Properties for Sale and Rent in Cologne

Whether a stately Villa in Marienburg or the spacious bungalow on a park estate in Hahnwald - Whether a charming townhouse in Auenviertel or an apartment in the heart Bayenthals - there is something for every taste. The best shopping facilities can be found in the Rodenkirchener "village", or the shops around the Goltsteinforum in Bayenthal. The Rhine, with its pastures, is an added attraction of the Cologne south.

Germany´s housing market price rises have been accelerating for several months. In a country where the housing market has historically been extraordinarily stable, this is a significant shift. The reasons? Strong economic growth, 1.1 million refugees, high work-related immigration, weak construction supply and low interest rates.

The German hedonic price index rose by 8% (7.6% inflation-adjusted) during the year to August 2016 (hedonic indices attempt to compare like-for-like exactly, so are the best measure of house price trends). This is up from a 5.8% rise (5.6% inflation-adjusted) during the same period the previous year, based on Europace figures.

Apartment prices rose 9.6% y-o-y (9.2% inflation-adjusted), compared to the 5.4% y-o-y (5.2% inflation-adjusted) growth during the same period last year.
