Searching for real estate without a broker: child's play in Wuppertal

The suspension railroad and the Pina Bausch Dance Theater - that's what the city of Wuppertal is known for throughout Germany. What is less well known is that Wuppertal, the largest city in the Bergisches Land region with a good 340,000 inhabitants, is also the greenest major city in Germany: about one third of the city area is green space. Steep streets and numerous staircases characterize Wuppertal's cityscape in the middle of the Bergisches Land region, along with noteworthy villa districts from the Wilhelminian period and many other architectural monuments from the 19th and 20th centuries. Wuppertal also has a lot to offer its residents in terms of culture: In addition to the aforementioned Pina Bausch Dance Theater, the famous art collection of the Von-der-Heydt Museum and the world-famous Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra should be mentioned here. A popular destination for weekenders from Wuppertal and the neighboring cities is also the large and traditional Wuppertal Zoo.

Wuppertal: Cradle of Industrialization

Wuppertal is considered the "cradle of industrialization in Germany": the textile industry settled here as early as the 18th century, followed later by chemical and mechanical engineering companies, electrical engineering and tool manufacturers - all industries that still shape the city's economic life today. Companies based in Wuppertal include Bayer AG, the automotive supplier Brose, the wallpaper manufacturer Erfurt & Sohn KG and the large insurance group Barmenia. At the same time, however, Wuppertal has been struggling for some years with the consequences of economic structural change: a relatively high unemployment rate and a growing debt of the city budget. And this despite the fact that the city has good locational conditions, including a well-developed network of public transportation and optimal connections to the rail and road networks. Wuppertal's most famous means of transportation is also a tourist attraction: the suspension railroad, which runs through the city from north to south, largely following the course of the Wupper River.

Large supply of commission-free real estate

Wuppertal has been experiencing a population decline for some time, resulting in relatively low and stable real estate prices. However, there are also large differences in the demand for real estate in Wuppertal. As the Real Estate Compass of the business magazine Capital indicates, prices are rising in popular villa districts such as Brill, Zoo-Viertel and in other good locations, while at the lower end of the scale there are plenty of properties in need of refurbishment at bargain prices. According to the real estate portal immobilienscout24.de, an average rental apartment in Wuppertal costs a favorable 5.70 euros per square meter, condominiums can be had for 1,150 euros/square meter, and owner-occupied homes for an average of 307,000 euros - prices that make living in Wuppertal attractive even for commuters. In addition it comes that a very large portion of the Wuppertaler real estates without commission are mediated - because also the offerers know that they are well advised to advertise their real estates free of commission. Thus they receive more inquiries and can obtain better conclusions of a contract. The chances are on a commission-free real estate also here at the largest, if a dwelling for the rent is looked for. In the case of a condominium or a house purchase, the number of commission-free advertisements is lower, but with a little luck and perseverance, it is also possible here to avoid the unloved brokerage commission.
