The question of what will be better in 2024 for everyone who was looking for a new apartment is quickly answered: nothing. On the contrary. It was not a pessimism that real estate economists and construction experts had expected and tenant advocates had feared. Even fewer apartments and houses have been built this year than in 2023 because the costs are still too high and the uncertainties are too great for private and professional builders. As if that weren't enough, the number of building permits is also continuously declining. That is why the assumption that the asking rents for new and existing apartments are constantly rising has been fulfilled.
