Residential Dashboards
Key Takeaways
Residential transaction volume posted €8.9bn in 2025.
- Although this result is in line with that of 2024, considerably fewer high-volume deals were signed with a significantly larger share of deals ranging between €25m and €100m. This indicates that the market is on much more stable footing and no longer highly dependent on individual high-volume deals in connection with one-off situations as in previous years. At the same time, investors also appear to be targeting investment opportunities outside Germany's tier-1 cities.
- The rental market continues to see steep rental growth, particularly in terms of a short to medium-term horizon. Three top locations, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, posted double-digit growth rates in asking rents over the past 12 months in the new-build segment.
- Despite an expected but delayed recovery in construction activity, the new‑build supply gap is set to persist in the face of rising population figures and structurally strong demand. As a result, upward pressure on rents will continue, particularly in the new‑build segment. Limited supply is meeting robust demand and stable demographic trends. In this environment, high‑quality residential investments offer reliable and predictable cash flows, underlining the continued attractiveness of the sector for investors.
