The price increases in the real estate market in Rhineland-Palatinate have ended, with prices in urban and rural areas converging. This follows a nationwide trend since mid-2022, resulting in a significant drop in property purchases from nearly 69,700 in 2021 to 50,800 in 2023, and a decrease in total transaction volume from €14.7 billion to €9.7 billion.", A2="The shift is attributed to rising interest rates for construction loans, increased construction costs, and disrupted supply chains.

This has led to a noticeable shift toward rental properties over homeownership.", A3="The trend suggests a lasting impact on the housing market, with potential long-term consequences for young families facing affordability challenges and a decreased ability to access homeownership.
