Frankfurt Real Estate Market
Frankfurt Real Estate Market in 2025
Frankfurt remains one of Germany’s most dynamic real estate markets in 2025. Population keeps growing — by end 2024, about 776,843 inhabitants, up ~0.9% year-on-year. JLL+1
In 2024 alone, the city completed 4,203 housing units — the third-highest annual completion in the last decade. Conversion of commercial properties into residential accounted for 630 units (a 37% increase vs prior year).
Residential — Rents & Prices
Median rent for existing stock stands at circa €16.83/m², with top-end rents (90th percentile) around €18.33/m². New construction commands much higher rents — ≈ €22.29/m². JLL+1
For condominiums, the overall average asking price is ≈ €6,391/m². For new-build units: ≈ €7,997/m². That marks a +2.3% year-on-year increase — signaling price recovery after prior corrections. JLL+1
Demand remains tight. Vacancy is low, supply continues to struggle to match demand, especially for well-located and quality dwellings.
Commercial / Investment Market Dynamics
In H1 2025, transaction volume and activity in Frankfurt real estate rebounded. Number of large transactions (over €10 million) rose 25% compared with H1 2024. Frankfurt City Portal+1
Despite macroeconomic headwinds over recent years, mid-2025 suggests stabilization: demand — both residential and commercial — is rising again. Frankfurt City Portal+2JLL+2
Investors (domestic and international) increasingly regard Frankfurt as a core market for long-term holdings, driven by structural demand, limited supply, and outlook for capital appreciation.
What It Means for Investors and Market Players
Rental income remains strong — although yields are compressed by high purchase prices. Rents rise; vacancy stays low.
Price appreciation resumes — after previous correction, prices are trending upward again. Quality new-build or well-located properties see strongest demand.
Supply remains constrained — demand outpaces construction / conversion capacity, creating competition for desirable units.
Institutional interest persists — Frankfurt’s stability, regulatory environment, and demand fundamentals attract investors, both local and global.
Outlook 2025-2027
Expect continued moderate growth in residential and commercial real estate values, driven by population growth, demand for quality housing, and limited supply. Opportunities will favor developers, value-add investors, and well-capitalized real estate players able to deliver renovation or new-build projects.
Investors should prioritize properties in locations with stable demand, consider long-term holding strategies rather than short-term yield gambits, and focus on assets with long-term capital appreciation potential.
