According to the analysis of the Tagesspiegel, the purchase price per square meter for apartment buildings in Berlin has almost doubled between 2000 and 2016. Other numbers indicate that between 2015 and 2016 alone the prices have increased by 15.7%. Both is more than you could earn with international shares. Studies, such as the Immobilienpreisindex by vdpResearch, see no indications for a decrease of the rally anytime soon. After all, according to the latest prognosis of the senate administration, Berlin’s population will grow by 180,000 inhabitants by 2030, of which every single one will be seeking a place to live and of which many will be assuming well-paid job positions. These are the perfect preconditions for a continuing increase of purchase prices.

Given the longstanding upswing, the old real estate mantra “location, location, location” applies now more than ever, in order to protect yourself from possible risks of falling prices in apartment buildings. And this does not only account for Grunewald, Kurfürstendamm and Unter den Linden, but also for the new trending neighborhoods of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln or Weißensee. Here, investment-oriented buyers profit from the rapid development of the city – and from our excellent market analyses that we base our purchase recommendations on. A special service we offer to home owners of apartment buildings, is a non-binding and free of charge assessment of their real estate. You will be surprised to learn how much your realty is worth today. Furthermore, if you are interested in selling your apartment building, we support you with personal contacts to institutional investors and the comparison of different selling models. Whether you want to sell individual apartments or the building in its entirety – with us, you’re guaranteed to get optimal guidance in the event of a sale.

Of course, despite our longstanding experience, we can’t tell with absolute certainty where the journey on the real estate market will take us – but whoever would like to jump on the bandwagon and make an investment, has the chance to do so today.
