The rental market will remain a key issue for tenants and landlords in 2025. In view of the ongoing housing shortage and rising construction costs, the question arises as to how rental prices will develop in the coming months. Experts expect rents to continue to rise in many regions, with regional differences becoming more pronounced.
Urban agglomerations as price driversIn major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, demand for housing remains high. At the same time, supply remains limited, which continues to drive up rents. New construction projects are often unable to meet demand as building land is scarce and construction costs are high. Forecasts show that rents in major cities could also rise by up to 5 % in 2025.
The situation is different in rural areas, where rental prices are stabilizing or rising only slightly in many places. Here, tenants benefit from a greater supply and less competition for housing. Nevertheless, there are also exceptions in rural areas - particularly in regions with good transport links or a high quality of life.
Influence of political measuresThe German government is planning various measures to curb rents in 2025. These include the expansion of social housing construction and stricter regulations on rent control. However, experts are skeptical as to whether these measures will be enough to stop prices rising in cities. In the long term, however, increased construction activity and state subsidy programs could help to ease the market.
ConclusionThe development of rents will continue to be characterized by regional differences in 2025. While rents are expected to continue to rise in metropolitan areas, tenants in rural regions will benefit from stable prices. Landlords should address current developments at an early stage in order to adapt their rental strategies accordingly.
