Simultaneously, the Free State is seeing renewed growth in building plot sales.

The statistical office notes these values have limited comparability due to varying characteristics of sold plots.
Land Sales Development
Bavaria recorded 8,078 building plot sales in 2024 – a 7.8% increase from the previous year. However, this remains well below 2021 levels (18,381 plots sold). The decline primarily reflects higher construction interest rates, with 2023 marking the low point at just 7,500 sales. Total sales value reached €2.5 billion in 2024.
Upper Franconia, the region with Bavaria’s lowest land prices, faces particular demographic challenges. Some areas struggle with population decline, directly impacting building land demand.
