Houses and apartments: land prices are falling, but property prices are not - how can that be?

In Germany, the prices of building plots are decreasing in expensive cities and regions, according to recent data from the Boris-D portal. In Munich, for example, the prices of building plots for apartment buildings have dropped by 10-30% since 2024, with the city's Gutachterausschuss reporting that prices have fallen back to 2018 levels.

Similar declines have been seen in other expensive cities and regions, including Berlin, Baden-Baden, and Sylt, where the average plot price has fallen by 4.6% to €1480 per square meter. Despite this, experts say that the impact on housing prices is limited due to a fundamental shortage of housing supply.
