Real estate prices on the North and Baltic Sea: a new price increase?

Real estate prices on the German North and Baltic Sea coast recorded an increase again in the first quarter of 2025. This trend on the North Frisian Islands is particularly pronounced, where the prices for residential properties attract strongly. According to the current data from OE24, the average square meter price on the North Frisian Islands is 12,294 euros, which corresponds to an increase of 10.3 percent compared to the same period last year.

The most expensive region in this context remains Sylt, where the square meter price is currently 14,597 euros. Here, too, there is an increase of 5.3 percent. In contrast, the East Frisian Islands report an average square meter price of 8,743 euros, which, however, shows a decrease of 2.9 percent. The cheapest properties can still be found in the Wesermarsch district, where the square meter price is only 1,833 euros.

Baltic coast: cheaper prices and high demand

On the Baltic Sea coast there is a similar picture, whereby the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula is the most expensive region with 4,450 euros per square meter. Cities such as Rostock (3,730 euros) and Usedom (almost 3,600 euros) also record comparatively high prices here. The first analyzes also show that in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, real estate prices of almost 1,600 euros per square meter are achieved, which makes this region the cheapest on the Baltic Sea.

A high demand for real estate with water views, modern equipment and good rentability shapes the market. Energetic standards and renovation measures are also becoming increasingly important. The Coast Report 2023 of Poll Immobilien confirms these developments and also notes that in recent years a continued high demand has led to a price increase.

market analysis and trends

Although in some regions, such as the North Frisian Islands, the price -razor, there are also areas where prices stagnate or even fall. For example, the square meter prices on the North Frisian Islands in 2023 fell by 7.5 percent to an average of 12,866 euros, with Sylt continued to be the most expensive island with a decrease of 14 percent. A slight decline in the price was also observed by 0.5 percent in the East Frisian Islands.

on the mainland, prices show a negative tendency, with a decline in the districts of Friesland и Aurich of up to 8.6 percent. It can be stated that the range of real estate has increased in these regions while demand has decreased. This leads to longer marketing times and illustrates the difficult market that buyers currently find.

Overall, the real estate market on the north and Baltic Sea coast remains characterized by dynamic changes, which represent both opportunities and challenges. Buyers and sellers have to adapt to a changing environment in which both increasing and falling prices are on the agenda. Current developments show that the region remains attractive for buyers, especially when it comes to high -quality properties with special features.
