Investment details • A booming economy and continued population growth remain the primary demand drivers of the Berlin housing market. Between 2006 and 2016 Berlin’s population grew by over 320,000 and it is forecast to rise by another 200,000 by 2030. • Berlin’s construction activity has been slow to react to the city’s sharp population growth. This has led to the housing market being structurally under- supplied, with only 15,670 apartments completed in 2017, and an increasing backlog of at least 84,000 units. • The profoundly low levels of supply and increasingly high levels of demand have put pressure on Berlin’s sales and rental markets, both of which have seen consistent growth in recent years.
