In the heart of East Berlin, once famous for its grafitti covered squats and prefabricated Soviet style cement blocks, luxury lofts with swimming pools, spas and concierge services are indications of a new trend. The marketing seems to tick all the right boxes. With names like Fellini and Oxford, these luxury developments have asking prices of €10,000 a square metre, more than double the cost of similar property in Berlin two years ago. But analysts are unsure where this surge will go. The property market in Berlin has confounded investors since the Berlin Wall came down 20 years ago. While property prices in other European capitals like Madrid, London and Paris, soared, Berlin prices stayed low. German cities are outperforming average national property price growth and becoming increasingly attractive to foreign investors looking for longer term investments, it is claimed. Germany is emerging as a prime target for property investors because of its robust economic growth and less volatile property prices, according to the latest analysis. German real estate executives and analysts say buyers have been on hold awaiting a further slide in prices while sellers have stayed on the sidelines hoping that prices would return to the levels seen in late 2006 and early 2007. |
