A sign reads "new tenant wanted" in a window of a commercial building in Frankfurt, Germany, July 19, 2023. Germany's property sector is in stress, underscoring a major change of fortune for real estate in Europe's largest economy after an end to the era
FRANKFURT, June 25 (Reuters) - German home prices rose modestly in the first quarter of 2026, marking the sixth consecutive quarterly gain as the property sector in Europe's largest economy seeks stability after a deep recession, data showed on Thursday.
• The gain of 1.4% from a year earlier was, however, the smallest rise since prices began increasing in late 2024.
• It follows a downward revision for the fourth quarter of 2025, to a 2.6% increase compared with a preliminary 3% gain.
• Buyers are cautious, experts say, pointing to geopolitical risks, rising unemployment, slower wage growth and higher mortgage rates.
