Wohnungsmarkt: Anstieg der Wohnungsmieten hat sich beschleunigt
Das Kiel Institut untersucht fortwährend, wie sich die Angebotsmieten unter anderem in den 30 bevölkerungsreichsten Städten entwickeln. Derzeit sind vor allem Bestandswohnungen gefragt.
The rental market is experiencing an accelerated rise in apartment prices. In the third quarter, apartment rents without accounting for inflation increased by 1.2% compared to the previous quarter, according to the Kiel Institute for World Economics. This is the strongest increase since the first quarter of the previous year. Among the eight largest German cities, Berlin and Düsseldorf saw the most significant rent increases, with 2.1% and 2% respectively.
In the second quarter, nominal rents rose by 0.8% compared to the previous quarter, the Kiel Institute reported. Older apartments are in demand. Compared to the previous year period, rents in July to September were 3.7% higher without accounting for inflation. Jonas Zdrzalek, a housing market expert at the Kiel Institute, said the dynamics of rental prices are gradually increasing again.
Prices for existing apartments, which are already occupied and typically cheaper than new construction units, developed strongly. Year-over-year, rents in Hamburg increased the most at 6.7%. Outside the eight largest cities, rents in Bochum, Augsburg, and Mannheim grew the most, between 6.3% and 5%. The reasons for this development were not mentioned.
It should be noted that the Kiel Institute evaluates rents in 37 cities and regions, including the country's 30 most populous cities. The rental price index Greix provides an overview of how rents are developing in major cities, primarily based on real estate market data from over 100 sources.
