The Germany residential real estate market is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.40% during 2024-2032.

Germany Residential Real Estate Market Trends:

Rapid Urbanization

Rapid urbanization in Germany is acting as a major growth-inducing factor in the market. Major cities, such as Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt, are experiencing increasing population inflows due to job opportunities, better living standards, and educational prospects. According to industry reports, Berlin's population grew by 0.7% in 2023 compared with the previous year. Accordingly, around 27,300 more residents lived in Berlin last year than in 2022. Those of 30 to under 35 years old form the numerically largest age group. With more than 940,000 foreign residents from around 170 nations and an average age of the population of 43 years old, Berlin is a cosmopolitan and young city.  This urban migration fuels the demand for housing, leading to new residential developments and increased property values in urban centers.

Economic Stability

The strong and resilient economy of Germany provides a solid foundation for the real estate market. For instance, since Russia attacked Ukraine on 24th February 2022, millions of people have left the country. Roughly 1.1 million arrivals of people from Ukraine were recorded in Germany in 2022. This is reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) based on provisional results and an ad-hoc evolution of migration status. As Europe’s largest economy, Germany benefits from the robust industrial output, low unemployment rates, and a high standard of living this economic stability attracts both domestic and international investors seeking secure and profitable real estate investments. According to the industry report, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of €4.121 billion in 2023, Germany is the third-largest economy in the world after the United States and China, and thus also the largest economy in Europe. The country's consistent GDP growth and sound fiscal policies ensure a steady demand for residential properties, supporting market expansion.
