According to experts, there will probably be a slight increase in prices on the real estate market. In addition, more and more companies in Germany are worried about their existence. The real estate industry is coming off a year of rising rents, falling purchase prices and high construction interest rates. What will 2025 bring? Carsten Herz, real estate team leader at Handelsblatt, talks about this. "The majority of experts expect purchase prices to rise slightly. But hardly anyone expects big jumps," says Herz. When it comes to housing construction, according to Herz, the experts are even more likely to expect the already tense situation to deteriorate further. In 2021, the newly elected - and now failed - traffic light coalition had set a target of 400,000 new apartments per year. Last year, however, according to projections by the construction industry's leading association ZDB, there were only just over 250,000 apartments. And the two upcoming major political events, the inauguration of the future US President Donald Trump and the federal election in February could also have a lasting impact on the real estate market in Germany.
