Comment: The purchase price was determined as follows: According to the real estate market report of the City of Frankfurt in 2018, buildings of the years of construction 1950-1974 in the land registry district 21 (like this object) have an average purchase price of € 4,680 per m² of living space. That sums up to a purchase price of 571,000, - € for this object. Depending on the personal expectations, the modernization costs of the apartment are between 80 and 120 TEUR. This deducted reduces the purchase price to max. 450,000, - €.
Additional to this, the payment to the maintenance reserve of currently € 4,100 per year will be subsided by the seller for the time periof of five years by a further discount of € 20,500.
Thus, a market-oriented purchase price of 429,500, - € is calculated for this apartment, which corresponds to a purchase price of 3,520, - € per m² of living space. This is a discount on the average purchase price of 25%.
It is pointed out that the land value in this exclusive residential area is at 4.300, - € per sqm land (Bodenrichtwertkarte Frankfurt) from 1.1.2018; compared to 1.1.2016 it was 2.400, - € per m². (2014 = 1.800, - €, 2012 = 1.600, - €, 2010 = 1.500, - €) It is unlikely that this trend will go downhill in this location. An investment in a property in this location is well spent, whether for self-use or for renting of the apartment.
