Real estate agent Christian Reinhart – The company in Nuremberg

FIV: Before we go into Nuremberg and its real estate market and your recommendations for tenants and buyers, we would like to know a little more about your agency Immobilienmakler Reinhart. Could you briefly summarize for our readers what your agency does and what you specialize in?

C. Reinhart: As a real estate agent’s office, our focus is on the sale and rental of residential real estate. I.e. we mediate inventory real estates such as free-hold apartments and houses to capital investors and owner-occupiers. Our specialty is the sale of multi-family houses to investors, which we often broker “offmarket”, i.e. without public advertising, due to our good network.

Surroundings in Nuremberg:

FIV: As an agent in Nuremberg, which properties do you personally prefer to broker?

C. Reinhart: Every property is unique and is valued equally by us. However, we prefer to find new homes for young families.

Neighborhoods with a future in Nuremberg

FIV: Neighborhoods for Singles, Families & Co. – For those who don’t live in Nuremberg yet and want to move to Nuremberg, which neighborhoods have a future? Where should you move to in Nuremberg if you want to live nicely?

C. Reinhart: Beyond the typical preferred residential areas such as Erlenstegen, Zabo, Johannis or the old town: Gostenhof in particular is a great residential area for young people with a lot of potential.

Gostenhof district:

Development of real estate prices

FIV: Rents are a big topic, all over Germany. How has the real estate market and rental prices in Nuremberg developed in recent years and how will they develop in the future?

C. Reinhart: Both rents and purchase prices for residential real estate have risen significantly in recent years. This trend is unbroken, but in the medium term we expect prices to stabilize at a high level or fall slightly. Above all, the many attractive new construction projects of recent years should contribute to this.

FIV: In Germany, more people rent than buy. What would you recommend to a young couple or even a single person, renting or buying in Nuremberg?

C. Reinhart: If it is financially feasible to buy a property, we would prefer this option to renting. Of course, this always depends on the individual situation and also on whether a suitable property in the desired location is available for purchase at all.

Avoid typical first-time buyer mistakes

FIV: Anyone who rents in Nuremberg is relatively flexible and can move if necessary. Anyone who buys a property, whether a home or a condominium, is tied to the property for the long term at least by the loan or financing. What are typical first-time buyer mistakes from your experience as a real estate agent and how can you avoid them?

C. Reinhart: A typical mistake when buying for the first time is to compromise on location. I.e. it is better to pay “too much” for the right property than to buy a “bargain” in a bad location that does not fit in the long run. A somewhat too high purchase price is soon compensated. A problematic location, e.g. on a main road, cannot be corrected without further ado.

Taxes and incidental expenses incurred

FIV: The purchase price of a property is one thing, but what ancillary costs and taxes must buyers in Nuremberg expect?

C. Reinhart: The ancillary purchase costs are usually around 8-10% of the purchase price. These consist of the property tax of 3.5% levied in Bavaria. Notary costs of 1.5% and broker commission of 3.5% together.

Incidental expenses:

• Total 8-10% from the purchase price
• 3.5% Property tax
• 1.5% Notary fees
• 3.5% brokerage commission

This contributes to an increase in value and value retention. Otherwise, many other Nuremberg residential locations offer attractive opportunities for capital investors.

FIV: Finally, one more question: You had mentioned the typical mistakes buying a property. Many buy, but some also want to sell. As an experienced real estate agent in Nuremberg, what tips can you give to those who are selling a property for the first time? What are the first steps and how do you successfully sell a property in Nuremberg?

C. Reinhart: The central basis for a successful real estate sale is professional market pricing.

If the price is set too high, the property is “burned” on the market. If the price is too low sellers give away money
