Study: Eastern Germany's mid-sized cities are becoming increasingly attractive

TAG Immobilien AG Housing Market Report 2017

  • TAG Housing Market Report Eastern Germany 2017 analyses 27 large and mid-sized cities in Eastern Germany
  • Growing demand for housing in areas around major Eastern German cities
  • Increase in popularity and new residents drives up rents and purchase prices, while vacancy rates fall 
  • Household housing cost burden remains stable or even declines due to strong purchasing power growth

Hamburg, 18 October 2017 - Eastern Germany's housing markets are on course for further growth. Urban populations continue to expand while vacancy rates fall. As a result, rents and property purchase prices are increasing in many locations. The good news: "Despite the fact that rents are rising, dynamic purchasing power growth means that household housing cost burdens remain stable or have even declined in some places", said Claudia Hoyer, Member of the Management Board at TAG Immobilien AG. This has been confirmed by the "Eastern Germany Housing Market Report 2017", published by TAG Immobilien AG today. As with last year's study, the real estate consultancy firm Wüest Partner Deutschland analysed data from 27 large and mid-sized cities in Eastern Germany, including data on population and economic growth, rents and purchase prices, property yields and the financial burden of housing costs across the region.
The report also includes interesting details about the development of gross yields and price development in Berlin.
