What do you need the property value for?

Which property is to be valued?

For law firms, professional guardians, estate administrators and companies: valuations for professional clients. Encumbrances such as usufruct and rights of residence or a heritable building right are taken into account depending on the purpose of the valuation.

Gütersloh, Verl and Rheda-Wiedenbrück lead – other municipalities are considerably lower

The typical standard land values as at 1 January 2026 and house sales in 2025 show the district’s market structure.

At €420/m² in average locations, the town of Gütersloh has the highest land value level, closely followed by Verl (€380/m²) and Rheda-Wiedenbrück (€330/m²). In Versmold, Borgholzhausen and Langenberg, on the other hand, average values are between €160 and €190/m². Across the district, the representative standard land value level in average locations ranges from €160 to €420/m².

The gradient is also evident in the building land prices actually paid: in the ordinary course of business in 2025, an average of €466/m² was paid in Verl, €378/m² in Gütersloh and €342/m² in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, but €192/m² in Harsewinkel and €189/m² in Langenberg. Municipal building land was often cheaper – in Verl, for example, €246/m² compared with €466/m² for private sales.

Flats: new builds at around €4,330/m², existing stock from around €1,800/m² depending on age

In 2025, first sales were concentrated in a few locations – 66 of the 198 new-build transactions alone were in Verl, 31 in Gütersloh, 27 in Rietberg and 24 in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock. Resales are dominated by the town of Gütersloh (188) and Rheda-Wiedenbrück (97).

The figures relate to developments with 4 to 16 units and 40 to 100 m² of living area, excluding parking spaces. Flats built between 1960 and 1969 were at €1,867/m², and those from the 1980s at €2,168/m².

After two years of decline (2023: −7%, 2024: −3%), prices for second-hand flats rose by 5% in 2025. With this report, the valuation committee publishes differentiated property yields for flats for the first time: 1.3% for owner-occupied and 1.8% for let flats. The yield rises with increasing remaining useful life.

Building land, garden land and outlying area: particular features of the Gütersloh district

Because of the historical settlement structure, numerous residential buildings in the Gütersloh district stand in the outlying area under planning law – on their own or in small groups of houses. For these plots, the valuation committee publishes its own guide values: housing in the outlying area €80 to €230/m², commercial use in the outlying area €23 to €50/m².

Oversized plots in built-up areas are not valued at the full standard land value: the full value applies to detached houses up to about 900 m² and to terraced and semi-detached houses up to about 450 m². Garden land that cannot be built on separately sold on average for around 30% of the standard land value in the town of Gütersloh and around 35% in the rest of the district.

According to the valuation committee, servicing costs for new developments are generally between €26 and €103/m². Commercial building land is mostly provided by the municipalities; the standard land value level in average locations is between €45 and €90/m².
