Instone Real Estate Group SE has exceeded its 2025 sales target, reaching a total volume of more than EUR 500 million based on preliminary figures, representing an increase of over 50 percent compared to the previous year's EUR 330 million. This achievement marks a significant step in the company's return to sustainable growth following market challenges.
The fourth quarter of 2025 was particularly strong, delivering the highest quarterly sales since the market downturn began with more than EUR 270 million in sales. Approximately EUR 140 million of this came from several institutional transactions spread across key metropolitan regions including Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig, and Frankfurt. Buyers included financial investors, municipal housing companies, fund managers, and cooperatives, indicating growing recovery in institutional demand for residential development projects.
Private investors remained the primary growth driver throughout the year, with attractive tax incentives under Germany's 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 a sales volume exceeding EUR 130 million.
The company plans to significantly increase the number of new sales starts in 2026, with positive momentum among both private and institutional investors giving confidence in continued market recovery. "The strong demand in the final quarter of 2025 reinforces our expectation that the market recovery will persist," said Kruno Crepulja, CEO of Instone Real Estate Group SE. "With our increasing investments in new land acquisitions, we are laying the foundation for a return to sustainable growth."
The full 2025 Annual Report, including the outlook for 2026, will be published on March 17, 2026, and will be available through the company's investor relations channels.
