Insider Buy: Steven Wilderspin grabs 6,500 shares of Phoenix Spree

An exciting event in the stock market took place on Friday, October 3rd: Steven Wilderspin, an insider from Phoenix Spree Germany Limited, acquired 6,500 shares at an average price of GBX 166 each. The total value of this transaction is £10,790. At the same time, the Phoenix Spree Deutschland share price rose by GBX 0.75 and was at GBX 163.25 at the end of trading. This highlights the flurry of activity surrounding the company, which now has a market capitalization of £149.77 million.

The development of Phoenix Spree Deutschland shares is a sign of trust in the investment company, which specializes in long-term investments in Berlin rental properties. This strategy aims to improve the quality of living for tenants. Founded in 2007, the company has built a remarkable portfolio of properties over the past 13 years, promising potentially stable income and capital growth, as highlighted on their website.

Market development in the real estate sector

But it's not just Phoenix Spree Germany that's on the move. The real estate market in Germany is also showing some exciting developments. The transaction volume for portfolios rose by around 26 percent to 5.3 billion euros in the first half of 2025. This is a positive trend that is primarily driven by increased momentum in the Living segment, where more than half of all portfolio deals were for residential products. In comparison, the transaction volume of individual properties fell by more than 11 percent to 10 billion euros, with the seven largest real estate hotspots, which include Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart, together attracting around 5.9 billion euros in investment, a decline of 29 percent compared to the previous year.

Berlin remains the most active market with 1.93 billion euros, although there was a decline of 45 percent. Hamburg, on the other hand, saw an increase of 42 percent to 1 billion euros. Stuttgart also showed positive developments. Munich, on the other hand, only had 990 million euros, which represents a decline of more than 44 percent compared to the previous year. These figures show that although the real estate market is under pressure, it still has potential, particularly in the residential property sector.

Outlook for future development

Market dynamics are a mix of challenges and opportunities. The share of the seven metropolises in the total transaction volume fell from over 50 percent in 2024 to 39 percent in the first half of 2025. However, the below-average value in a ten-year comparison is not due to a lack of attractiveness, but rather to the shortage of core products. Investors diving into the real estate sector must therefore act smartly to capitalize on the best opportunities.

In view of the recent developments in Phoenix Spree Germany and the general market development, it might be worth taking a closer look at the opportunities in Berlin's residential real estate sector.
