2025: volume back at the level of 2020

In 2025, a total of 1,503 transactions with a transaction volume of €203m were registered in the Höxter district – 14% more transactions and 10% more volume than in 2024. Transaction volume thus returned to the level of 2020.

Compared with the rest of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Höxter district remains a market where second-hand houses can be bought inexpensively: 25% of the detached and two-family houses sold in 2025 cost up to €100,000, 37% between €100,000 and €200,000 and only 3% more than €400,000. On average, prices of second-hand houses fell by 1.4%.

Other sub-markets: 98 flats (€11.31m), 57 second-hand apartment buildings (€21.99m, significantly more than in the previous year), 71 building plots for individual housing (−28%) and arable, grassland and forest land. As in 2024, trading in new-build flats has almost come to a standstill.

Höxter, Bad Driburg, Warburg and Brakel compared

With 283 acquisitions and €39.69m, the town of Höxter was the district’s largest market by volume in 2025, followed by Warburg (235 / €39.08m) and Bad Driburg (235 / €36.85m). At €200/m², the core town of Bad Driburg has the highest standard land value for residential building land in the district; in villages with little demand, the guide values are in some cases €20/m².

In 2025, there was particularly heavy trading in the villages belonging to the towns of Höxter (60 house sales, avg. €1,024/m²) and Warburg (46, avg. €1,144/m²). The small samples for individual core towns – such as 14 sales in Steinheim – fluctuate considerably from year to year and should not be read as the town’s price level.

Flats: second-hand at an average of €1,328/m²

With 98 transactions, the flat market in the Höxter district is small. Second-hand flats (82 resales) cost an average of €1,328 per m² of living area in 2025, after €1,291/m² in the previous year. Only 8 first sales were registered (avg. €3,424/m²).

The spread is considerable: flats in older buildings in simple locations sold for under €500/m², well-equipped existing flats in the best locations for over €2,000 to €2,500/m². In good locations with modern fittings, prices rose slightly, while older flats in simple locations lost value.

For second-hand flats, the property yield is 2.70% (239 comparable cases). The gross income multipliers rise with the (notional) year of construction from 15.5 for 1970 via 19.2 (1990) to 24.6 (2020), based on a standard land value of €120/m².

Building land is inexpensive, arable land is getting dearer

In 2025, 71 building plots for individual housing were sold, 38 of them by the municipalities. The average land price free of charges was €113/m² in the core towns and €54/m² in the villages. Standard land values for residential building land remained unchanged across the district.

It is different for agricultural land: all 126 arable land guide values were raised as at 1 January 2026, by €0.20 to €1.20/m²; they now range from €3.00 to €6.20/m². The grassland guide values rose by an average of 7.2% and are between €1.70 and €3.00/m². For forest land excluding timber, the valuation committee gives a long-term average price of €0.60/m².

The report contains its own specialist information on former farmsteads, farmhouses, residential land in the outlying area, garden land and dependent partial plots. It is precisely these special cases, common in the Höxter district, that cannot be valued reliably with standard values.

Conclusion: in the Höxter district, location within the district counts

The Höxter district remains a market where second-hand houses sell inexpensively by regional comparison – with an average market adjustment factor of 0.69 and marked differences between core towns and villages. For a robust valuation, I assign each property to its comparison area and examine condition, fittings and special features such as a former farmstead or outlying-area location on site.

Property valuer for Höxter, Bad Driburg, Warburg, Brakel and Beverungen

From my Lemgo office, I value property throughout the Höxter district – in Höxter, Bad Driburg, Warburg and Brakel as well as in Steinheim, Beverungen, Borgentreich, Nieheim, Marienmünster, Willebadessen and their villages. Site inspections can be arranged at short notice; I also work throughout East Westphalia-Lippe, for example in the Lippe district, Bielefeld and Paderborn and in the districts of Gütersloh, Herford and Minden-Lübbecke including the town of Minden.

The valuation committee groups the core towns of Bad Driburg, Höxter and Warburg into one comparison area and Beverungen, Brakel and Steinheim into a second; the village locations form their own comparison areas with a noticeably lower price level. For former farmsteads, farmhouses and plots in the outlying area, standard values are not sufficient in any case.
