Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Thuringia have the highest rental yields in Germany (Q2/2023). In terms of rental yields for existing apartments, Anhalt-Bitterfeld (Saxony-Anhalt) and Gera (Thuringia) are at the top with 5.4 percent. According to an analysis by ImmoScout24, rental yields in the major metropolitan areas are between 2 and 3 percent for existing and new-build apartments. Düsseldorf achieves the lowest average rental yield of 2.3 percent for new-build apartments. By way of comparison: in Neunkirchen in Saarland, a rental yield of 4.0 percent can be achieved with a new-build apartment, in the Vogelsberg district in Hesse 3.9 percent and in Brandenburg an der Havel 3.7 percent.
Dr. Gesa Crockford, Managing Director of ImmoScout24, emphasizes that property purchases have increased in value by 50 to 60 percent over the past five years despite temporary price fluctuations. She recommends that investors also consider smaller towns and districts. Rental yields there can sometimes be higher on average than in Germany's major cities.
