Instone Real Estate Group SE has successfully achieved its 2025 sales target, with preliminary figures showing total sales volume exceeding EUR 500 million, representing an increase of more than 50 percent compared to the previous year's EUR 330 million. This performance marks a decisive step in the company's return to a sustainable growth path, with the fourth quarter delivering the highest quarterly sales since the start of the market downturn.
The fourth quarter was particularly strong, with sales totalling more than EUR 270 million. Several institutional transactions amounting to approximately EUR 140 million made a significant contribution to this result. These deals were spread across key metropolitan regions including Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Frankfurt, with buyers ranging from financial investors and municipal housing companies to fund managers and cooperatives. This activity underscores the growing recovery in institutional demand for residential development projects in Germany.
Private investors remain the primary growth engine for Instone Group, with attractive tax incentives under the Growth Opportunities Act creating favourable conditions and compelling return prospects for investments in climate-friendly new-build apartments. The company has tailored its product portfolio to leverage these incentives, resulting in strong market uptake of its 2025 sales launches. In the fourth quarter alone, 219 apartments were sold to private investors, generating a sales volume of more than EUR 130 million.
Looking ahead to 2026, Instone Group plans to significantly increase the number of new sales starts. The positive momentum among both private and institutional investors gives the company confidence in continued market recovery. "The strong demand in the final quarter of 2025 reinforces our expectation that the market recovery will persist. With our increasing investments in new land acquisitions, we are laying the foundation for a return to sustainable growth," said Kruno Crepulja, CEO of Instone Real Estate Group SE.
The company's performance has broader implications for Germany's residential real estate sector, indicating renewed investor confidence and market stabilization following previous downturns. The success of the Growth Opportunities Act incentives demonstrates how policy measures can stimulate investment in climate-friendly housing development. For industry observers, Instone Group's achievement suggests that well-positioned developers with diversified investor bases can navigate market challenges effectively.
