In Frankfurt, the individual segments of the residential real estate market developed differently in 2025: While the housing market gained momentum, demand for condominiums remained subdued overall. This is shown by a recent analysis by the premium real estate agent DAHLER. The evaluated data come from the Frankfurt expert committee. Sales of condominiums with prices per square metre starting at €4,000 and of houses (detached and semi-detached houses, semi-detached and terraced houses) with purchase prices of €500,000 or more were taken into account.
While the number of transactions on the Frankfurt housing market had still risen in 2024, there was less momentum in 2025: a total of around 1,370 condominiums were sold, which corresponds to a decline of 12.2% compared to the previous year (2024: 1,560). On average, buyers paid €518,610 for their apartment and the average price per square metre was €6,869. The total turnover realised with this amounted to € 710.5 million.
In contrast to the housing market, the trend of the previous year continued for Frankfurt houses in 2025: With around 290 houses sold, data from the Frankfurt Valuation Committee show an increase in transactions of around 11.5% compared to the previous year's level (2024: 261). Total revenue in this segment was €297.1 million and the average purchase price was €1.02 million.
Mixed development in the premium segment: Decline in transactions in the residential market – increase in houses
In the Frankfurt premium segment, which includes condominiums with prices per square metre from €10,000 and houses with purchase prices from €1 million, there is a similar development to the respective overall markets.
A total of 81 condominiums were sold in the premium segment, which corresponds to a decrease of 27% compared to the previous year's level (2024: 111). The highest price per square metre was €29,554 and the highest individual sales price was €6.89 million – both prices were called up in the Westend-Nord district.
The Frankfurt premium house segment also reflects the development of the entire housing market. 84 houses had a purchase price of €1 million or more, which corresponds to an increase of 10.5% compared to the previous year (2024: 75). Of these houses, 25 properties cost more than €2 million. The highest purchase price of €8.5 million was achieved in the Sachsenhausen-Süd district.
"The development of Frankfurt's residential real estate market in 2025 was not uniform, but shows clear differences between the segments. While the market for condominiums remains declining overall and is recording fewer deals, especially in the mid-price segment, only some price ranges remain stable. The housing market, on the other hand, is developing much more dynamically: Here, the number of transactions is rising again across all price ranges. This development shows that buyers with secured financing are increasingly active again, while price- and interest-rate-sensitive buyers in the housing market continue to act cautiously. At the same time, very high top prices continue to be achieved in sought-after districts, which underlines the structurally high demand for housing in Frankfurt. Especially in the last quarter of 2025, an increase in demand was noticeable. Nevertheless, the decisive factor for further market development will be whether the scarce supply in central locations can be offset by further new construction impulses," says Tobias Ewald, Managing Director at DAHLER Frankfurt am Main.
The development by price per square metre makes it clear that Frankfurt's condominium market in 2025 does not show a uniform picture. While the number of sales of apartments from €10,000/m² fell most sharply with a drop of 27%, the segment between €4,000 and €5,999/m² recorded the highest absolute decline in transactions. In the previous year, 620 properties were sold in the latter price range, and in 2025 there were a total of 520 – a decrease of 16% compared to 2024. Only apartments with prices per square metre between €8,000 and €9,999 bucked the trend and increased by around 5% to 188 sales (2024: 179).
