Instone Real Estate Group SE has successfully met its 2025 sales target, reporting a preliminary sales volume exceeding EUR 500 million for the year, a more than 50% increase from EUR 330 million in 2024. This achievement marks a decisive step in the company's return to sustainable growth, driven by a particularly strong fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter delivered the highest quarterly sales since the start of the market downturn, totaling more than EUR 270 million. Institutional transactions contributed approximately EUR 140 million through deals in key metropolitan regions including Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig, and Frankfurt. Buyers ranged from financial investors and municipal housing companies to fund managers and cooperatives, underscoring the growing recovery in institutional demand. According to the company's press release, these transactions 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.

Private investors remained the primary growth engine, supported by attractive tax incentives under the Growth Opportunities Act. Instone tailored its product portfolio to leverage these incentives, resulting in strong market uptake. In the fourth quarter alone, 219 apartments were sold to private investors, generating a sales volume of more than EUR 130 million. The company noted that private investors are the primary growth engine, as detailed on Instone Group's website.

With our increasing investments in new land acquisitions, we are laying the foundation for a return to sustainable growth."
