According to Savills, around 311 million euros were turned over in the Düsseldorf real estate investment market in the 1st quarter of 2026. Compared to the same period last year, this corresponds to an increase of 58%. Compared to the 10-year average, the volume was 46% lower. In the last twelve months, Savills has registered about 25 transactions, which is a 34% year-on-year decline. Prime yields for offices and commercial buildings were 4.5% and 4.4% respectively at the end of April, unchanged from the previous quarter and also unchanged from the previous year’s figure.
Stefan Mellies, Director Investment at Savills in Düsseldorf, comments on market developments as follows: “Even if this has not yet been reflected in sales, we are observing increasing activity in the Düsseldorf investment market. More and more properties are being offered for sale, which means that more movement is expected for the rest of the year than last year. Market sentiment has become noticeably more pragmatic and realistic – even if the price expectations do not always match, the willingness to talk has increased on both sides of the negotiating table. This creates a basis for more closings, even though transactions have become more complex and require correspondingly more time.”
With a transaction volume of EUR 240 million, office properties have contributed the most to investment turnover in the last twelve months, followed by residential properties* (approx. EUR 220 million) and retail properties (approx. EUR 210 million).
