Housing stock in Saxony-Anhalt: Over 1.2 million reached!
In 2024, a new milestone in housing construction was reached in Saxony-Anhalt. A total of 1,268,841 apartments were registered at the end of the year. These include 1,240,308 apartments in residential buildings and 28,533 in non-residential buildings, as reported by hallanzeiger.de, among others. This increase of 2,539 apartments - 0.2% more than last year - shows that there is some growth despite challenges in the construction sector.
The main contributors to this were the completion of 2,952 new apartments and 385 additional apartments through construction work on existing buildings. However, there were also 798 total losses due to the demolition or complete abandonment of apartments. The central question that many people ask: What is the housing situation like in the largest cities? There is a fairly stable housing market in Magdeburg, with 148,360 apartments, and Halle (Saale), where 144,601 apartments are registered.
Living in the cities
The housing density, i.e. the number of apartments per 1,000 inhabitants, varies in Saxony-Anhalt. For example, Magdeburg has 607 apartments per 1,000 inhabitants (31st place in the comparison) and Halle (Saale) takes 15th place with 638 apartments per 1,000 inhabitants. The municipality of Völpke in the Börde district is particularly interesting. With 798 available apartments and only 1,093 residents, it reaches a peak of 730 apartments per 1,000 residents - a true paradise for apartment hunters.
This information comes from, among others, kompakt.media, which deals intensively with the growing housing stock. Given the increasing demand and growing population in some regions, it will be important to also adapt the infrastructure to housing construction.
The challenge of living
The official statistics in Germany provide comprehensive data on the subject of housing. Among other things, the number of apartments is recorded over time and various aspects such as rent burdens and living space per person are considered, as the statistics from destatis.de show. Developments in housing construction and the static background make it clear that there can be a suitable solution for every household - although not without challenges.
In summary, housing construction in Saxony-Anhalt grew last year despite occasional setbacks. With a solid foundation of available apartments, it is to be hoped that the regional housing situation will remain stable in the future and new incentives will be created for buildings and developments.
