Baden-Baden suffers: hundreds of apartments are empty!

Hundreds of apartments and villas are empty in downtown Baden-Baden, which raises worrying questions about the current building policy. According to information from Goodnews4 , these properties are not used as holiday apartments. Rather, they serve primarily as a safe investment, which significantly limits the use as a living space.

The streets Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße and Annaberg are particularly affected. The first mayor Alexander Wieland said that there is no data collection for the number of vacant living space in these areas, which also complicated the situation. The ignorance of the actual scope of the vacancies could have a long -term negative effects on urban development.

investments and vacancies

The problem of vacancies is reinforced by the fact that many properties in Baden-Baden are primarily bought as investment objects. A comprehensive analysis of the situation in the city offers ImmobilienScout24 , which provides further information about investment property in the region.

These developments raise questions about how the city and the responsible authorities will react to the challenge of the ever increasing vacancy. The lack of data collection could be viewed as a significant inhibition for future measures to revive the housing market in the city.
