Langenfeld real estate market: price increase despite uncertainties!

The real estate market in Langenfeld is stabilizing due to current developments. The real estate market research from Laufenberg Immobilien, which was published in the report for 2025, shows that prices are rising slightly again after a decline. This tendency is particularly observed in the surrounding towns of Monheim, Hilden and Leichlingen. The average price per square meter in Langenfeld has fallen by 1.3% compared to the previous year and is now 3,814 euros.

These price movements reflect nationwide developments, which were primarily influenced by rising interest rates and economic uncertainty in 2023. However, a trend reversal has been observed since the end of 2024. This is supported by the German Real Estate Index (GREIX). In the first quarter of 2025, condo prices rose 1%, while single-family homes rose 1.1%. Compared to the same quarter last year, prices for condominiums rose by 3.2%, single-family homes by 4.7% and multi-family homes by as much as 8.7%.

Attractive market conditions for buyers

Laufenberg Immobilien's analysis highlights that stable land values, a solid demand profile and improved market conditions make Langenfeld attractive for property buyers. Renovated, energy-efficient properties are particularly in demand. Jan Oechler, the branch manager of Laufenberg Immobilien, reports serious interest in property purchases, with inquiries being targeted and well prepared rather than consisting of mass inquiries. Owners of such properties benefit from stable prices, while banks critically evaluate risk-dependent, energy-efficient properties that have not been renovated, which can lead to more difficult financing commitments.

The standard land values ​​will remain stable in 2025. Wiescheid has the highest benchmark at 628 euros per square meter, while Berghausen is at the lower end at 612 euros per square meter.

Factors influencing the real estate market

The development of property prices in Langenfeld is influenced by numerous factors. On the supply side, the availability of building land, construction costs and regulations in the construction industry are crucial. On the demand side, factors such as population growth, income and unemployment play a role, as the analysis by Engel & Völkers makes clear. An increase in population or income usually leads to higher demand for real estate and therefore rising prices.

External factors that influence the market include general economic development, political decisions, infrastructure projects and the overall attractiveness of the region. These aspects will continue to shape the real estate market in Langenfeld in the coming years.
