82 cities, each with its own transfer tax

Grunderwerbsteuer is state law — the same apartment costs a different surcharge in Munich and Cologne. Every city carries buy and rent anchors plus its local rate.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits cap at three months’ cold rent (§551 BGB) and must sit on a separate savings account.
  • Mietpreisbremse caps new leases above local comparative rent in tight areas; Berlin’s Mietspiegel sets the benchmark.
  • Modernization may be passed on at 8% of cost per year (§559 BGB) — check the Anpassung history before you underwrite.

Qualitative anchors only — live numbers come from the official city Mietspiegel, never a hardcoded table.

The local numbers first: buy level around €2,100/m², cold rent around €6.8/m² — roughly a 3.9% gross yield before costs. Brandenburg charges 6.5% Grunderwerbsteuer, so a €500,000 purchase adds about €42,500 in transfer tax, notary and Grundbuch before any agent fee.

Listings are added as verified local agents join, under the same rules as the Georgia marketplace — this page is the orientation layer with real anchors, not scraped doorway text.
