The distribution of completed apartment sales in Prenzlauer Berg in 2025 provides a precise picture of actual market demand. The following figures are based exclusively on notarized transactions recorded by the Gutachterausschuss Berlin and therefore reflect real purchase decisions rather than asking prices or listing volumes.

In 2025, 2-room apartments accounted for the largest share of transactions, representing approximately 35% of all apartments sold in Prenzlauer Berg. This confirms the continued dominance of this segment, driven primarily by owner-occupiers and couples seeking flexible, well-located homes.

3-room apartments followed with around 27% of completed sales, underlining their central role in the market. Despite a comparatively high level of supply, this segment remains highly liquid, although buyers tend to be more selective and decision-making processes are often longer.

1-room apartments made up roughly 21% of transactions, reflecting a stable but more limited demand, largely influenced by investors and first-time buyers. Compared to previous years, this segment plays a less dominant role in owner-occupier demand.

Larger units show a markedly different pattern. 4-room apartments accounted for approximately 13% of sales, highlighting their relative scarcity and targeted demand, particularly from families. Apartments with 5 rooms or more represented only about 4% of transactions, confirming that this segment is niche-driven and highly dependent on layout, building quality, and micro-location.

Overall, the 2025 sales distribution illustrates a clearly segmented market in Prenzlauer Berg. Transaction activity is concentrated in the 2- and 3-room segments, while larger apartments remain structurally undersupplied but selectively sought after. For property owners, this underlines the importance of positioning each apartment precisely within its specific size segment and buyer group.

The comparison of supply and demand by number of rooms highlights a highly segmented residential market in Prenzlauer Berg, with notable imbalances depending on apartment size. The data, based on a Standortanalyse by Immobilienscout24, reflects the market dynamics of the last 12 months.

1-room apartments show a slight oversupply. With around 10% of listings but only about 8% of demand, this segment is less driven by owner-occupiers and more influenced by investors. Demand exists, but it is comparatively weaker than in larger segments.

2-room apartments are well balanced. Supply accounts for roughly 35%, while demand stands at about 32%. This confirms that 2-room units remain one of the most liquid segments in Prenzlauer Berg, appealing strongly to singles and couples and offering stable absorption.

3-room apartments also display a near-equilibrium between supply (approximately 33%) and demand (around 32%). Despite being one of the largest supply segments, demand remains strong. However, the high number of comparable listings gives buyers greater choice, often leading to longer decision-making processes and increased price sensitivity.

4-room apartments reveal the most pronounced imbalance. While only about 15% of available listings fall into this category, demand reaches approximately 23%. This indicates a structural undersupply of family-sized apartments in Prenzlauer Berg, making this segment particularly attractive for sellers when pricing and layout are aligned.

Apartments with 5 rooms or more represent a niche segment. Supply (around 7%) slightly exceeds demand (about 5%), suggesting that sales in this category are highly dependent on micro-location, building quality, and floor plan rather than broad market momentum.

Overall, the graphic illustrates that 2- and 3-room apartments form the core of market activity, while 4-room apartments benefit from demand exceeding supply, creating favorable conditions for well-positioned properties. In contrast, very small and very large units require more precise targeting to achieve successful transactions.

From our perspective as a local real estate agency active in Prenzlauer Berg on a daily basis, the market remains functional but highly selective. Buyers are well informed, compare extensively, and make decisions based on clear value propositions rather than general market momentum.

Apartments in undersupplied segments, particularly 4-room units, continue to attract strong interest when priced realistically

In more competitive segments, especially 2-room apartments, successful sales depend less on timing and more on precise pricing, quality of presentation, and a clear positioning within the local market.

Overall, the market rewards realism, transparency, and data-driven decision-making rather than speculative expectations.
