How to read this page

Data provenance is part of the product

Transparency

Current FlatHunt observationsInventory, budgets, apartment types, availability and listing attributes.

Historical market contextExternal data is never presented as FlatHunt’s historical dataset.

Official public dataMay support contextual maps or structural Berlin housing information.

Asking rents, not contractsAdvertised furnished prices are not signed-contract rents and are not interchangeable with the Berlin Mietspiegel.

Price geography

Where observed furnished asking rents are higher

Each coloured area is an official Berlin Ortsteil. It shows the median asking rent of FlatHunt observations matched to that neighbourhood — never an individual apartment or exact listing coordinate.

Click an Ortsteil to open current listings in FlatHunt. Areas with fewer than five plausibly priced observations are shown muted. Exact listing coordinates are never published.

Read this map carefully. A difference between two Ortsteile can reflect apartment size, housing type, provider mix and included services — not geography alone.

Districts

Rental conditions across Berlin

District-level comparison of currently observed furnished listings. Apartment and room medians are calculated separately; cells with fewer than 20 listings in that housing type are marked as a small sample.

Rent trend

Berlin asking rent over time

Comparison of Berlin’s regular rental market and furnished temporary housing over time. The chart contrasts net cold asking rent per m² with furnished all-in asking rent per m², which includes utilities and other service-related costs. Latest published medians for 2025: 15.78 €/m² (regular) and 24.14 €/m² (furnished temporary).

Historical rent benchmark

IBB (regular rentals) & Berlin Senate (furnished temporary) · median asking rent €/m²

External Market Benchmark

Regular rental (net cold)

Furnished temporary (all-in)

Furnished temporary rents are shown as all-in rents. The all-in rent includes net cold rent per m², operating and heating costs, electricity, internet, and in some cases additional costs such as final cleaning, service fees, or concierge services. This broader cost coverage is why the furnished (all-in) series sits above the regular rental (net cold) series.

Official context

Residential-location classification

The map shows the official Wohnlage classification used in the Berliner Mietspiegel 2026, which classifies the wider residential environment of each address as Simple (einfache Wohnlage), Average (mittlere Wohnlage) or Good (gute Wohnlage) based on characteristics of its surroundings compared with other locations across Berlin. It describes the residential location, not the quality or condition of an individual apartment or building, and is not an official rent-price layer.

Click an Ortsteil to open current listings in FlatHunt. Hover for official Wohnlage shares. Address results appear in the panel on the right.

Methodology

Transparent methodology

For universities, journalists and institutional partners, this is not secondary content. It is designed to make the data transparent, reproducible and easier to cite responsibly.

What is measured

Furnished and medium-term residential rental listings in Berlin observed through FlatHunt’s participating provider and platform coverage. Aggregates are stored per provider; listing payloads are not copied.

Reporting window

Current figures are a daily snapshot of active observations (observedAt). A provider matures for 90 days before it can enter a historical cohort. A published series uses providers eligible at the first point in that series.

Comparability index

Each provider is rebased to its own first observation; the inventory index is the median provider index, so a large feed does not dominate. A greater than 3× or less than one-third provider volume shift is quality-flagged.

Median rent

Headline rent metrics use the median so unusually expensive listings do not dominate the result. Asking rents are observations, not signed contract rents.

Advertised rent

Figures are advertised monthly asking rents as supplied by providers. Utilities and service bundling can differ across sources.

Duplicate handling

Listings are unique within a provider. Cross-provider deduplication is not claimed in methodology version fh-observatory-v2.

Sample thresholds

District n-values are always published. Relative ranking bars are suppressed when sample size is below 20. Heatmap Ortsteile with fewer than five plausibly priced observations are suppressed.

Known-value denominators

Availability and attribute percentages exclude missing or unparseable fields instead of treating unknown values as positive.

External benchmarks

Third-party values are named, dated and linked to the original permitted source near the visualization.

Limitations

The dataset represents the furnished/medium-term market observed by FlatHunt, not every rental property in Berlin. Missing attributes never count as “no”.

“FlatHunt aggregates furnished and medium-term rental listings available through participating housing providers and platforms. The dataset therefore represents the market observed by FlatHunt rather than every rental property available in Berlin.”
