WIRO: Rostock's housing market is flourishing - 500 new apartments are being planned!
There are currently exciting things to report in Rostock! WIRO, the city's largest housing company, has presented a positive balance sheet for 2024. The annual surplus is 24.13 million euros, which represents a slight decrease compared to 2023, when 24.84 million euros were generated. But despite this small return to the numbers, the city of Rostock can look forward to a distribution of 16.52 million euros from the balance sheet profit, more than the previous year with 16.39 million euros. This is a good sign for municipal finances and shows that WIRO is operating stably in the market.
The population in Rostock has just increased to 211,993 people, compared to 211,692 the previous year. This is not just a mere number, but also an indication that the influx into the city and the desire for living space are unbroken. Apartments are in demand, and this is also reflected in the current rental prices: the average basic rent is now 6.54 euros per square meter and therefore higher than in 2023, when you still paid 6.32 euros. If you rent a 60 square meter apartment, you have to expect a net rent of around 392 euros.
Growth and new buildings
In view of these developments, WIRO is taking big steps into the future. A whopping 370 new apartments were rented for the first time in 2024 and a total of almost 600 new buildings were built in the last five years. A look at the largest construction projects shows that there was a lot of construction on both Thierfelderstrasse/Kobertstrasse and Möllner Strasse/Plöner Strasse. But that is not the last word: future projects, for example on Ziolkowskistrasse or on Reutershäger Weg, are already in the starting blocks.
In addition, WIRO is planning 500 new apartments through its own construction projects and 700 apartments in the Werftdreieck district. Another promising project is the purchase of turnkey projects, which will expand the portfolio by around 270 apartments. So demand is high, and WIRO's plans underline that.
Market analysis and prices
Rental prices in Rostock are not only a result of company policy, but also influenced by the relationship between supply and demand on the housing market. Particularly in metropolitan areas, demand is often so high that rents rise. The simultaneous economic development of the region, the good infrastructure and the attractive job opportunities reinforce this trend, as the rent index from Engel & Völkers also explains. Political measures such as rent controls can also influence rental price developments in Rostock, and this year the fluctuation rate has also been kept constant at 8.52%.
There are numerous options for everyone who would like to find out about new rental offers in Rostock. On platforms like ImmobilienScout24 you can get an overview of new apartments and follow the current housing trends. With a vacancy rate of just 0.85%, the market shows high demand, which is reflected in both the prices and the construction projects.
In summary, Rostock is dynamic in terms of the housing market. It will be exciting to see where developments go. WIRO masters its challenges with flying colors and is an interesting and stable partner for both tenants and investors.
