To evaluate market activity, a look at sales and turnover is crucial. A property sale is also referred to as a transaction. The transaction volume quantifies the purchase price paid for all properties sold within a specific period. The following chart shows how many multi-family homes were sold in Gelsenkirchen in recent years and the respective transaction volume.
The quoted rent is the net cold rent as found in apartment advertisements. The statistics for quoted rents do not include figures from existing tenancy agreements, but only from new contracts. The evaluation of quoted rents is based exclusively on online apartment advertisements. The chart below (left) shows the average amount a tenant in a Gelsenkirchen multi-family home would have to pay per square meter, excluding service charges. You can also see (right) how many apartments were offered in both existing and new buildings. Below, a table shows the average quoted rents for existing apartments by sub-district.

The value of an investment property is significantly determined by its residential location, with a distinction made between prime, very good, good, and basic locations. These boundaries are often granular and do not always coincide with administrative districts. In some cases, a single street determines the classification. The evaluation is based on indicators such as building condition, streetscape, and infrastructure. Note*: A detailed map of Gelsenkirchen´s residential locations can be found in the market report. The following charts illustrate the ranges of purchase prices and purchase price multipliers in Gelsenkirchen. The latter indicates the payback period: for example, a multiplier of 20 corresponds to a rental yield of 5%. Generally, a lower multiplier means a higher rental yield.
