The Bremen market

Bremen re-tightened rent regulation: the Mietpreisbremse (Mietenbegrenzungsverordnung of 18 Nov 2025) applies in the city of Bremen (not Bremerhaven) from 1 Dec 2025 to 31 Dec 2029, capping re-letting rents at 10% above the local comparative rent, alongside a reduced Kappungsgrenze of 15% in three years and a qualified Mietspiegel since 01.01.2024 (senatspressestelle.bremen.de; haufe.de). Supply is thin: only 39 new-build condo first sales were recorded in 2024 while transaction counts rebounded (+12.8% contracts, Gutachterausschuss 2025). Demand is driven by the University of Bremen and Hochschule (~40,000 students combined), the aerospace cluster (Airbus, OHB, Ariane), the Mercedes-Benz plant, and port/logistics industries, plus the Überseestadt waterfront development. With asking prices ~2,900 EUR/m2 (verified resale transactions nearer 2,350) against rents above 10 EUR/m2, gross yields of ~4-5% are achievable: higher in western districts like Gröpelingen or Walle.
