Berlin appartment rent index 2007
hurray - the new appartment rent index is out!
Actually the new Berlin appartment rent index was already released last week - but as you might have noticed already I always need a little time to sit down and write.. - ..whatever..:]
So - what is so new about this new appartment rent index? ..that Berlin rents are rising slowly but shurely..? Well - that’s already old news. No - there’s of course more to the rent index than just some old news: for me it was entertainment and headaches for at least one afternoon. When I heard about the new index I had to check the related website right away and only a few moments later I found myself entering my home address and checking and unchecking those little checkboxes just to find out what I already knew before: that the rent for our appartment hits the upper limit for rents in our neighbourhood - for appartments with a similiar condition/heating/floor/outfit.. But it is actually fun to find that out!
Besides this online tool there’s also a colourful Berlin map, indicating three different ‘housing area qualities’ - but the map is offered in such a bad quality that it is almost impossible to guess your neighbourhood by the streets - at least the borders of the destricts are crearly visible. There’s still things that need improvement.
well - so here’s the link to the ‘appartment rent index’ (’Mietspiegel’):
