Buying property in Haidhausen: Prices per square metre & rental yields

You would like to buy a house in Haidhausen? Then we recommend the districts of Grünwald, Tegernsee or Starnberger See. Somewhat larger properties such as villas, bungalows and the like are a real rarity in densely populated Haidhausen and are more likely to be found away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Instead, apartments are in high demand here. And here, too, you can count yourself among the lucky few if you get hold of a new-build apartment with a terrace.

Most popular property type: Apartments

So you want to invest in a property in Haidhausen as a capital investment? You want to rent an apartment, or maybe even buy an apartment building to rent it out lucratively? Here is all the information you need about prices per square metre and rental yields!

Buying an apartment: Old building & new building in comparison

As a coveted residence of the upper middle class, apartments in Haidhausen are particularly popular. Here, prices have risen extremely in recent years. Here’s a comparison: while apartments cost just under €2,900 per square metre ten years ago, five years later the price per square metre had already risen to €5,700. That is a price increase of 50%! Depending on the location and year of construction, you can currently expect prices per square metre of between almost 7,000 euros and 12,000 euros.

Within 5 years a price increase of 50%

Exact prices per square metre depending on location and year of construction can be found here:

  • Existing apartment in the north: 8,100 euros per square metre
  • Existing apartment in the south: 6,600 euros per square metre
  • Newly built apartment in the north and south: 12,300 euros per square metre

Renting a plot of land: Rental prices & rental yield

You don’t want to buy a property, but rather rent a house or an apartment? While the location and year of construction make a considerable difference to prices when buying a property, there is hardly any difference when it comes to rental prices. Here, a new-build property costs an average of 20 euros per square metre, an existing property 18 to 19.

All figures at a glance:

  • Existing property: 18-19 euros per square metre
  • New build property: 20 euros per square metre
  • Precious old apartments (rarity): up to 27 euros per square metre

It’s striking: While purchase prices have almost doubled in recent years, the same is not true for rents. So in terms of rental yields, you can only assume a gross rental yield of 3 per cent. In the north of the district, the figure is as low as two percent.
