Housing and property are increasingly becoming a social issue in the Erding district.
The prices increase more strongly from year to year.
So far, there is no evidence that the corona pandemic has a dampening effect.
Erding - On Monday, the district presented its new real estate market report for 2019.
Inflation is up to more than a fifth - within a year.
Christian Schmiedl from the expert committee for property values at the Erding district office has rolled over a lot of paper in recent months.
His collection of purchase prices is based on around 14,000 notary deeds.
This survey is particularly meaningful, because only purchases and prices actually made are recorded and no forecasts are made.
District Administrator Martin Bayerstorfer, Construction Department Head Michael Hildenbrand and Schmiedl presented the results at a press conference.
The square meter price for residential building space was around 670 euros last year, an increase of 42.2 percent compared to 2018, according to Schmiedl.
Detached single-family homes are the most desirable
The purchase prices for detached single and two-family houses - the most popular form of real estate - rose within a year by almost 16 percent to an average of 730,000 euros.
Schmiedl put the price increase for semi-detached houses, mid-row and end-of-row houses at 17.2 percent at around 675,000 euros.
Apartments cost an average of 5130 euros per square meter, an increase of 21.7 percent.
Agricultural land is also becoming more and more expensive - within a year by 15.1 percent to 14.4 euros per square meter.
The price increase was particularly strong in the main towns - Erding, Dorfen and Taufkirchen.
Real estate is in the greatest demand here.
Last year, according to Hildenbrand, almost half (48.2 percent) of all contracts were signed in the three municipalities - with a total turnover of almost 280 million euros.
These places top the price lists.
Erding is by far the most expensive.
Enormous overall economic importance
The real estate report impressively demonstrates the macroeconomic importance of the segment: “Last year, total sales were 656.5 million euros.
That is a new record, ”said Schmiedl, an increase of 21.6 percent compared to 2018.
For comparison: in 2010 282 million euros were turned over on the real estate market.
According to Bayerstorfer, more and more money is flowing for each notary deed.
"That shows how overheated the Erdingen store is now."
According to the report, the number of contracts for undeveloped land has tended to decline over the past few years and, with 516 certificates, reached the lowest level in a long time.
The district administrator attributes this to “the fact that the municipalities no longer designate so much building land and many farmers do not sell if they have to pay full tax on sales.
They are more concerned with replacement areas. ”Last year, according to Bayerstorfer, 17.2 hectares were covered with development plans throughout the district, in the years before that it was 20.2 and 13 hectares.
Prices gallop fastest on built-up plots
In 2017, a new record was set for undeveloped land with 247.5 million euros, last year it was 175.8 million.
In the agricultural and forestry sector, sales also fell - by 12.4 percent to 33.1 million euros.
Developed land, however, changed hands for 321 million euros, an increase of 50 percent.
This is precisely where the rise in prices takes place.
The price development calls for legislative action, demands Bayerstorfer.
He believes: “If land is sold in order to create affordable housing on it, it should be tax-free.
Because you can get to the top tax rate very quickly. "
He is happy that 968 houses and apartments were completed in the district last year.
That is 7.1 units per 1000 inhabitants.
In Bavaria there were only 4.6 in Upper Bavaria 5.3.
The market report is now available for 40 euros in the district office.
