bulwiengesa real estate index 2026

After several difficult years, the bulwiengesa Real Estate Index has recovered with a nominal increase of 1.8%. However, the real estate industry remains in a phase of cautious restraint. Persistently low completion figures, continuing high construction costs, and hesitant investment decisions by commercial and private players are shaping a fragile market environment with high demands on the industry, which is hoping for further economic stimulus. Forward deals and pre-letting are showing initial signs of recovery in 2025, but cannot yet provide project developers with the necessary planning security.

The most important results for 2025:

  • Real estate index rises by 1.8% in nominal terms
  • Housing market back in clear positive territory: rents rise sharply
  • Office rents increase in central locations, while retail remains under pressure
  • B cities show the strongest growth nationwide
