Instone Real Estate Group SE has exceeded its 2025 sales target, reporting preliminary figures showing total sales volume surpassing EUR 500 million, representing growth of more than 50 percent compared to 2024's EUR 330 million. This achievement marks a significant step in the company's return to sustainable growth following market challenges.
The fourth quarter proved particularly strong, delivering the highest quarterly sales since the market downturn began. Q4 sales totaled more than EUR 270 million, with institutional transactions accounting for approximately EUR 140 million of that amount. These deals spanned key metropolitan regions including Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Frankfurt, involving buyers ranging from financial investors and municipal housing companies to fund managers and cooperatives. This institutional activity indicates growing recovery in demand from professional real estate investors.
Private investors remained the primary growth driver throughout 2025, with attractive tax incentives under the Growth Opportunities Act creating favorable conditions for investments in climate-friendly new-build apartments. Instone Group 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 sales volume exceeding EUR 130 million.
Looking ahead to 2026, Instone Group plans to significantly increase the number of new sales starts, building on positive momentum among both private and institutional investors. CEO Kruno Crepulja stated that strong demand in the final quarter reinforces expectations of continued market recovery, with increasing investments in new land acquisitions laying the foundation for sustainable growth.
The company's 2025 Annual Report, including the outlook for 2026, will be published on March 17, 2026, providing detailed financial results and strategic direction. As one of Germany's leading residential developers, Instone Group's performance serves as an important indicator of recovery in the country's real estate development sector, particularly for climate-friendly residential projects benefiting from government incentives.
