Heat pumps and photovoltaic systems: the increase in real estate value through renewable energies

Photovoltaic system & heat pump increase the real estate value

New regulations for renewable energies in the event of heating and increasing energy prices mean that real estate with photovoltaic systems and heat pumps are becoming increasingly attractive. This equipment already has a positive impact on the sales price of houses. Houses with heat pumps in particular achieve an average 43 percent higher price compared to houses without this technology.

According to Christoph Barniske, Vice President Product at Immoscout24, it is worthwhile for homeowners: Inside, it is worthwhile to deal with alternative heating methods: "A modern energy supply and a higher energy efficiency class have a positive effect on the property value.

For houses with photovoltaic systems, the average offer price is EUR 3,644 per square meter, which is 20 percent more than for houses without this technology. Houses with heat pumps are offered on average for 4,348 euros per square meter, which corresponds to a price advantage of 43 percent compared to houses without a heat pump. If both technologies are available in one house, the price increases by 50 percent.

It is important to note that heat pumps are mainly installed in new buildings, which have a higher energy efficiency class overall. In addition to the equipment, this also has a positive effect on the sales price. Immoscout24 offers homeowners: Inside a platform for comparing photovoltaic and heat pump installations as well as a modernization calculator to better assess planned measures.

Since 2021, houses with photovoltaic systems and heat pumps have increased up to 9 percent in value. This is due to rising energy prices and the building energy network. Houses with photovoltaic systems have an average offer price of 3,644 euros per square meter, while in 2021 it was only 3,458 euros. Houses with heat pumps have increased by 6 percentage points. In comparison, the offer price of single -family houses has increased by 2 percent without these technologies throughout Germany.

The proportion of single -family houses with photovoltaic systems is currently 8 percent, while 5 percent of the houses for sale are equipped with a heat pump. Heat pumps are particularly widespread in the district of Cloppenburg, where every fourth house has a heat pump (22 percent). In the districts of Amberg-Sulzbach and Landshut, 20 percent of the houses have a photovoltaic system.

The analysis shows that real estate with photovoltaic systems and heat pumps are becoming increasingly in demand. They offer a sustainable and cost -efficient solution to reduce energy consumption. The real estate market adapts to these developments and shows an increasing number of offers with this equipment.
