Immobilien: Wo um Hamburg herum für Pendler noch Schnäppchen locken

In the coming month, Seevetal, located south of Hamburg, will decide on the fate of 45 coveted plots in the "Nördlich Göhlenbach" residential area. Those selected will pay 450 Euros per square meter for an apartment, row house or half of a double house. They must commit to living there for at least ten years. For many buyers, purchasing a home outside of Hamburg can be a complex calculation with many unknowns.

Recent price increases in the area mean that buying an investment property may no longer be financially advantageous. A study by the Hamburg Institute of World Economics, commissioned by the Postbank, reveals the best locations for commuters around Hamburg. Seevetal tops the list, making it a financially sound choice for future homeowners.

The city's excellent railway connection to Hamburg makes it ideal for commuters. The study highlights the importance of considering factors such as infrastructure, childcare options and access to the city when choosing a location outside of Hamburg. Despite the significant price differences between Hamburg and the selected 24 Umland towns and municipalities, purchasing a larger unit in the Umland may still be financially worthwhile after 25 years of commuting.
