FAQ: Property in Düsseldorf
How high are property prices in Düsseldorf?
Property prices in Düsseldorf are among the highest in North Rhine-Westphalia. Depending on location, owner-occupied apartments cost on average between 2,600 and 7,500 euros per square metre, and up to 9,000 euros per square metre in premium locations such as Oberkassel. Houses range from around 380,000 euros in Eller to several million euros in Oberkassel. Rental prices range between 9.50 and 22.00 euros per square metre cold rent. These figures are guide values and may vary depending on condition, year of construction and exact location.
What does an estate agent cost in Düsseldorf?
The agent’s commission for property sales in Düsseldorf is usually between 3.57 and 7.14 percent of the purchase price, including VAT. Since the 2020 reform, buyers and sellers usually split the commission equally on sales. For lettings, the landlord usually pays the commission. The exact amount is agreed individually in the agency agreement.
Which districts in Düsseldorf are interesting for property buyers?
Oberkassel and Golzheim are particularly sought after for upmarket requirements on the Rhine riverbank, Pempelfort and Bilk for urban living with good infrastructure, and Flingern for buyers who value an up-and-coming creative district. Eller offers a comparatively moderate price level for families and investors. Each district has its own price structure and target group, and we are happy to advise you individually on the right location.
What is the difference between the Düsseldorf and the Ruhr region property market?
As the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf is not part of the Ruhr region but an independent, high-priced property market with stronger international demand. While cities such as Mülheim, Essen, Oberhausen and Duisburg in the Ruhr region show comparatively more moderate prices, the price level in Düsseldorf is noticeably higher, particularly in locations close to the city centre and the Rhine.
Does Wellhöner Immobilien also offer property management in Düsseldorf?
Yes, in addition to property sales and letting, Wellhöner Immobilien also offers property management in Düsseldorf: property management with commercial and technical property management, homeowners’ association (WEG) management for owners’ associations, and letting management with tenant support and service charge statements. Our full-service offering covers the entire Rhine-Ruhr region.
How is my property in Düsseldorf valued?
We combine the standardised procedure under ImmoWertV with Pricehubble’s AI-supported technology. Following an on-site inspection, current comparable values from Düsseldorf districts as well as an AI-supported market analysis feed into the valuation. The result is a market-accurate assessment that takes into account the location, condition and fittings of your property.
How long does a property sale take in Düsseldorf?
A property sale in Düsseldorf usually takes two to six months from the initial conversation to the notary appointment. In sought-after locations such as Oberkassel or Golzheim, demand is high, which often shortens the sales process. With professional marketing and an existing network of buyers, we frequently achieve shorter marketing times.
