Engel & Völkers | Germany’s residential property market: Prices plateau on a high across country

Germany’s residential property market: Prices plateau on a high across country

56 towns and cities across Germany compared in Engel & Völkers report for 2022
Stable market dynamics despite inflation and buyer restraint
Demand continues to exceed supply in very good locations

Hamburg, 4 October 2022. In this year’s “Market Report for Residential Property in Germany“, Engel & Völkers analyses current market and price developments in 56 selected locations in the Federal Republic of Germany and makes a forecast with regard to market dynamics over the coming year. With the period of extremely low interest rates coming to an end in the spring of 2022, Germany’s residential real estate market is now entering a new phase. The increase in mortgage interest rates and high rate of inflation have seen property price rises of recent years tail off for the first time. In many places, the time to market also increased due to a drop of demand caused by overall buyer restraint. This has led to a plateauing of prices at a high level and, most recently, slight decreases in asking prices in average and simple locations. In July, the asking price for existing freehold apartments settled at a nationwide average of approx. 4,195 euros per square metre. This still represents a growth of 8.2 percent over the same period last year (July 2021: 3,784 euros per square metre). The market segment for houses reflects a similar picture, with average asking prices levelling out at around 415,000 euros across Germany in July (July 2021: 365,000 euros), representing a year-on-year increase of 13.7 percent. “We find ourselves in new and, for many, unfamiliar circumstances. The residential property market in Germany was predominantly a seller’s market for many years. Now we are seeing a shift towards a buyer’s market. Sharp drops in prices are not expected in the future however. This trend is far more a healthy regulating of the exceptionally high price rises witnessed in recent years,” says Till-Fabian Zalewski, CEO of the DACH region at Engel & Völkers.

Freehold apartments: Sustained demand keeps prices stable

Up until this spring, the segment for freehold apartments was still registering significant price rises, with a 10.3 percent increase in the first half of 2022 (HY1 2022: 4,095 per square metre / HY1 2021: 3,713 euros per square metre). From May 2022 onwards, asking prices plateaued across Germany and in the majority of towns and cities surveyed by Engel & Völkers. In July, moderate price declines were registered compared to the previous month of June in Germany’s Top 7 cities, which include Munich (-1.9 percent), Frankfurt (-1.2 percent), Düsseldorf (-1.4 percent) and Hamburg (-1.3 percent). Berlin and Stuttgart, on the other hand, witnessed slight increases in asking prices of +0.4 percent in the capital and +0.7 percent in the state capital of Baden Wurttemberg. With an average price of 10,067 euros per square metre, Munich leads the ranking of all the locations surveyed, followed by Frankfurt at 6,918 euros per square metre and Hamburg at 6,769 euros per square metre. Due to the ongoing shortage of available listings in many places, prices remain stable at a high level. “Living space in city centres is still very much in demand. The availability of freehold apartments in particular remains too low and the population influx into the big cities is so high that prices will continue to plateau and no major downward corrections are to be expected. Many buyer groups are showing strong credentials in terms of equity, in the prime locations in particular, meaning that slight price rises may still be seen in some locations,” says Till-Fabian Zalewski. Through to the end of 2022, Engel & Völkers forecasts moderate price rises in prime locations in more than a quarter of the 56 towns and cities surveyed.

Detached and semi-detached houses: Munich still highest priced residential location

In the market segment for detached and semi-detached houses, the development in interest rates also had a stifling effect on the rise in prices for the first time. While the percentage price increase in the first half of 2022 was as high as 13.7 percent year-on-year (HY1 2022: 390,000 euros / HY1 2021: 343,000 euros), only moderate changes in asking prices have been registered since June. The Top 7 metropolitan areas of Cologne (+ 0.7 percent) and Stuttgart (+ 5.8 percent) recorded slight price rises, while Munich (-1.5 percent), Berlin (-1.1 percent), Düsseldorf (-0.6 percent), Hamburg (-0.4 percent) and Frankfurt (-0.1 percent) all witnessed a slight decrease in prices. With an average asking price of 1.4 million euros, Munich remains the highest priced location in Germany in July 2022, followed by Heidelberg at 975,000 euros and Stuttgart at 898,000 euros. At the same time, there was a considerable rise in the number of publicly advertised property listings across Germany in the summer due to longer times to market as a result of the increased reluctance to buy. “Although buyers have become more discerning, the market also now offers many opportunities,” says Till-Fabian Zalewski, who goes on to emphasise: “Clients with a serious interest in buying have the chance right now to acquire properties that were more difficult to acquire in recent years due to competition from fellow bidders. In many cases, buyers now have the freedom to choose between different properties once again.”

Prices in German towns and cities remain stable

Valuations on the residential real estate market in Germany continue to be very stable, and while market activity has remained dynamic in recent years, real estate has also proven to be resistant to crisis. In 2021, for example, the transaction volume was 182.4 billion euros and, despite the pandemic, grew 11.7 percent over the previous year (2020: 163.3 billion euros). Even with the recent rise in interest rates, no significant decline in prices is expected in Germany’s major cities until the end of 2022. With regard to availability, the more restrained demand for residential property comes at the same time as a recent decline in construction activity due to a lack of available land for development and higher construction costs. Due to the worsening of financing conditions for some property buyers, pressure on the rental market is on the rise. Looking ahead to the coming winter, buying interest is focused in particular on newly built properties and existing homes that have been renovated with energy efficiency in mind and have modern heating systems installed. “The high demand for houses continues, as does the desire to own a home of one’s own. The level of supply is still too low to meet demand – a fact that will more than compensate for the higher interest rates,” says Till-Fabian Zalewski, who stresses the importance of location: “Real estate, especially in very good locations, remains a crisis-proof investment – not least because competitive investment alternatives are lacking.”

Outlook: Micro-locations to play a decisive role

For the coming months, Engel & Völkers anticipates that prices will remain stable in very good locations and only fall in isolated cases. The development of interest rates will impact the market. Some demand could shift to lower price segments as a result. At the same time, the shortage of real estate and decline in new construction activity will have a stabilising effect on the market. “While general sweeping statements were possible in recent years due to price rises across the entire country, exact forecasts are now difficult to make. They will depend greatly on global political and economic factors. It is therefore crucial now and in the coming months to take a close look at the respective micro-location and the property,” says Till-Fabian Zalewski. In the federal states of Hamburg and Saxony, for instance, the real estate transfer tax is set to be increased in 2023, meaning that it might be worthwhile in individual cases to bring forward a planned property purchase. Due to the geopolitical situation, buyers are becoming increasingly interested in energy-efficient real estate, which in turn will mean there will be a greater need for advice on issues such as energy-efficient renovations in the future. “In turbulent times like these, seeking professional advice from experienced real estate experts is especially important – in order to be in a position to assess the changing market climate correctly,” ´Till-Fabian Zalewski adds.

This is the tenth time that Engel & Völkers has published its “Market Report for Residential Property in Germany”. It contains in-depth analysis of price trends in all residential locations, as well as other developments on the market and financing advice (in German): https://www.engelvoelkers.com/de-de/research/immobilienpreisentwicklung/

The launch of the prestigious AED 800 million development marks significant milestones for both the companies: Dar Al Arkan’s continued regional expansion by partnering with the world’s top luxury brands, and the world’s first ever Pagani-inspired exclusive spaces being launched along with the bespoke line of interior furniture, branded Pagani.

DaVinci is situated in the heart of the city directly on the Dubai Water Canal, with close proximity to Downtown Dubai’s top attractions such as Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and many other premium lifestyle locations. The tower offers spectacular and uninterrupted views of the Dubai Water Canal, making the building a true sculpted heaven within the bustling city.

Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer, Pagani Automobili S.p.A. said “We’re delighted to be working with Dar Al Arkan on this project, our first in the region, and we’re excited to be designing the interiors of the incredible DaVinci tower. The living spaces will offer exclusive, bespoke environments, reflecting the cornerstones of our creative philosophy that combines form and function to create unique, handmade objects. It’s a philosophy that has been transmitted to us through the work of Leonardo Da Vinci who we try, in our own small way, to honor every day and after whom we decided to name this tower. The Dubai real estate sector continues to grow immensely and we’re proud of being a part of an exclusive and truly one-of-a-kind development plan that has so much to offer.”

Ziad El Chaar, Vice Chairman of Dar Al Arkan Properties, said: “Dar Al Arkan is proud to collaborate with exclusive partners that help us build the ultimate spaces that awaken the senses in different ways. While we’re paying the utmost attention to creating beautiful living spaces, with the finest details, and unmatched quality; we’re also delivering the most spacious units in the Dubai market with two-bedroom apartment starting at 2100 sq. ft. up to a 7000 sq. ft. penthouse. A unique design and an ultimate sensory experience, the tower construction is currently underway and is set to be completed before mid-2023.This is a project that will match One Hyde Park of London in terms of quality and detailing.”

The stunning DaVinci tower in collaboration with Pagani is one of the best representations of Italian and contemporary design excellence around the world. The tower consists of high-end one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a super luxurious penthouse shaped as a globe with exquisite interiors tailored by Pagani.

The unique apartments, fully fitted with luxury décor elements epitomizing the Pagani style, come in varying sizes and offer unique levels of five-star living, breathtaking views of Dubai, and impressive common areas. These areas are fitted with a fully equipped gymnasium, swimming pool and a magnificent sky garden, all crafted with premium material and designed with the utmost attention to detail.

Residents will have access to additional luxury facilities and services. The tower features a grand lobby with 24/7 concierge and security service.

Expanding the Dar Al Arkan brand to international markets as a testament to the success of Saudi companies in delivering unique projects in new markets. It comes at an opportune time with Expo 2020 which started in October 2021, which will underline the investment potential in Dubai.

Reflective surfaces on the ceiling and a majestic brass dining table – the Fortuna Dining Table by Boca do Lobo – serve as a fascinating setting for a bespoke unique chandelier that orients one in the direction of the stunning view.

In this design project by ZZ Architects, another piece by Boca do Lobo: the Newton freestanding washbasin is a standout piece of international desire that distinguishes itself from all the other designs by its futuristic forms.

Los Vilos House, Chile, by Cristián Boza

The late 20th-century retreat of architect Cristián Boza nestles into a cliffside in Chile that overlooks the South Pacific Ocean. One of its key features is its circular, stone swimming pool that slots into the hillside, which is accessed via an elevated bridge that extends from a roof terrace. For residents who prefer wild water swimming, a large staircase leads down from the top of the site to the oceanfront.

Island Mansion, Capri, by Boca do Lobo Studio

Boca Do Lobo studio brings to life a dream property in Capri, an exclusive island that leads to a millionaire three-story house with world-class interiors, an extensive sun deck, a private heliport, and an infinity pool, all surrounded by the crystalline blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Casa Xólotl, Mexico, by Punto Arquitectónico

This outdoor pool weaves in and out of the stone walls of Casa Xólotl, a Mexican house that Punto Arquitectónico renovated after finding it in a state of disrepair.

On one side of the pool, a waterfall feature has been incorporated within the doorway of the home’s former cistern.

Casa B, Malta, by Architrend Architecture

A rooftop swimming pool is the focal point of Casa B, a concrete house that Architrend Architecture has slotted within a traditional terrace in the seaside town in Malta.

Oak Pass House, USA, by Walker Workshop

This picturesque infinity pool stretches 22 meters along the edge of the roof terrace of a Californian home, which Walker Workshop has carved into a hillside in Beverly Hills.

Casa Monterry, Mexico, by Tadao Ando

Tadao Ando‘s Casa Monterry features a long, linear pool that juts out from its hillside setting to provide uninterrupted views of the Sierra Las Mitras mountains.

Architect Lorenzo Guzzini designed a minimalist infinity pool for this grey-stone villa in Italy, which helps to retain focus on the panoramic views of Lake Como.

Ruckers Hill House, Australia, by Studio Bright

The elongated outdoor pool at Ruckers Hill House in Melbourne is designed to mimic a “colonnaded Roman bath”, lined with tall, white-brick walls inset with upturned arches. It was built by Studio Bright as part of its extension of an existing Edwardian-era home and is framed through a large glass window within an open-plan kitchen and dining room.

Panorama, Argentina, by Fernanda Marques

A 10-meter-long pool shares a thick glass wall with the double-height living area of this Argentinan apartment, resembling a giant aquarium. It was sewn into a narrow space in the apartment’s garden while Fernanda Marques was carrying out an interior renovation. It is accessible from either the home’s second floor or a statement folded stair in the garden.

Antony Gibbon Designs – TWINE: SERIES ONE

In a continued formal exploration of sculptural and anomalous spaces, antony gibbon envisions ‘twine,’ a monumental project characterized by twisting spans of concrete. the architectural designer makes use of a pair of undulating surfaces which rhythmically peel up from the ground to generate interstitial interior space.

these two conditioned zones are envisioned as residential pockets, programmed with both a sleeping space and a kitchen lounge. between these interior zones of the imagined residence is a sunken exterior seating area, partially enclosed by the sweeping overhead structure.

Antony Gibbon Designs – TWINE: SERIES ONE

with his latest project entitled ‘twine,’ architectural designer antony gibbon continues to investigate a sculptural concrete form-finding strategy which can be seen in his mobius house. the geometry mimics the language of a natural shell structure while simultaneously suggesting an almost organic softness and sense of fluid motion. the surface introduces a rhythmic series of unfolding frames which cinematically reveal and echo the profile of the distant hills.

toward the conditioned spaces, the implied boundary of each interior is formalized with a delicate, nearly imperceptible wall of glass which serves to preserve the distinctive rolling profile of the architecture.

while antony gibbon’s ‘twine’ suggests the introduction of a new topography with its organic surfaces, the project intentionally exhibits a physical disconnect from the landscape. through envisioning the context on which the sculptural structure is situated, gibbon generates a vast conditioned ground plane which is finished in stone tiling and extends outward to the distant hills. this suggests an ‘aesthetic distancing’ of nature, in which the natural surroundings do not engage with the architecture but are left to be framed and admired.
