Berlin is fully rented. Who has an apartment, pull a: Because Rents and purchase prices are on the rise with “maximum speed” as the housing market report Berlin’s development Bank, IBB. Who rented an apartment a few years ago, can worsen therefore. For the economic and social development of the city, this is devastating.
“The internal migration in Berlin has fallen to eight percent,” says Arnt von Bodelschwingh. He has written with his company Regio in the context of the report on the housing market, and sees this figure with concern. Simply put, it provides information about the willingness of Berlin, within the city move. This is decreased by the shortage of housing dramatically. Families whose children move to the Study to continue and less space need, not to pull, because smaller apartments would cost more to rent. The same applies for seniors.
The conversion of rental housing into ownership has exacerbated the Situation
Therefore, couples can expect in a two-room-apartment and Junior find, again, no Alternative with an additional children’s room.
the housing shortage is Exacerbated in addition, the conversion of rental housing into ownership. Of 16,000 dwellings within a year, the owners of privatized in this way. Prevent the areas not even the designation of ever larger Parts of the city in “environment protection”: 56 areas of it are now, with 450,000 homes, where 850,000 people live in. Nevertheless, 100,000 apartments have been converted in the past ten years in the property.
“That takes place where you least expect it,” says Bodelschwingh. In Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf approximately. Often, there are heirs of homeowners who do not want to deal with the management and the ownership of the land silver. This is a problem according to the researcher, especially because of the enormous purchase prices for condominiums in Berlin.
Who will pay more than 4500 Euro per square meter, had to demand the high Rents of to the to 17 euros per square metre, so that the new property is not a subsidy to business. Because the temptation is great to want to Altmieter with cheap leases to somehow get rid of, to renovate luxurious and the apartment is furnished, maybe even on one of the Online portals, bypassing the rental price brake.
Berlin hardly ever loses population through Emigration
the Berlin-based Seek, therefore, increasingly apartments outside the city – after all, Berlin is losing many residents to the surrounding area? “11,000 of Fort trains are not for a city of 3.5 million inhabitants is really a lot,” says the researcher. No comparison with the time shortly after the turning. Since the Berlin discovered the surrounding area, moved to Kleinmachnow and Potsdam, up to 30,000 in the year. Especially Spandau or also the today’s hip Neukölln at the time bleeding literally. The housing shortage was at that time in Berlin.
Today, Potsdam is at most a few, higher-pay is an Option. The state capital is also a big influx of: research institutions and University to attract qualified people from abroad. Two-thirds of the population growth come not from Berlin, but from the US, Spain, and the surrounding areas. And Potsdam to pry against the housing shortage, is a city with the “strongest construction intensity” across the country at all, says researcher Bodelschwingh.
