Housing market between population growth and limited supply
For 2026, the monitor continues to expect insufficient growth in the housing stock. The increased number of building applications and building permits since 2024 indicates that the housing stock should grow more strongly again from 2027. However, a rapid easing of the housing market is not in sight. For existing tenancies, low interest rates and low inflation in 2026 are keeping rents largely stable. Further rent increases are expected, however, for newly rented homes.
