Berlin (ots)

In today's world, real estate efficiency plays an increasingly decisive role in real estate evaluation. Photovoltaic systems and heat pumps in particular proved to be the valuable factors for real estate. A look at current data shows how the owners can gain an advantage on the real estate market by these technologies.

rising real estate prices through modern energy technologies

The integration of photovoltaic systems can increase the price of a house by up to 20 percent. With real estate with heat pumps , the price increases are even clearer: these houses achieve an average of 43 percent higher sales prices than those without this technology. In 2024, for example, the offer price for a house with a photovoltaic system is EUR 3,644 per square meter compared to 3,049 euros for a property without such systems.

increase in real estate offers with renewable energy sources

A trend is clearly recognizable: the proportion of single -family houses offered for sale, which are equipped with photovoltaics and heat pumps, grows continuously. In 2021, the proportion was 5 percent for houses with a photovoltaic system and 3 percent for those with heat pump. By 2024, this proportion increased to 8 percent or 5 percent. The district of Cloppenburg should be emphasized, where almost every fourth offered house is equipped with a heat pump.

Influence of the building energy law on future developments

The building energy network sets new standards: From 2028, the use of at least 65 percent renewable energy for new heating systems is to become binding. This increases the pressure on homeowners to invest in sustainable energy solutions in order to maintain or even increase the value of your property.

market analysis and future perspectives

The analysis of Immoscout24 shows that thanks to the rising energy prices and the pressure through legal regulations, houses with alternative heating methods are attracted to attractiveness. The average offer price for houses with a heat pump rose by 6 percent between 2021 and 2024, while houses with both photovoltaic system and heat pump recorded an increase of 9 percent.

Christoph Barniske, Vice President Product at Immoscout24, underlines: "Homeowners: Inside, in the course of the energy transition, new forms of the heating have to be dealt with. Already now we can see that a modern energy supply and a higher energy efficiency class have a positive effect on the value of the property."
