According to preliminary calculations, apartments and houses rose in price by an average of 12 percent in the third quarter compared to the same quarter in the previous year Federal Statistical Office announced on Wednesday in Wiesbaden.
This is the second time the largest price increase since the beginning of the time series in 2000. The statisticians had already calculated an increase of 10.8 percent in the second quarter.
Low interest rates, scarce living space, a lack of investment alternatives, especially for large investors, and a robust economy have been driving the real estate boom for a long time.
