Homes For Sale in Berlin Market Report
Berlin sellers have certainly been aggressive - and patient - this year. And that combination has paid off.
Can’t see the chart? You can find it Here .
We see a big jump in prices, and it all happened very fast, with 16 of the the past 18 sales 3 months - just 2 sales in the previous 3 months. As a result, we see prices rebounding near their all-time high. The existing sellers aren't shy either, asking even more - $176 a square foot. On the downside though, we see inventory clearly building going into August, so I expect price changes for motivated sellers in the near term. The increase in inventory is the main reason the HSI has fallen under 110, and we're back to a pretty neutral market statistically, but seasonal patterns do not favor the sellers here.
What should active home buyers do in Berlin?
The good stuff is gone, and the prices are probably a little high for what is left. Be patient and smart - prices look like there will be a pull back, and that should restore some value for buyers.
What should potential home sellers do in Berlin?
Demand is good, but make sure your home is price right and showing well. If you haven't sold in the last three months, don't blame the market - the problem is how your home is positioned.
