Germany Residential Real Estate Market to Reach USD 885 Billion by 2030, Trailblazing Growth Fuelled by Urban Demand and Rental Resilience

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Germany Residential Real Estate Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.

Germany Residential Real Estate Market Overview

The German residential property market, valued at USD 722.6 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to USD 885.1 billion by 2030, registering a steady CAGR of 4.14%. This forecast highlights a promising upward trajectory following the post-2023 slowdown. A host of structural, demographic, and regulatory drivers continue to support upward momentum in this vibrant sector.

Germany's housing scene is shaped by increasing urbanization, persistent supply shortfalls, and incentive-backed development schemes. Playing a pivotal role are government-backed green building programs such as KfW subsidies, institutional interest in build-to-rent and senior living assets, and a steady inflow of high-skilled migrants-making the landscape more durable and attractive for both private developers and institutional investors.

Key Trends

1. Urban Migration and Smaller Households
Large cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg are drawing a growing population of young professionals and single-person households. This concentration has lifted urban rental and purchase demand-contributing roughly +0.8 percentage points to national market growth over two to four years.

2. ESG Regulations and Subsidies
Support from KfW and related green initiatives has encouraged new, energy-efficient residential developments. Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, in particular, are leveraging this support. Such policies are expected to add about +0.6 percentage points to long-term market expansion.

3. Skilled Migration
A significant wave of international professionals is settling in metropolitan hubs like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. That migration trend is expected to add +0.5 percentage points to growth in the short term.

4. Aging Demographics Outside Urban Areas
Rural regions in eastern Germany are feeling the effects of a growing senior population, generating steady demand for adapted housing solutions over the longer term (+0.4 percentage points).

5. Institutional Inflows into New Asset Classes
Investor appetite is shifting toward build-to-rent schemes, senior-living facilities, and ESG-compliant developments. Institutional capital is helping to stabilize the market, even as margins tighten under rising construction costs-buoyed by access to low-interest finance.
