Living in Potsdam: narrow market with space in the surrounding area

In Potsdam, the housing market remains tight, but at the same time prices differ greatly: maximum values in Berliner Vorstadt, Jägervorstadt and the waterfront locations are offset by more favourable levels in Satzkorn, Uetz-Paar and Grube; overall, market activity is stabilizing again. New projects such as the ParkVillen am Volkspark (completion by 2028, apartment prices 6,900–8,900 €/m²) and a family quarter in Beelitz expand the offer. From 2027, the development of the Kirchsteigfeld with around 1,000 apartments could bring additional relief.
