Now is time to invest in german student market, says savills

The “undervalued” German student market is ripe for investment according to global agency Savills.

Research conducted by Savills found that in the last ten years the number of students in Germany has increased by roughly 18% to over 2.1 million. And currently, there are only 181,000 places available in publicly funded halls of residence.

The Savills’ survey looked at German cities with at least 10,000 students. It applied four indicators – market size, supply of halls, apartment vacancy rate and income burden - to measure the status quo, and five others – market attractiveness, demand trends, demand projection population projection and economic prosperity – to measure market dynamics.
