SIGNIFICANT INCREASE COMPARES TO 2023, BERLIN STRONGEST MARKET WITH €2.7 BILLION
-
Against the backdrop of slowly improving conditions, the Berlin investment market can report a pleasing interim result at the end of the third quarter. Although the current transaction volume of around €2.7 billion has not yet returned to the long-term average (just under €5.2 billion), the significant increase in turnover compared to 2023 (+47%) is a clear indication that investors are regaining confidence that the pricing phase will soon come to an end.

Meanwhile, the capital defended its leading position in a comparison of locations and is the only top market to have exceeded the €2.5 billion mark after the first nine months. With just over €2 billion, Munich is the only investment location that can roughly keep pace with Berlin.

The improved market sentiment is also confirmed by the fact that the third quarter saw the highest number of transactions in the triple-digit million euro range over the course of the year, including the sale of the former Signa project development ‘P1’ opposite KaDeWe, which was also sold earlier this year.

In view of the price adjustment processes, which are now well advanced, combined with increasing planning certainty among investors with regard to financing costs, net prime yields stabilised in the third quarter: As a result, premium high street assets in prime locations (3.70%), prime office properties (4.25%) and top logistics assets (also 4.25%) each maintained their year-end 2023 values.
