Because demand for rental homes in Munich structurally exceeds supply. Munich is Germany’s most expensive rental city, driven by a strong job market, international companies and very limited new construction. The official rent index (Mietspiegel), approved by the Munich city council, documents the level:
| Indicator | Value | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Average net cold rent, existing leases | 15.38 euros per m² | Mietspiegel München 2025 (official, qualified) |
| Average net cold rent, new lettings | 17.06 euros per m² | Mietspiegel München 2025 (official, qualified) |
| Increase versus Mietspiegel 2023 | plus 5.5 percent | Mietspiegel München 2025 (official, qualified) |
| Well-connected suburbs (Unterhaching, Ottobrunn, Neubiberg and others) | slightly below city level, very stable demand | Own market assessment, 2026-07-11 |
