The Augsburg market
Augsburg has been classified as a tight housing market since 2016 and remains covered by the Bavarian Mieterschutzverordnung, renewed effective 1 January 2026 (valid to 31 December 2029, 285 municipalities): the Mietpreisbremse caps new-lease rents at 10% above the local comparative rent and the Kappungsgrenze limits existing-lease increases to 15% within three years (justiz.bayern.de, 2025). The official Mietspiegel 2025 puts the average existing-contract net cold rent at 9.80 EUR/m2, up 5.3% versus 2023, well below asking rents of about 14-15 EUR/m2, which signals reversion upside on regulated in-place rents. Transaction activity is recovering: the Gutachterausschuss recorded 3,475 notarised purchase contracts in 2025 (+14% YoY) and citywide turnover of 1.308 billion EUR, with median condo resale prices up 6.2% YoY but still roughly 16% below the 2022 peak. Demand is supported by a stable, slightly growing population (303,677 at end-2025), the University of Augsburg and university hospital, and proximity to Munich (roughly 30-45 minutes by rail), which produces commuter spillover demand; gross yields of around 3.9-4.1% on asking data sit above Munich levels at roughly half Munich's price per square metre.
