Holiday homes and flats on the Baltic Sea

Buy and sell real estate on the Baltic Sea - with Engel & Völkers

In the eighteenth century, the dukes of Mecklenburg were already drawn to real estate in Kühlungsborn, Germany's first seaside resortthe first seaside resort in Germany. To this day, the Baltic Sea region is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Germans, but also for European foreigners. The East German coastal region stretches from Lübeck to Rostock across the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and attracts several million tourists every year. However, the romantic coastal villages, for example on Timmendorfer Strand, and properties in bustling port cities such as Rostock not only exert a strong attraction on travellers, but also convince locals and those who want to become locals to make a property purchase.

What are the prices for Baltic Sea real estate?

According to the Engel & Völkers Holiday Property Market Report, there is an unbroken high demand for holiday homes and flats in areas developed for tourism and in high demand, which even leads to an excess demand. As the resorts are popular with travellers all year round, there is also the option of renting or a mixed concept of owner-occupation and renting, which makes the capital investment in a property on the Baltic Sea particularly profitable.

As further development is very limited in direct waterfront locations, the popularity of these properties on the Baltic Sea meets a limited supply of properties, which has a positive effect on price development. The same effect can be observed for land in the Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Overall, property prices in the Baltic Sea region have remained stable for several years.

Many reasons speak for buying a property on the Baltic Sea

The dream of buying a house by the sea is not only romantic. Rather, buying a property or a plot of land on the Baltic Sea offers the opportunity to invest one's own capital in a crisis-proof manner and with the prospect of a high return. This is a good option especially for young families and couples who are settled in the city and are looking for a retreat for their free time. But seniors and retirees also occasionally opt for a quiet retirement in a picturesque setting with good infrastructure and swap their flat in the city for a house on the Baltic coast and, for example, a property on Rügen.

The most popular types of property on the Baltic Sea include first and foremost the house and flat with a sea view. However, old farmhouses and thatched-roof houses are also gaining in importance. These are often so-called collectors' properties, and emotional reasons also play a role in their purchase. The price ranges for such special houses or flats are usually higher, but the target group is also more pointed. Properties in Warnemünde often impress with their comfort and exclusivity, while properties in Wismar can also be more affordable.
