INVESTMENT VOLUME MISSED LAST YEAR'S RESULT AND SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW LONG-TERM AVERAGE
-
The Leipzig investment market experienced very subdued transaction activity in the first half of 2025. With an investment volume of only €107 million, the lowest result in recent years had been recorded. The current figure has missed the prior years value by almost 53% and the ten-year average was undercut by 70%. Market momentum is currently low in terms of both investment volume and registered transactions. Only a few small deals were reported, though the number of transactions increased slightly in the second quarter.

One positive aspect of the distribution of the investment volume is that more development sites were sold in the first quarter, which underscores project developers' confidence in the Leipzig investment market. However, indicators of a consolidation phase currently predominate. For instance, no logistics transactions were recorded during the first six months. Only a volume of €9 million was recorded for office properties (10-year average: €86 million). The largest transaction was the mid double-digit million sale of a retail park in the “Plagwitzer Höfe” development.

Since the end of 2023, prime yields have remained stable. Yields for office properties remain at 5.30%, while yields for premium high street buildings and logistics properties remain at 4.80% and 4.45%, respectively.
