Trends in house purchases in Brandenburg

According to the IVD Berlin-Brandenburg, there has been a growing demand for single-family homes in Berlin and parts of Brandenburg for about three years. Private-to-private offers are naturally in particularly high demand. The prices rose in the past year in the entire Land. Objects, with which no broker commission results, find therefore in the double sense particularly large interest.
From a inquiry of the real estate federation IVD it results that the demand for single family houses in Brandenburg will continue to rise also in 2014. This development is additionally favored by the baby boomers up to 2010, who will generate a further increase in demand for detached and semi-detached houses in the state of Brandenburg up to 2020.
On average, a detached house in Brandenburg cost 147,000 euros in 2013. By comparison, buyers in Berlin paid €295,000 for a house in a basic or medium location and €560,000 for a house in a good or very good location.
In the Berlin region, the average price for a single-family home was 190,000 euros. In contrast, only 90,000 euros had to be paid on average in more remote regions.
The most expensive municipalities in the entire Speckgürtel around Berlin are Teltow, Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow. Properties sold without a broker are particularly lucrative here.
In Potsdam, the already high prices have risen sharply once again. The prognosis is that this trend will continue above all in the Speckgürtel for one and two-family houses, since projections assume there a further influx of humans, who look for their new food center in the dynamic Metropolregion Berlin Brandenburg.
The need for properties and one and two-family houses is high. According to information of the IVD already in the last year the demand for attractive properties exceeded the market offer in many cases. In such times brokerage-free offers are naturally thinly sown.
