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.

Town of Minden: stable demand for houses, fewer flat sales

In 2025, the Minden town valuation committee received a total of 841 purchase contracts, of which 817 were analysed. Transaction volume remained at the previous year’s level at €196.7m. Building plots were sold more often (49 after 41) and at higher prices; demand for detached and two-family houses remained the same, while demand for flats fell.

In 2025, detached and two-family houses sold for an average of €286,799 (+12%), within a range of €77,000 to €2,895,000. Most houses (37%) cost between €200,000 and €300,000. For the years 2022 to 2025, the valuation committee gives the following by year of construction: 1950 to 1974 avg. €231,070, 1975 to 1994 avg. €304,966, 1995 to 2009 avg. €342,190, 2010 to 2023 avg. €442,254.

Semi-detached houses (33 sales in 2025) cost around €410,000 as new builds; second-hand semi-detached houses mostly sold for between €200,000 and €300,000. Commercial and industrial building land has been stable for years at €30 to €45/m².

Houses in the district: prices per m² by municipality and year of construction

In 2025, 865 detached and two-family houses were sold in the district (excluding the town of Minden), 190 of them in Bad Oeynhausen and 181 in Porta Westfalica. Purchase prices ranged from €60,000 to €685,000; overall, prices were 2% above the previous year.

For houses built between 2010 and 2023, the valuation committee gives €2,700/m² across the district, or an average total purchase price of €410,000. A detached house built between 1950 and 1974 cost an average of €215,000 in the district, and a semi-detached house of the same age band €185,000.

In this largely rural district, former farmsteads are a sub-market of their own: 32 suitable transactions, prices between €60,000 and €370,000, an average of €200,000 – with marked deviations from the cost value.

Investment property: few sales, wide ranges

The apartment building market is small in both market areas. In the town of Minden, 33 apartment buildings were sold in 2025 (€15.7m); in the district, prices of €180,000 to €1,896,000 were paid – mostly for buildings with three to eight flats that are more than 50 years old.

Because few rents are reported, the town of Minden publishes only yield ranges, and for commercial property expressly as empirical or literature values. The district valuation committee derives averages from transactions, but for commercial property from the years 2020 to 2025 and with a large standard deviation. For a robust income valuation, rent, operating costs and remaining useful life must therefore be derived for the specific property.

For commercial rents, the town of Minden refers to the IHK rent atlas 2025: prime (1a) shops €15 to €30/m², offices €5.50 to €10/m², warehouse and production €2.50 to €5.50/m².

Standard land values, property guide values and property market data in North Rhine-Westphalia

The locally responsible valuation committees keep the purchase price collection, adopt standard land values and property guide values and derive the data required for valuation. In North Rhine-Westphalia, this data is freely available via BORIS.NRW.

A standard land value is not the market value of a specific plot, and a property guide value is not the market value of a specific property. Both relate to model standard properties within a zone. Differing characteristics, condition, rights and the current market situation have to be examined separately in the valuation.
