Find out on this page how real estate prices in Munich are changing, which districts are currently the most sought-after in Munich, how Mr. Lodge determines real estate values in the current market situation, what rents and purchase prices can be achieved and why we can competently support you in this endeavor.
Munich has grown strongly in recent years. As the third-largest metropolis in Germany, the city of over 1.6 million inhabitants is in high demand as a place to work and live.
In summer 2025, the real estate market in Munich is in much better shape than it was at the end of 2024. Following the decline in purchase prices to around €7,800/m² in the fourth quarter of 2024, the current average price is now back at around €8,400 to €8,500/m². This means that the market has bottomed out and is showing a noticeable stabilization with a slight upward trend. Increased demand, more sales transactions and Munich's continued attractiveness mean that the Bavarian capital is once again proving its strength as one of the most solid and future-proof real estate addresses in Germany.
Anyone selling a property in Munich needs an experienced market professional to determine the fair market price. After prices per square meter have only risen over a long period of time, the price adjustment now requires special care after a phase of falling prices.
The experienced real estate agents at Mr. Lodge first develop a sensible, individual sales strategy. When determining the right property price, they also take into account what buyers in Munich can currently afford and in which target group the property on offer has the best chances of selling.
Real estate prices in Munich have been at record levels for years. If you look at the purchase prices for condominiums, they have been at an absolute high since 2012. At that time, a square meter of living space could change hands for 3,428 euros. At the beginning of 2022, the average price was 9,187 euros. That corresponds to almost a tripling of the selling price.
This unmediated price increase reached a temporary peak at the end of 2022. Since then, prices per square meter in Munich have initially fallen.
There were signs of a trend reversal in the second quarter of 2024: Various sources, including Immoscout24, Immobilienzeitung and Sprengnetter, report an increase of between 0.1% and 0.4%. The IVD writes on the market situation: “The rising number of inquiries indicates a gradual market recovery.” Official data for the end of 2024 now shows a slight increase again compared to the previous year, confirming the stabilization of the market.
Development of asking prices for condominiums in Munich from 2012 to the 1st quarter of 2025 (in euros per square meter)
Abb. 1: Durchschnittliche Angebotspreise für Eigentumswohnungen in München (Euro pro m²). Seit 2012 sind die Preise stark gestiegen – von rund 4.000 €/m² im Jahr 2012 auf etwa 9.500 €/m² zum Höchststand 2022
Die Grafik verdeutlicht den langfristigen Aufwärtstrend und jüngste Veränderungen. Zwischen 2012 und 2019 legten die durchschnittlichen Angebotspreise Münchner Wohnungen jährlich zweistellig zu. Im 1.Quartal 2013 lag der Quadratmeterpreis bereits bei ca. 5.027 € (+15 % zum Vorjahr). Bis 2015 verdoppelten sich die Preise gegenüber 2010 (+85 % auf ~5.750 €/m²). In den folgenden Jahren setzte sich der Anstieg fort und erreichte Anfang 2022 einen vorläufigen Höhepunkt um ~9.500 €/m². Seitdem kam es infolge gestiegener Zinsen zu einer Preiskorrektur: Bis Ende 2023 sanken die Angebotspreise auf etwa 7.550–7.700 €/m². Aktuell ist jedoch wieder eine Stabilisierung erkennbar – im 1. Quartal 2025 liegt der Durchschnittspreis bei ca. 8.200–8.300 € pro m². Somit stehen die Preise trotz des Rückgangs weiterhin deutlich über dem Niveau von 2012.
The prices per square meter in Munich are often used by buyers and owners as a reference value for property valuation. However, the average values from Munich's districts cannot be used to determine with certainty how much a specific property actually costs. This requires the experience of a long-standing market expert like Mr. Lodge, because apartments and houses are very individual and a number of value-determining factors have to be taken into account.
Nevertheless, trends can be identified in Munich that influence prices per square meter. Despite a phase of price reductions in recent years, Munich remains one of the most expensive real estate locations in Germany. Current market data shows average purchase prices of €9,191/m² for condominiums and €8,866/m² for houses - well above the national average.
For potential buyers, the average price per square meter for existing properties in Munich 2025 is around €7,500 to €8,200 per m². In sought-after districts such as Altstadt-Lehel, Maxvorstadt and Schwabing, prices will remain stable at over €10,000 / m² up to €21,500, while in outlying districts such as Trudering, Aubing or Pasing, prices per square meter between ~€7,000 and €8,200 can be realized. This means that current asking prices are roughly at the same level as last year, with slight upward fluctuations in prime locations.
For buyers, the price decline in recent years - triggered by higher interest rates and lower demand - certainly offers opportunities. Anyone buying in 2025 will find slightly cheaper offers than two years ago, as prices are around 10-20% below their former peak, depending on the segment and location. Nevertheless, the market will remain highly competitive, especially for well-located properties. However, those who can secure solid financing will find interesting entry options on the Munich real estate market in 2025.
Property owners in Munich can continue to benefit from high prices per square meter in 2025. Average prices in central locations will remain stable at over €10,000 per m², making sales values in prime locations very attractive. In districts such as Moosach or Laim, prices will remain at a high level of between ~€7,000 and €8,000 per m², depending on the quality and micro-location of the property - and can sometimes be significantly higher if it is a high-quality renovated apartment, for example.
For owners, 2025 is a good time to consider sales opportunities, as prices have stabilized again after the decline. A thorough market analysis is advisable in order to take advantage of the best sales opportunities and find the right time. Mr. Lodge achieved an average price of €10,005 per m² for condominium sales in the period May 2023 to April 2024, well above the average market values in Munich.
Anyone looking to sell a house or apartment in Munich will benefit from the development of Munich real estate prices. The most popular districts are mainly located around the city center and Munich's old town. There are nightlife options of all kinds and culinary offerings for every taste.
The city of Munich is alive and always in tune with the times - this is particularly noticeable in the districts near the historic center. Nevertheless, there are also other lucrative districts in and around Munich. Even if places like Germering, Unterhaching and Unterföhring are not at the top of the popularity scale for students, families or older students like to live in these somewhat quieter areas in the surrounding area.
Naturally, demand is also reflected in the price per square meter: the more popular the district, the higher the purchase price. As Munich real estate prices have been at record levels since 1950 and Munich is one of the most expensive cities in Germany in this respect, properties in all districts are in high demand.
If you look at rental prices for apartments at the beginning of 2025, these five districts in particular are at the top: Altstadt-Lehel, Maxvorstadt, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Schwabing (including Schwabing-West) and Au-Haidhausen. In all of these districts, net cold rents of around €27 to €29 per square meter can be expected.

The most expensive districts are now at €27-29/m², while around €20-21/m² is common in peripheral districts.
Rents also vary significantly depending on location. The average asking rent for apartments in the city is currently around €25.4 per m². The front-runner is the central district of Altstadt-Lehel, where asking rents are in some cases €27-29 per m², followed by Maxvorstadt, Au-Haidhausen and Schwabing-West in similar price regions (each around €27-29/m²). In contrast, the peripheral districts are significantly cheaper: in Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied, rents are around €20-21/m², as is the case in Allach-Untermenzing and Feldmoching-Hasenbergl. Overall, the rental price range - from under €21 to over €27 per square meter - shows the high dependency of housing costs on location in Munich.

The rise in financing costs means that many prospective property buyers are still finding it difficult to afford to buy their own home or condominium. The financial strength of potential buyers is subdued, and with it the number of purchase inquiries, although the basic demand remains strong. Accordingly, the diligence of a market expert with many years of experience, such as Mr. Lodge, is important in determining a sales price in line with the market.
The residential real estate market is on the road to recovery. The supply of condominiums for sale remains tight in the city and district of Munich compared to 2023. Due to slightly better conditions for real estate loans and more attractive purchase prices, we expect buying interest on the Munich market to continue to increase in 2025. Furnished apartments and houses remain scarce and expensive and are still very attractive as an investment opportunity. The current situation is therefore a good time for all property owners who want to sell their property - whether owner-occupied or rented out - as solid profit-taking is still possible.
With Mr. Lodge as a partner at your side, nothing stands in the way of the successful sale of your property. For more than 30 years we have been real estate agents in Munich and the surrounding area and we know the market.
When it comes to selling your property, we act routinely and proceed as follows:
First, the property is inspected. The best way to analyze the advantages and weaknesses of a property is on site. The next step is the property valuation. We determine the achievable sales price and discuss which measures could be taken to increase the revenue. You as the owner may carry out minimal modernizations that can positively influence the value. For a perfect presentation we offer home staging. This involves furnishing the empty property in a homely manner so that interested parties can experience the full potential of their future home. Studies show that this method achieves considerably better sales revenues.
As a next step, we sift through and thoroughly check the documents provided. We advise you as the owner which documents are necessary for a successful sale and obtain them on your behalf, if requested. Our commissioning is transparent and our payment is based on a performance-related commission.
Then we start to create an exposé of your property. For this purpose, our in-house team of photographers will take pictures and videos of your apartment or house. Subsequently, we create an appealing exposé, which summarizes the core data of the property and the mentioned pictures. We publish this on our homepage and on the well-known internet portals.
In the next step we think about the target group of your sale: Is it rather the young couple with children, the student, whose parents finance the apartment for their child or is it rather older people, who could be prospective buyers of the property?
Depending on the target group, we develop a suitable marketing strategy as a team. The reason being: not every channel is suitable for all interested parties. While young people are always on the move and use platforms such as TikTok or Instagram on a daily basis, this is quite different for older people. Prospective real estate buyers of a certain age use real estate portals or advertisements in established print media to find the house or apartment of their dreams. There are countless possibilities and it is vital to maximize their potential.
The next item on our agenda is marketing. We strive to match real estate buyers with properties. In order to find ideal prospective buyers for your property, we proactively compose mailings. This way, we can directly approach our extensive pool of interested parties. The chances of finding the right buyer for your house or condominium like this are quite good. In addition, we present your property on our homepage and place the advertisement on all common Internet portals. Print media and displays in our shop windows in Munich and Rottach-Egern are used as further means to generate attention. We approach potential buyers in a targeted manner and proactively search for additional interested parties. During this process you are continuously informed about the status of the marketing. We also discuss the progress of negotiations and the next steps in the sales process with you as the owner and then implement them.
Subsequently, we will arrange viewing appointments on your behalf with those who are seriously interested in buying. Of course, tenants and you as the property owner will be involved in this process. We always work hand in hand.
Furthermore, we are a competent partner when it comes to sales negotiations. We determine the conditions under which the property will ultimately change hands. We also support potential buyers in taking out mortgages.
Finally, the notarial purchase contract according to our specifications is drawn up by a notary. We discuss this in advance with you as the owner and accompany you to the notary appointment, where the sale of the property is sealed by the signature of all parties.
As a local real estate agent, we know the Munich real estate market like the back of our hand. We have a large network and therefore know all the properties on offer in the Isar metropolis. We know what type of property and which districts are currently in demand, and we provide professional support in price negotiations with prospective buyers.
With years of expertise, a very professional and multilingual team, we have a wealth of experience - also with international buyers. We understand the market and can achieve the optimal selling price for you. In doing so, we take over all tasks for you to ensure the success of your real estate sale.
Real estate prices in Munich are expected to remain at their current level in 2025. Following the significant declines of recent years, a further fall in prices is rather unlikely. Rather, market observers expect that prices in the most sought-after locations could rise slightly, while remaining stable or falling slightly in peripheral areas.
A moderate interest rate level of around 3% for property loans will not trigger a sharp jump in prices, but may stabilize demand as financing remains affordable. In sought-after districts such as Schwabing, Altstadt-Lehel and Maxvorstadt, this could lead to slight price increases of up to 2%, while prices in less central districts such as Aubing or Moosach are likely to remain largely stable.
Several factors will determine the development of real estate prices in Munich in 2025:
In 2025, buyers will still have the opportunity to purchase properties at more favorable conditions than in the years before 2022. Moderate prices can be expected, particularly in less central locations or peripheral districts, which will enable an attractive entry into the market. In prime locations, however, potential buyers should expect slight price increases.
Owners in Munich can expect prices to remain largely stable in 2025. There is an opportunity to achieve attractive sales prices in sought-after locations, while prices in peripheral districts are likely to stagnate at the current level. For owners in these areas, it could make sense to consider selling and realizing the prices.
