Germany is a major Central European country stretching from the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the north to the high peak of Zugspitze in the south. It shares land borders with nine neighbouring nations, including Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, France, and Austria. The population and economy are distributed across several large metropolitan areas rather than a single dominant centre, with Berlin acting as the capital and Hamburg and Munich serving as major regional and economic hubs.
In terms of housing, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria hold the largest shares of the national stock. Buyers face significant regional price differences, with Bavaria, Hesse, and Baden-Württemberg representing the more expensive territories, while Saxony, Lower Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt offer cheaper alternatives. On a city level, Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg contain a substantial portion of the country's housing, with Munich commanding the highest prices, followed closely by Berlin and Hamburg. In contrast, cities like Bremen and Leipzig provide more affordable urban living.
