Press & Newsroom: German Flatshare and Rental Market Data

Market analyses, citable data and background information on Germany's flatshare and rental markets.

91ÊÓƵ monitors Germany's flatshare and rental markets using millions of flatshare room and apartment listings as well as anonymised usage data. This provides current insights into rent levels, market trends, supply, demand and search behaviour in the flatshare market.

Flatshare rooms and the student housing market are a particular focus of our analyses. At the same time, our data provides insights into other types of housing, including furnished accommodation and small apartments.

Our Press & Newsroom brings together current market analyses, background information and housing data on flatshares, student housing and Germany's wider rental market. It serves as a central resource for journalists, media organisations and researchers covering housing costs, rent trends and market developments in Germany.
