The empirica housing bubble index indicates that the risk of a housing market bubble in Germany is decreasing. In recent quarters, there has been a change: there are fewer and fewer vulnerable districts. The danger is still there, but its extent is getting smaller. The number of endangered regions has been falling for three quarters in a row.

The empirica housing price index continues to show a trend of declining purchase prices for condominiums and single- or two-family houses, while the indices for rental apartments continue to rise. For newly built condominiums, the indices stabilize with an increase of 0.2% compared to the previous quarter. In contrast, the indices for newly built detached and semi-detached houses continue to decline (-0.9%). The increase in newly built rental apartments amounts to 1.2% this quarter.

In the housing policy debate around new housing, immigration, shortage of housing and urban sprawl, the issue of vacancy rarely plays a role. The vacancy rate offers important insight into the state of housing shortage in individual regions. However, a generalised view of the data alone does not help in the analysis of vacancy figures. The mutual interactions are far too complex, for example, when it comes to the regionally very different imbalance between supply and demand or migration movements from the A and B cities to more rural areas.

The last few quarters have shown a noteworthy development on the real estate market. The indices for owner-occupied flats and detached or semi-detached houses have already fallen for the fourth quarter in a row, while rented flats recorded an increase of 1.1% compared to the previous quarter.
