How are prices and multipliers developing in Munich´s residential locations?

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 Munich´s residential locations can be found in the market report. The following charts illustrate the ranges of purchase prices and purchase price multipliers in Munich.

How is the Munich market for apartment-buildings developing?

The Munich market for residential and commercial buildings has completed its transition phase and is showing increasing movement after two years of restraint. This makes the city an ideal environment for real estate investment, as structural housing shortages combined with moderate prices compared to other European cities offer long-term stability. Current investment property strategies focus increasingly on substance and operational value creation rather than purely market-driven trends. With an average offer rent of 16.10 EUR/m² and a very low vacancy rate of 0.3% , multi-family homes in Munich remain highly attractive for long-term investors.
