How are prices for luxury properties developing?

The high demand for luxury properties in Germany and the limited supply of properties of this type make the market particularly exclusive.

A villa with generous living space and a large number of rooms can be an example of such a property. But the size of the living space is not always decisive: a penthouse in the best location in the city, with a view over the city, often has a similar price.

Outside the top 7 cities, luxury properties on Sylt and Norderney or on Lake Starnberg are particularly in demand. These are often second homes or holiday homes and flats.

Where is it worth buying a luxury villa?

The word villa was originally used to describe a Roman country house or a manor house. In the meantime, the term luxury villa is often used synonymously for many different types of exclusive and high-quality real estate. Luxury villas are usually concentrated in individual city districts or individual streets. These districts tend to be located on the outskirts of the city and thus combine the advantages of the big city with life in the countryside. Here, buyers expect a particularly high quality of life, good transport connections, outstanding educational opportunities and exclusive shopping facilities.

Among the most sought-after locations for luxury villas are the 7 major German cities of Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Cologne and Stuttgart. The districts of Düsseldorf-Heerdt, Munich-Solln, Berlin-Grunewald and Hamburg-Blankenese are particularly well known and sought after as villa districts. However, there are also some areas outside the metropolises that stand out due to their particularly high price level. These include, for example, Sylt or Lake Starnberg.
