The year 2026 feels different from recent years. The period of great uncertainty is coming to an end—a kind of normalization is setting in. After all the volatility in interest rates and construction costs, one thing above all else is evident in our discussions: the desire for stability is back. Buyers and investors are once again placing their trust in the foundations on which they can plan.

"It's actually quite simple: if you focus Berlin quality in Berlin , you don't need to fear the future."

Berlin Berlin and the demand is real.
We are seeing moderate price increases of 3 to 4%. This is not artificial hype, it is mathematics. Living space in our capital city remains scarce, and new construction is still not keeping pace with demand.

"I keep saying it: a condominium in Berlin is not a speculative investment, but a tangible asset. Anyone who buys today is not only protecting themselves from rising rents, but also securing a piece of Berlin's future."

A boost from subsidies and tax
Now is a good time to remain liquid while securing returns. Tax incentives—above all, the special depreciation allowance under Section 7b of the German Income Tax Act (EStG)—and KfW subsidies for energy-efficient buildings are currently real game changers. These are not just nice extras; they are tangible tools for smart calculators.

The VENTIS: Quality can be affordable
For us at VENTIS , quality over quantity VENTIS more VENTIS than ever. We don't bend over backwards for a quick buck. I am particularly excited about our new project, which is about to be launched on the market. We have set ourselves a clear goal here: a price level that is accessible without compromising on the typical VENTIS. That means:

• Location with potential
• Floor plans that suit modern lifestyles
• Construction quality that can be expected from us

This year is not for gamblers. It is a year for players who make considered decisions and rely on reliability. Those who have the courage to act now are not just buying square meters—they are buying stability.
