Apartment building in Berlin – numbers say more than a thousand words!

How big do you think the price difference will be if you buy an apartment building in 2025?

Price comparison! Apartment building in Berlin, Wuppertal or the countryside?

Location is known to be a decisive factor in real estate valuation. Both the macro-location (regional and city-wide factors such as economic situation, infrastructure and development prospects) and the micro-location (immediate surroundings of the property, neighborhood, access to public transport) are taken into account.

Here is a quick offer check on ImmoScout24:

• Wusterhausen/Dosse (Brandenburg) – € 128,000 for 305 m² living space – C-location

Berlin and Wusterhausen are about 100 km apart, yet the purchase price differs by a factor of ~ 10. These drastic price differences illustrate the enormous impact that location has on real estate value.

Let’s take a closer look at the cities:

Apartment building in Berlin: € 1.15 million

As the capital and economic center, Berlin offers a lively cultural scene, high demand for living space and a strong economy. These factors make real estate in Berlin very attractive for investors, which is reflected in the higher prices. This is how much an apartment building in Berlin costs – the small version.

Apartment building in Wuppertal: € 629,000

Wuppertal, a city in the Ruhr region, is characterized by a solid infrastructure and a comparatively lower cost of living. Although Wuppertal does not have the same economic weight as Berlin, it still offers attractive real estate opportunities at more affordable prices.

Apartment building in Wusterhausen: € 128,000

Wusterhausen/Dosse, on the other hand, is an example of a more rural region. The cost of living is lower here and property prices are correspondingly more affordable. However, you have to accept compromises in terms of infrastructure and job opportunities.

Effect of the real estate situation

It turns out that the location of a property not only determines the price, but also the potential increase in value. A careful analysis of the location is therefore essential, whether buying, selling or investing in apartment buildings.
