Germany may soon compete with London on the international real estate arena. Ultra-high-net-worth investors are increasingly interested in cities such as Berlin and Munich, which have seen a marked increase in activity in the last year.
Being one of the largest economies worldwide with a comparatively stable real estate market, Germany is an interesting place for investments again.
The German core property market has proved to be a safe haven in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

The stability in real estate in Germany is attributable to the country’s conservative mortgage system. Many mortgages are issued at fixed rates, and buyers often put down 30% of the purchase price. This keeps prices from escalating.
For an example of the cost of German real estate, take Bavaria as a unique state within the country. It’s the largest state in Germany and one of the richest. It’s the German people’s favorite place and one they most would like to move to.
It all really depends on what purpose you have for your purchase. You have to do some research to ensure the German real estate you find is right for you.
Now, consider Berlin. This city has been determined to be another top location for real estate in Germany.
Hamburg was another top place for property investment. In this lovely city you can find developed sites ready for construction.
