Immobilienmarkt: Wohnungsbau legt zu - stärkster Halbjahresanstieg seit 2016
Trotz starkem Plus bei den Baugenehmigungen: Bauindustrie und Ministerium sehen weiter Handlungsbedarf. Warum der Wohnungsbau in Deutschland noch nicht am Ziel ist.
The upward trend in Germany's stagnant housing market continues, as the number of building permits for new and renovated residential units increased by double-digit percentages compared to the same period last year, according to the German Federal Statistical Office. The first half of 2025 saw the strongest growth in a first-half since 2016, with a 15.1% increase to 126,300 units.
This was despite the previous year being relatively weak, with 126,300 residential building permits in the first half of 2025. The record low water level in the Rhine and other rivers may drive up construction costs, as transport ships can carry fewer loads, resulting in delays for the construction industry.
