Every boom has come to an end, and the real estate market could soon be there. The purchase prices for houses and apartments in Germany have been rising for years. In the big cities in particular, the prices for condominiums are faster than rents. It should be clear to many that this cannot go on forever. The Bundesbank has been warning of price exaggerations for a long time, and the currently rising interest rates also show that financing will not be cheap forever. But economists at Deutsche Bank Research have now calculated when they think the current price cycle in German cities will come to an end. The dates are not in the too distant future.
