Real Estate in Kassel are in greater demand than ever

More and more people want to buy a house in Kassel or condo. Provided that the property has the correct position. Preferred approach remains the districts Chassalla are Brasselsberg, Harleshausen, Kirchditmold, the Middle West, Wehlheiden that Auefeld, but also middle.

"The demand is good and the very tight supply," says Siegfried plaster, spokesman for the Realtor's Association IVD in the region together. Putz and his colleague Gerhard broker Kroeger attribute the increased demand on the positive developments in the labor market in Kassel. "That's the clincher," says Kroeger, and counts on SMA, VW, and the university as a major employer.

It adds the financial crisis: who invests his money trust, rather than on concrete gold stocks, says Putz. Accordingly, the number of customers has grown with him at ten to 15 percent. The increased demand has also led to a price rise, says Putz. He believes that real estate in a good location since the end of 2010 an average of three to four percent have become more expensive. Despite the high demand and relatively low supply of the customers are still choosy. They are willing to spend more money for a good location.

Besides the popular districts of Kassel, demand is also in affluent suburbs, such as for example increased Niestetal and Baunatal, says Kroeger. However, it is difficult, for example, to sell real estate in Helsa. The low interest rates also moved many people to buy a home now.

"We have a good time for buyers and sellers," says Siegfried plaster, press officer of the brokerage association in the region, Kassel about the real estate market. Who now wants to sell his condo or house to be in a good location, the prices could mean more than just a one to two years to achieve. Prices had risen on average by a moderate three to four percent. Had had to pay you for a well-restored old building two years ago at the 1200 € per square meter, we now expect a price per square meter 1200-1500 €, says Putz. For new homes would now require € 2000-2500, says the broker.

States such as Frankfurt or Munich buyer would not worry. "We are still at a low price level has gone up slightly." Despite the slight increase in housing prices, he could only advise buyers to buy because of low interest rates, now an apartment or house. "The situation on the real estate market has stabilized," says Gerhard broker Kroeger. He warns, however, to speak of a boom. In Kassel, real estate is not only normal demand. Too expensive villas, which are a million euros and cost more popular, says Putz.

The offer in this area is very small. Generally, there is currently little real estate. "Every broker is currently looking for salable items," says Shine. This experience also make the real estate departments of financial institutions. "The current demand is offset by a tight supply, both in single-family homes as well as investment properties," says Christina Hackenberg, spokeswoman for Bank of Kassel. After years of stagnation, the Real Estate Record at the Kassel Savings Bank since 2010 an increasing demand for owner-occupied properties and investment properties, said spokesman Michael Krath.

A key factor in the price of the property is also adjacent to the location of a building energy standard. Properties were strongest in the western districts of Kassel asked Putz says. However, it is still difficult to sell homes in the northern city. However, he could imagine that would sell 100 condominiums in a mid-price segment of the building quite Salzmann (HNA reported on the idea). "In Bettenhausen the necessary infrastructure is in place."
