  "account": "Germany's metropolitan areas are experiencing divergent rental price trends. According to the Greix-Mietpreisindex from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, nationwide rental prices rose 1.2% in the third quarter of 2026 and 3.7% year-over-year. Hamburg and Düsseldorf saw the largest increases, with Hamburg rising 6.7% and Düsseldorf and Cologne each up 5.4% over the past year. In contrast, Berlin's rental prices increased only 1.4% over the past year, although they rose 2.1% in the third quarter.",
  "summary": "A new index shows where advertised rents are increasing particularly sharply – and where people looking for an apartment can still live comparatively cheaply.",
