Real estate market trend: Notable increase in residential property demand across various locations
In July 2025, Von Poll Immobilien, one of Europe's largest real estate agencies, conducted an online survey among its 227 independent real estate experts. The survey aimed to gauge the current state of the residential real estate market.
The findings suggest a mixed picture for the market in 2025. On one hand, 49.8% of the surveyed real estate agents reported a slight increase in demand for residential real estate, with an additional 8.8% seeing a significant increase. This indicates a growing interest in the housing market.
On the other hand, 16.3% of the agents saw a significant increase in real estate supply, depending on the price segment and condition. This could potentially lead to a more competitive market.
Interestingly, just as many real estate experts reported shorter sales times as saw an extension. The survey results show that 25.6% of real estate agents reported a slightly shorter marketing time, while 25.6% saw a slight extension, and 14.5% saw a significant increase in marketing duration.
The survey also revealed that 50.2% of real estate agents reported a slightly larger real estate portfolio, which could be a result of the increased demand for properties. However, only 9.2% of the agents observed a decrease in real estate supply.
Von Poll Immobilien, led by managing partners Daniel Ritter and Sassan Hilgendorf, along with Beata von Poll, Dirk Dosch, and Wolfram Gast, was again awarded top marks by the Capital Real Estate Compass in its October 2024 issue, underscoring the agency's continued success and influence in the real estate market.
It's important to note that while the survey provides valuable insights, it does not offer a comprehensive or authoritative view of the current state of the residential real estate market in 2025. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to visit Von Poll Immobilien's official website or check their latest press releases.

Investors might find it interesting to know that a significant number of real estate agents (49.8%) reported a slight increase in demand for residential real estate in 2025, indicating potential opportunities in the housing market. Concurrently, some agents (16.3%) anticipate a more competitive market due to an increase in real estate supply, suggesting the need for careful finance management when investing in this sector.
