Berlin’s rental market has experienced a steady increase over the past 3 months, with average asking rents rising by approximately 1.5–2.5% since Q2 2025. This increase is primarily fueled by persistent housing shortages and growing demand from both local residents and international newcomers. Contributing factors include a limited supply of new housing, ongoing urban migration, and intensified competition for apartments in central locations. As of Q3 2025, the average cold rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Berlin is approximately €1,390 per month representing about a 10–15% increase compared to Q2 2025.
