Zum Thema der angeblichen "Immobilienblase" in Berlin aus der heutigen Financial Times:
"Berlins growing tech scene is only one reason for the citys appeal to émigré Londoners. The other is property prices that are a fraction of those in the UK capital. According to Savills, average prices for prime Berlin homes are 5,480 per sq metre; in London it is 14,100 per sq metre, rising to 23,400 in central London.
Berlin property may not remain a bargain for long, however. Knight Frank estimates prime prices gained 9 per cent in the year to December 2016 and 31 per cent in the three years to then.
Recent price inflation is partly due to a shortage of supply. Until 2008 Berlin was characterised by empty apartments, says Zeller. The city authorities responded by cutting back on their building projects; there was a virtual standstill in publicly funded buildings until 2012, he says.
Today, this approach looks short-sighted. By September 2015, roughly 40,000 people were arriving in Berlin every year, according to Ziegert, a Berlin estate agent. Professor Michael Voigtländer, of the Cologne Institute for Economic Research, estimates demand for living space will grow a further 15 per cent between 2012 and 2030."
