VERY SUBDUED TRANSACTION ACTIVITY - HARDLY ANY TRANSACTIONS IN Q3
-
By the end of the third quarter, the Leipzig investment market recorded an investment volume of €115 million. This was the lowest figure in recent years, representing a 60% decrease on the previous year and a 78% decrease on the ten-year average. The consolidation phase of the Leipzig investment market is therefore continuing unabated. The subdued market dynamics observed in the first half of 2025 also accurately describe transaction activity in the third quarter, although a further slowdown compared to the previous two quarters was evident.
-
Market momentum is currently very low in terms of both investment volume and registered number of transactions. Only a few small deals have been reported. However, there are some positive signs, such as the sale of development sites which underlines confidence in the Leipzig market's prospects. Additionally, the retail property segment is comparatively robust, with an investment volume in the mid-double-digit millions. By contrast, no hotel deals have been registered to date. The important logistics and office segments have not yet contributed significantly to the total volume either.

The prime yield for office properties remained unchanged at 5.30%, and for retail high street buildings at 4.80%. Meanwhile, yields for logistics properties rose – as in other German top logistics markets – by 15 basis points to 4.60%.
