A growing city with very different sub-markets
The 2026 property market report gives Leipzig around 633,600 inhabitants with their main residence in 2025. Since 2016, the population has thus risen from around 579,500 by more than 50,000. The city covers around 298 km². For the property market, however, growth alone is not decisive, but rather the geographical and architectural diversity within the city.
Leipzig combines a compact city centre and densely built late-19th-century quarters with spacious residential areas, villa locations, detached-house estates, incorporated village structures and large commercial and logistics sites. The valuation committee reflects exactly these differences: its location classification distinguishes city-centre locations, multi-storey or apartment building locations, detached-house locations, villa locations, mixed locations, urbanised or peripheral mixed localities, village locations, outlying-area locations and commercial locations.
The official data system itself is therefore an indication that “property prices in Leipzig” as a single figure says little. A flat in a refurbished period building, a new build, an apartment building, a villa, a terraced house or a commercial plot each belong to a different sub-market.
The property market report itself states this limit clearly: ranges and average prices characterise market behaviour and serve primarily as market orientation. For a proper, market-based valuation, further characteristics such as location, type and density of use, condition and actual properties must be taken into account.

More transactions – but no uniform trend across all segments
In 2025, a total of 6,341 transactions were registered in Leipzig. That was 22% more than in 2024. Transaction volume, at around €2.457bn, was almost exactly at the previous year’s level. This combination already shows that a higher number of transactions does not automatically mean a correspondingly higher total volume.
+22% on 2024
almost unchanged on the previous year
around 81% of all transactions
Individually owned units (flats and commercial units) developed particularly strongly: the number of transactions rose from 4,116 to 5,163 and transaction volume from €989m to €1.293bn. In 2025, around 81% of all transactions and around 53% of transaction volume were therefore accounted for by individually owned units.
For developed plots, the trend was different. Although the number of transactions rose from 827 to 902, transaction volume fell from around €1.314bn to €1.021bn. For undeveloped plots, the number of transactions remained almost stable at 276; transaction volume fell slightly to around €143m.
Land turnover also fell: around 228 ha of undeveloped and developed plots together changed hands in 2025, 19% less than in 2024. For market analysis, therefore, what matters is not a single figure but the interplay of number of transactions, transaction volume and land turnover and the respective property type.

Four residential location grades – and nine different location classes
The valuation committee distinguishes four residential location grades: simple, average, good and very good. The classification is not based solely on a place name. It takes into account emissions, building style and streetscape, servicing, green space or proximity to a park or the floodplain forest (Auwald), infrastructure and local shopping, public transport, position in relation to the city centre and leisure facilities, and image and prestige.
In addition, there are the location classes. A villa location is something different from a multi-storey location, even if both can lie in the same neighbourhood. A peripheral mixed locality differs in turn from a village location or a purely detached-house location. For the valuation, this means that city district and neighbourhood are important geographical reference points, but are not sufficient as a description of location.
This system is particularly valuable for Leipzig. It makes it possible not to misread the market information as a neighbourhood ranking, but to assess the specific location quality and use structure of a plot professionally.
Year of construction, building type, condition, location and plot interact
The property market report differentiates detached houses, semi-detached houses and end-of-terrace and mid-terrace houses by age band, city district and structural condition. For detailed price analyses, unusual or personal circumstances, plots over 1,500 m², multiple main buildings and living areas outside 80 to 200 m², among other things, are excluded.
Average · only 7 sales
Average · 19 sales
Median purchase price of the cost approach sample
For recent detached houses built between 2021 and 2025, there were only seven usable transactions in 2025. The city-wide average was around €4,398 per m² of living area. The small number of cases alone shows why no general Leipzig new-build house price should be derived from this.
For semi-detached houses built before 1930, 19 usable sales were available. The city-wide average was around €3,144/m²; the values observed in the individual city districts differ markedly. For older detached houses, the report also shows considerable differences by city district and age band.
The cost approach analysis confirms this differentiation. For detached and two-family houses built before 1991, the median of the purchase prices examined was around €352,000, and the median of the provisional cost value around €314,000. For houses from 1991 onwards, the median purchase price in the analysed sample was around €485,000 and the median provisional cost value around €436,000. Market adjustment factors specific to building type are derived from this – not a blanket factor for the whole of Leipzig.
For a specific house valuation, building type, year of construction, state of modernisation, remaining economic life, living area, plot and location must therefore first fit the respective analysis model.

Leipzig’s largest sub-market requires clean segmentation
With 5,163 transactions, individually owned units were by far Leipzig’s largest sub-market in 2025. That is precisely why a single “Leipzig flat price” would be misleading. The report differentiates by first sale and resale, new build, refurbished period building, year of construction, city district or neighbourhood, flat size and in some cases other characteristics such as parking.
Average · 214 sales
Market year 2025
+31% on 2024
For new-build first sales with parking, 214 sales were analysed city-wide. The average purchase price was €6,451/m². This figure is not a general new-build price for every location in Leipzig; the analyses by neighbourhood show considerable differences and different numbers of cases.
For resales, the data basis is much broader and at the same time more strongly segmented. Among other things, the valuation committee separates flats in refurbished period buildings constructed before 1991 from more recent buildings. For valuation, this separation is essential, because year of construction and refurbishment, residential location, flat size and standard land value have statistically demonstrable effects.
Particularly interesting is the professional level behind the price overviews: large samples of purchase prices were examined to derive conversion coefficients. Such data allows a much more precise market classification than an online portal, but requires the model conditions to fit the specific flat.
For flats in particular, therefore: the purchase price per square metre is only the starting point. Building age and state of refurbishment, residential location, flat size, floor level, fittings, parking, common property and legal circumstances must be considered together.

Purchase price, rent, gross income multiplier and yield considered together
In 2025, a total of 229 apartment building sales with a transaction volume of around €410.1m were registered. Most transactions were in the Ost city district, followed by Altwest, Nord, Südost and Südwest. The market report separates unrefurbished period buildings, refurbished period buildings, new builds and more recent stock.
Average · 124 sales
Sample average

Sample average
For unrefurbished apartment buildings, only nine fully usable transactions were available. The median was €1,864 per m² of living/usable area. Because of the small number of cases, the valuation committee does not differentiate further by city district here.
For refurbished period buildings, the data basis is much stronger. For 124 analysed sales with a commercial lettable area share of less than 20%, the city-wide average purchase price was €1,825/m², the average net rent €6.73/m², the average gross income multiplier 23.1 and the net initial yield 3.1%.
The city districts differ markedly. In Mitte, the average purchase price was €2,184/m² and the gross income multiplier 24.5; in Süd €2,317/m² and 24.1; in Nordwest, by contrast, €1,664/m² with a multiplier of 20.4. Despite an average purchase price of €1,776/m², Südwest reached a multiplier of 26.5. Purchase price and multiplier therefore do not automatically move in parallel, because achievable rents and the specific property structure also vary.
For investment property, this is central: a gross income multiplier is not a universal Leipzig figure. Rent, vacancy, remaining useful life, land value, operating costs, commercial lettable area share and property type must fit the respective valuation model.

Office, retail, production and logistics are not a homogeneous group of properties
Leipzig has a separate market for commercial property. The property market report distinguishes, among others, mixed-use buildings with a higher commercial share, office and administrative buildings, retail, workshops, industrial buildings and warehouse and logistics properties.
The valuation committee expressly points out that – with the exception of mixed-use buildings – no reliable further detailed statements are possible because the data is in some cases limited. This limit is important for the valuation.
An office building in an inner-city location cannot be meaningfully compared with a logistics property, a production hall or a retail property via a common price per square metre – neither in terms of plot, alternative use potential, tenancy structure nor technical equipment.
For commercial and industrial property, use, location, plot, planning options, building structure, technical equipment, lease or operator arrangements and alternative uses must therefore be examined for the specific property. A small number of genuinely comparable sales increases the importance of expert market analysis.
Residential building land is differentiated by use, location and development density
For land, too, there is no meaningful blanket city value in Leipzig. The valuation committee distinguishes individual housing, multi-storey residential development and commercial property, and also takes into account residential location, plot size and, for dense development, the density of use.
reference size 500 m²
reference size 500 m²
reference size 500 m²
For plots for individual housing with a reference size of 500 m², the report gives average land value levels as at 1 January 2026 of around €250/m² in simple, €350/m² in average and €430/m² in good residential locations. These figures are location-related orientation values and no substitute for the specific standard land value zone.
For multi-storey residential development, the value-relevant floor area ratio (WGFZ) is also taken into account. With a WGFZ of 2.0, the land value levels shown range, for example, from around €520/m² to €2,000/m² depending on the residential location. This alone shows how strongly development density and location interact.
For individual housing, the valuation committee has examined the influence of plot area statistically. Of 1,392 transactions, 1,105 transactions remained after filtering and outlier checks for deriving the area conversion coefficients. The standard is 500 m². A 700 m² plot is therefore not automatically valued at the same price per square metre as a 400 m² reference plot.
For multi-storey development plots, the dependence of land value on the WGFZ was also examined. After filtering and outlier checks, 253 transactions remained. Here too, the valuation committee expressly points out that adjustment results must be checked by an expert for consistency with the market.

Property yields, market adjustment factors and conversion coefficients instead of portal values
The Leipzig property market report goes far beyond price overviews. For professional property valuation, it contains property yields for apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings and flats, market adjustment factors for detached and two-family houses and conversion coefficients for plot area and WGFZ.
For the property yields, the model parameters are precisely defined: operating costs according to ImmoWertV, standard land value adjusted to the specific property, total useful life, actual and plausibility-checked net rents, remaining useful life and gross income. A property yield is therefore not a freely transferable “Leipzig yield”, but part of a particular valuation model.
The report also points out the limits of its data basis. For certain apartment buildings built from 1991 onwards and for mixed-use buildings, only relatively few suitable transactions are available. Such figures are not worthless – but their reliability must be assessed by an expert when they are applied.
The same applies to the market adjustment factors. They are derived separately by age band and building type. A mid-terrace house, a semi-detached house and a detached house can show different market adjustments despite a similar provisional cost value.
This is precisely the difference between market information and property valuation: the report provides a very good data basis. The professional task is to select the right model, the appropriate sample and the property-specific adjustments for the specific property.

From Leipzig market information to a specific market valuation
The depth of the Leipzig property market report makes it particularly clear why a property valuation cannot consist of a city average. The official system itself separates residential locations, location classes, building types, years of construction, states of refurbishment, plot sizes and types of use.
For a flat, the appropriate sub-market must first be determined. For a detached house, building type, year of construction, condition, plot and location must be assessed together. For apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings, income, vacancy, remaining useful life and property yield come into play. For commercial and industrial property, comparability becomes even more demanding because of the heterogeneous uses.
The data shown on this page is therefore intended as market orientation. The property valuation or market valuation begins where the official data is applied to the specific plot and building.

City of Leipzig – not mixed with the Leipzig district
The professional basis for this page is the 2026 property market report of the Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte in der Stadt Leipzig, reference date 1 January 2026. It covers market activity in 2025 and was approved on 26 February 2026.
The information on this page relates exclusively to the area of the City of Leipzig. Data for the Leipzig district (Landkreis Leipzig) or other surrounding municipalities is not mixed with the city’s market data.
The figures are put into context editorially and are not used as a price for any specific property. For small samples or limited data, the limits of interpretation are expressly taken into account.
Property valuer for Leipzig, Markkleeberg, Delitzsch and the surrounding area
From my Dresden office, I value property in the City of Leipzig and the surrounding area: in the Leipzig district, including Markkleeberg, Borna, Grimma and Wurzen, and in the Nordsachsen district in Schkeuditz, Taucha, Delitzsch, Torgau and Oschatz. I also work throughout Saxony, for example in Dresden, Radebeul, Freital, Pirna and Meissen, in Bautzen, Freiberg and Döbeln, and in Chemnitz.
The market data on this page applies exclusively to the City of Leipzig. For places in the Leipzig and Nordsachsen districts, the data of the respective responsible valuation committees is relevant – I use this for a valuation in the surrounding area, without mixing it with the city figures.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Leipzig market data also apply to Markkleeberg, Schkeuditz or Grimma?
No. The figures on this page come from the City of Leipzig valuation committee and relate only to the city area. Markkleeberg and Grimma belong to the Leipzig district and Schkeuditz to the Nordsachsen district; there, the data of the respective district valuation committees is relevant. For a valuation in the surrounding area, I therefore use this local data.
Can the gross income multiplier of 23.1 be applied to every apartment building in Leipzig?
No. It is the average from 124 sales of refurbished period buildings with a commercial lettable area share of less than 20%. The multipliers differ markedly between city districts, and rent, vacancy, remaining useful life and operating costs must fit the respective valuation model.
Is the standard land value already the value of my plot?
No. The standard land value is an average location value for a model plot within a standard land value zone. The specific plot may differ from it.
Do you also value apartment buildings and commercial property?
Yes. Besides residential property, I value apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings and commercial, production and industrial property.
Which valuation is right for my case?
That depends on the occasion, the type of property and the depth required. Before you instruct me, we clarify together which scope suits the purpose.
Regional property markets in Saxony
The property markets in Saxony differ considerably. The following market pages are therefore organised according to the responsible valuation committees and follow a consistent structure.
Standard land values and property market data in Saxony
The locally responsible valuation committees keep purchase price collections, determine standard land values and derive other data required for valuation.
A standard land value is not the market value of a specific plot. It relates to a model reference plot within a zone. Differing plot characteristics and the specific market situation have to be examined in the valuation.
