New DZ HYP report “The German Real Estate Market 2020/2021”
Approximately one year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the German real estate market – and especially the residential asset class – continues to perform solidly overall. The commercial housing market is still experiencing surplus demand and moderate rent increases, whilst space take-up on the office property market declined during the year. However, due to low vacancy rates and modest new construction activity in the past, increasing investor reticence for office space has not had an impact on the rental development so far. Numerous retailers were forced to close their shops in 2020, which resulted in a broad-based decline in prime rents and rising vacancies in inner cities. These are the results of the latest research report published by DZ HYP, covering developments on the commercial real estate markets of Germany’s top locations: Hamburg, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Munich.

Residential real estate provided the strongest performance, with demand remaining stable throughout the course of the year to date.
