FRANKFURT (Reuters) -German residential property prices rose 3.8% in the first quarter of 2025 from a year earlier, a second consecutive rise after a period of steep declines during a nationwide real-estate slump, federal statistics office data showed on Tuesday.
After more than a decade of increases, home prices began to drop in 2022 after the European Central Bank began a rapid increase in interest rates to curb rampant inflation, sparking Germany’s worst real-estate crisis in decades.
