market Currently Driven by ECB
In Berlin, property purchase prices have fluctuated seasonally over many years at most. By mid-2022, there was a decline in prices for the first time in a long time. The further course in the second quarter of 2024 will be influenced by the ECB's interest rate decisions.
Longer Marketing Periods and Increased number of Listings
The Berlin real estate market for existing properties is divided into three main segments. The price corrections in 2022 and 2023 have strengthened the lower price segment. At the same time, marketing times have lengthened, leading to an increased supply. The table below shows the development of the average marketing time for property listings on ImmoScout24, Immowelt, and classified ads.

New Constructions
Is New Construction in Berlin Set for a Recovery?
The past 24 months have been challenging for the new construction sector. We have analyzed sales contracts, price lists and actually realized sales prices. The average notarized price per square meter has remained constant. In 2022, 2,063 units were sold, in 2023 the number went down to only 1,029 units. In, In the first quarter of 2024, we have identified approximately 280 new apartment listings, indicating a potential recovery in the segment.

Development, Dynamics, and East-West Differences
In Berlin, only about one in six residents (16%) lives in their own home, one of the lowest rates of homeownership in all of Germany. However, more and more tenants want to break away from the competition for rentals and acquire their own property. Purchasing an existing rental apartment presents a viable alternative to the more expensive new construction, with the significant advantage of being able to continue living in the familiar environment. Although the Berlin constitution fundamentally supports the creation of homeownership, regulations such as the division prohibition and Milieuschutz introduce new obstacles.
On the right side of the graphic, the conversions of apartments in Berlin since 2011 are illustrated, while the left side shows new construction activities.
Less Sales Due to Rising Costs and Interest Rates
**For many buyers, higher equity requirements and high interest rates are obstacles, despite stable and sometimes slightly decreased purchase prices in new construction. In recent years, price increases have been less due to margins and more due to more expensive land and higher planning and construction costs. Ten years ago, the average listing price per square meter for a new apartment in Berlin was 3,710 EUR/m²; currently, it stands at 8,530 EUR/m², which is almost 130.20 % percent higher.
Current Discussion, Planning, and Construction Activities in Berlin

We have identified and classified numerous residential construction projects from various sources. Our overview map presents these projects, categorized by their development stage and with information on the number of planned housing units. It provides a quick view of whether a project is in the discussion, planning, or construction phase. In total, over 330 projects of various sizes have been recorded throughout the city of Berlin. Approximately one-third of these projects are currently in the discussion or preliminary planning stage, while around 130 are in the active construction phase.
Rental Housing Market Berlin
The development of the rental market in the German capital is influenced by migration, population growth, ownership rates, monetary policy, geopolitical crises, and housing policy. Over the last 20 years, Berlin has undergone many transformations. Internal migration and international arrivals met a market with relatively low rents, leading to decreased vacancies and rising rents after the turn of the millennium. The population increased, and districts became vibrant neighborhoods. Political measures focused on capping existing rents rather than on new construction, leading to a shortage of supply. The failed rent cap exacerbated this shortage, resulting in more rental properties being removed from the market and either sold or converted into temporarily rented, furnished apartments.
![Berlin rent cap leads to implosion of the rental market](files/uploads/blog/Mietendeckel%20f%C3%BChrt%20zu%20Implosion%20der%20Angebote.png)
Status Quo
The rental market situation remains tense. Current market dynamics and the interest rate environment continue to put pressure on the already limited supply. Rising financing costs and higher equity requirements make purchasing a home more expensive, leading to increased demand in the rental sector. Additionally, the growing fragmentation of the rental market is making it more difficult to find housing.
- According to the 2023 "Mietspiegel" (rent index), the average rent for existing apartments in Berlin is 7.16 euros per square meter. The validity of this value is highly controversial. With the introduction of a qualified rent index in 2024, an increase in the average rent level of at least 10 percent is expected.
- In the standard rental market below 20 EUR/m², our calculations show the average rent in the current quarter is 14.40 EUR/m². The increase compared to the same period last year is about 6.60 %.
- Rents for new apartments and temporary rentals are currently averaging 23.45 EUR/m².

How Big is Housing Shortage?
Determining the exact extent of the housing shortage in Berlin is challenging. However, comparing household numbers with housing stocks reveals the pressure in the local housing market. The "Treemap" exposes another fundamental problem of the scarce rental housing market through the calculated household size: The lack of alternatives for shrinking households leads to blocked trickle-down effects and exacerbates the housing issue because aging households cannot downsize. This results in large apartments being under-occupied and small apartments being over-occupied.
The Treemap displays the aggregated situation in the districts. Clicking on the districts takes you to the neighborhood level, and the back button returns you to the overall view. The red-green scale quantitatively shows the need, and the size of the boxes corresponds to the size of the local housing markets.
According to this method, there is a total housing deficit of approximately 112,000 units with a decreasing pressure from west to east. Some districts in East Berlin theoretically even have low fluctuation reserves. In the districts of Pankow, Köpenick, and Marzahn-Hellersdorf, the housing market is almost balanced, except for some neighborhoods.
More Housing by Deregulation
Is Berlin's acute housing problem characterized not only by a physical shortage but also by a high number of non-market active apartments? Survey results from the years 2011 (Census) and 2018 (Microcensus) indicate that the vacancy rate in the city might be higher than officially assumed. The 2022 Census vacancy figures are not yet available but may provide insights into this issue.
While the statistics from the Census and Microcensus provide imprecise figures, Berlin's extensive rent regulation evidently removes thousands of units from the rental market by economically pushing owners towards selling or furnished renting. Relaxing legal regulations, such as reverting to a nationwide 20 percent capping limit or issuing a real "Mietspiegel" (rent index), could invigorate the housing market and improve the availability of apartments.

Building Blocks
In the second quarter of the current year 2024, the consolidated Berlin rental property market is gaining momentum again. Last year, according to the Berlin Valuation Committee, there were a total of 588 sales of residential and commercial buildings. The average multiplier is currently estimated at just over 25, and the average price per square meter is 2,673 euros. However, not all locations and construction years react in the same way to high interest rates and energy aspects. We would be happy to advise you on this. You can find all relevant information in our rental property report in advance.
Market Dynamics and Price development
After prices for rental buildings in Berlin have risen across the board in recent years, there is currently a greater differentiation according to location and quality. This is shown by our evaluation with data from the Berlin Valuation Committee, with which we have determined the average price level and price range for the 22 old Berlin districts. Across the entire city of Berlin, the average closing for residential and commercial buildings was 2,189 EUR/m² of relevant floor space.

Multipliers lower than before
The multiplier or factor is a measure that indicates the ratio of the purchase price of a property to the annual net cold rent. It shows how many years it would take for the purchase of the property to be amortized through rental income. The formula for this is: Factor = Purchase price / annual net cold rent. Due to the increased interest rates in 2023, the profitability of an investment in real estate has decreased. In this situation, investors increasingly base their decisions on a combination of location quality, the condition of the property, and its development potential. In 2023, the multiplier initially dropped significantly but has since stabilized.
Listings
It is generally not advisable to advertise an apartment building for sale openly on real estate listing sites. Many of these offers are difficult to sell, either because the asking price is too high or for other reasons. In addition, the asking price on property exchanges often does not reflect the actual market value. Nevertheless, we would like to show the development of apartment blocks offered on property exchanges in recent years. Our analysis reveals two key findings: Firstly, that the asking price is declining, and secondly, that although the number of openly offered properties has fallen considerably recently, it is still high in terms of overall turnover on the Berlin apartment block market. If you need support in getting out of the sales impasse of your property, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will develop an effective sales concept for your property.
Real Estate Market: Trends for 2024
After prices in almost all districts have fallen for about 20 months, they are now stabilizing at a lower level and are already showing slight increases in some districts. Rising rents and the assumption that the ECB will cut the key interest rate at least once in 2024 contribute to this stabilization. Banks are already calculating with falling construction interest rates, also considering the development of covered bonds and government bonds.
- The rental level remains high for the foreseeable future and will continue to rise.
- Investors with high liquidity currently dominate the market.
- Energy efficiency, overall condition, and location are crucial criteria.
- A recovery in the new construction sector is expected from the second half of 2024.
European Central Bank Holds Rates Steady, Signals Peak in Interest Rate Cycle
In a series of ten adjustments, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised the benchmark interest rate to 4.50 percent and is now (as of February 2024) entering its third consecutive interest rate pause. The last time the benchmark interest rate in the Eurozone was near this level was in the summer of 2008, amid the international economic crisis, at 4.25 percent, slightly below the current rate. About six months later, the ECB began to lower the rate in several steps. Economists are increasingly of the opinion that the interest rate adjustment of September 14, 2023, marked the peak.
The projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the ECB regarding the potential further course of inflation are closely aligned. The ECB anticipates that inflation will decrease steadily but slowly over the coming years. Against the backdrop of decreasing cost pressure and the ECB's monetary policy, inflation is expected to fall to 2.7% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025, potentially reaching 1.9% in 2026. According to these projections, inflation would return to the target corridor of just over 2 percent by 2025. Recently, mortgage rates have decreased by up to 1.2 percent for ten-year terms.
