The Stuttgart market
Stuttgart is classified as a tight housing market: the Mietpreisbremse (new leases capped at 10% above the local comparative rent) continues to apply, Baden-Württemberg extended it by ordinance of December 2025 (GBl. 2025 No. 144, 19.12.2025) until end-2026 and expanded coverage from 89 to 130 municipalities (https://mlw.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/bauen-wohnen/wohnungsbau/mietpreisbremse). The qualified Mietspiegel 2025/2026 anchors in-tenancy rent increases. Supply is structurally scarce: market-active vacancy around 0.5% and few new-build transactions (161 new condos sold in 2025), while sales activity is recovering (+10% to 5,389 transactions, EUR 2.88bn turnover per Gutachterausschuss). Demand is carried by the strong regional economy (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch, Mahle and numerous suppliers), even though the population dipped slightly to 605,663 in 2025. After the 2022-2024 price correction (-16.6% over 5 years for condos per immowelt), purchase prices have moved sideways since 2025 while asking rents keep rising, producing gross yields of roughly 4.4-4.7%, well above pre-rate-hike levels.
