The Münster market
The Mietpreisbremse applies in Münster: the city is listed as a tight housing market in the NRW Mieterschutzverordnung since 1 March 2025, capping new-contract rents at 10% above the local reference rent (extended to 31.12.2029; the 15%-in-3-years cap on existing rents runs to 28.02.2030, and an 8-year protection period applies after condo conversion). Vacancy is structurally near zero, 0.2% market-active vacancy in 2024 per CBRE-empirica, among the lowest in Germany, driven by roughly 56,000 students at the University and FH Münster alone (WS 2024/25; ~65,000 across all nine higher-education institutions). The Gutachterausschuss recorded a decade-high ~2,900 purchase contracts and ~EUR 1.5bn transaction volume in 2025, with condo prices up ~4% to ~EUR 4,000/m² while portal asking prices run ~EUR 4,500–4,900/m². Supply remains constrained; major new supply comes mainly from the Oxford (Gievenbeck) and York (Gremmendorf) barracks conversions with ~3,000 planned units. Gross yields are correspondingly low (~3.3% on asking prices, ~4.0% on transaction prices), typical of a low-risk German university city.
