Market development in Germany

Real estate market report Germany 2023 recently revealed that the number of real estate transactions fell to 866,000, a decline of 16 percent compared to the previous year. The high interest rates and uncertainties have left their mark here too, leading to noticeable price changes and directing the focus to cheaper and very attractive locations.

Due to this development, serious consideration is being given to slowing rent increases. Suggestions such as improving the use of existing housing and converting commercial properties could help. According to experts, interest rates are the main reason for the declining willingness to buy, and this is reflected in the offer prices.

It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the next few months. One thing is certain: the real estate market will continue to be an exciting topic, both in Vienna and in the surrounding regions.
