Berlin market for residential and commercial buildings grows

Berlin | In the first half of 2025, the market for residential and commercial buildings in Berlin experienced further numerical growth. According to the latest analysis by the Berlin Expert Committee (Gutachterausschuss), 318 properties were sold – an increase of 10% compared to the same period last year. At the same time, the total transaction volume remained nearly stable at €1.77 billion, due to the continued limited supply of large individual properties (volume above €20 million).

A large part of the market momentum comes from the stable, yield-oriented mid-price segment with increasing investor presence. “While private buyers and family offices have remained consistently active in the market, international investors and investment managers are now returning as well – supported by the positive valuation of Berlin and the residential asset class in particular,” says Benjamin Rogmans, Managing Director of Engel & Völkers Commercial Berlin and Head of the Residential and Commercial Buildings division. “The reason large individual deals are still rare is not due to lack of demand, but to the lack of available product. Especially in the segment above €50 million, interest from institutional buyers is high – but suitable properties are barely available,” he adds.
