GREIX

Rental Price Index

The GREIX rental price index bundles asking rents from several platforms for 37 cities and districts, based on the VALUE Marktdatenbank

The page displays the standard baseline of the rent index as well as additional analyses broken down by new construction and existing stock, and by selected specialized segments. These include furnished listings with no fixed-term lease, as well as temporary offers or short-term housing.

Hedonic indices and monthly rents in euros per square meter are available on an annual, quarterly, and monthly basis. Additionally, the rent indices can be compared with the GREIX transaction price indices.

The entire dataset, as well as the comparison with GREIX data, can be downloaded as an Excel file. Using the “Share & Download” button, you can download and embed filtered charts and their underlying data.

FAQs and documentation provide background information on the data source, methodology, and interpretation.

Regular Rental Listings

Regular rental listings form the baseline of the GREIX Rental Price Index. They show the trend in asking rents for apartments that are not classified as temporary housing or as furnished, open-ended leases—two special segments. New construction and existing stock are not reported separately in this baseline. However, when compiling the indices, this characteristic is taken into account, as described in the documentation.

New Construction and Existing Buildings

The breakdown by new construction and existing properties distinguishes rental listings based on whether the property is a new construction. Properties are considered new construction if they were built no more than three years prior to the respective marketing year.
The distinction is deliberately not made based on the term “first occupancy.” A property may be considered “first occupancy” even after a comprehensive renovation or complete overhaul and would therefore not necessarily describe a newly built property.
