Apartment seekers in eastern Germany sometimes have less choice on major real estate portals. In May 2024, around ten percent fewer rental apartments were advertised on the classifieds platform in eastern German states other than Berlin than a year earlier, according to an analysis obtained by Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
According to the report, the decline in Saxony to 6018 apartments and Saxony-Anhalt to 2993 apartments was particularly significant - a drop of almost 13 percent in each case. Thuringia and Brandenburg both saw a decline of around nine percent, while the platform recorded a drop of one percent in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
