Immobilien: Die Babyboomer verkaufen ihre Immobilien – was das für die Preise heißt
Die Häuser der geburtenstarken Jahrgänge könnten bald auf den Markt kommen. Eine Studie, die dem Handelsblatt vorab vorliegt, zeigt die Folgen für alle 400 deutschen Landkreise und Städte.
Frankfurt – The phrase "Young family looking for affordable three-bedroom apartment" is a common sight in Germany's major cities, reflecting the scarcity of affordable housing in metropolitan areas. However, a possible solution to this issue may stem from demographic changes, according to experts. The idea may seem plausible at first glance: as the baby boomers reach retirement age, their children have long since moved out and the property owners grow older, eventually their homes and apartments enter the market.
This phenomenon is referred to as the "Silver Tsunami." Now, the Institute of German Economy (IW) has conducted new calculations to explore the potential implications. A study by researchers in Cologne for the association of savings banks, exclusively provided to the Handelsblatt, analyzes the possible consequences across all 400 German districts and cities.
It highlights where the demographic shift could put pressure on property prices, and where it might not.
