REAL ESTATE

German real estate prices, which have been rising for several years, are increasingly the focus of public and research attention. The FDZ Ruhr analyzes the effects of exogenous shocks such as policy or infrastructure measures on housing costs. These analyses are based on the FDZ's own dataset RWI-GEO-RED and examine, for example, the effects of the rent brake. The dataset also allows for analyses at the current margin, so that (policy) measures can be evaluated in a timely manner.  

In addition, FDZ Ruhr produces its own real estate price index, RWI-GEO-REDX.  It tracks regional price and rent developments for both apartments and houses and is publicly available at RWI-GEO-REDX.
