Sharp rise in rents in peripheral areas
                                                  For the year as a whole, the median rent increased by just
                                                  under 8.0% across all segments and years of construction,
                                                  to reach €11.65/sqm/month by mid-2018. Rents in the lower
                                                  price segments rose, especially in peripheral locations, due
Distribution of rental listings by price group    to the shortage of housing across the city. The decentralised
                                                  districts of Pankow and Marzahn-Hellersdorf recorded the
                                                  strongest annual growth of around 13% and 12% respec-

                                                  berg and Neukölln districts show very high growth rates of
                                                  approximately 23.5% and 16% respectively. Here, demand
                                                  vastly outstrips the supply of new apartments due to the lack
                                                  of available building land. Conversely, the average rent for
                                                  new apartments in Mitte is stagnating at €17.05/sqm/month.
                                                  Around 22% more apartments were advertised on the
                                                  market between the first half of 2017 and the first half of
                                                  2018. Although most asking rents continued to range from
                                                  €11.00-13.00/sqm in the first half of 2018, the number of

                                                  doubled in the respective price segment. However, rental
                                                  offers in the lower price segments (up to €9.00/sqm/month)
