The city wide increase was 11.7 per cent year-on-year. In some locations the asking prices detached themselves from the development of the rent.This is historically an unsusual development and indicates the catch-up process Berlin is undergoing in comparison to other European capitals.

Analysts are coming up with various explanations: Low interest rates, population growth combined with a lack of sufficient new building activities, lack of low risk investment alternatives.
