Different changes in numbers, but monthly rent declines
There were 23 observed four-room rental properties and 35 one-room properties. Compared to 3 months ago, the typical rent for four-room properties rose by 3.0%, while that for one-room properties fell by 7.8%. Thus, the sharpest diverging changes in the number of observed homes were accompanied by opposite movements in rents over the same period.
The month-on-month comparison, however, is different. Compared with September, the number of observed four-room properties fell by 4.2%, while the number of one-room properties rose by 2.9%. Typical rents declined in both segments—by 5.6% and 7.8%, respectively.
The asking-rent range for one-room properties is €217–€455/month, and for four-room properties it is €565–€1,165/month. These ranges cover the middle 80% of observed asking prices. The range is wider for four-room properties and was recorded for a smaller number of observed properties.
