Real Estate: Where Buyers Save Up to 62 Percent in the Metropolitan Outskirts
High purchase prices are causing more people to move to the suburbs of major cities. Exclusive figures reveal just how much the surrounding area still pays off for commuters.
Marlies Scheren, a 49-year-old teacher, moved from Berlin to the Brandenburg town of Werder two years ago. She and her husband now pay 265,000 euros for a 78-square-meter apartment, commuting two to three days a week to the capital. This move is becoming increasingly common among Germans, despite rising property prices in the outskirts of major cities.
Where are still attractive locations for buying a home or apartment, and can one still save a significant amount? Using exclusive data from the Von Poll Immobilien real estate agent and other studies, the Handelsblatt evaluated the price development in the outskirts of Germany's largest cities. The analysis reveals where a purchase pays off price-wise.
