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 housing market in Germany's major cities is grappling with rising demand for affordable three-bedroom apartments, attracting queries such as "Young family seeks affordable three-bedroom apartment." Scarce affordable housing in urban agglomerations exacerbates the issue. A demographic shift, however, might gradually resolve the problem in the coming years, although this scenario appears plausible initially.
The idea revolves around the large birth cohorts retiring, their offspring having departed, property owners aging, and eventually, their houses and apartments hitting the market. Experts refer to this phenomenon as the "Silver Tsunami."
The Institute of German Economy (IW) conducted fresh calculations on this matter. A study by researchers from Cologne, for the association of savings banks and exclusively disclosed to the trade publication Handelsblatt, delves into the potential consequences. The study provides insights into where demographic change could exert pressure on housing prices across all 400 German counties and cities, and where it is less likely to do so.
