Berlin, 21. December 2020 --- Dr. Chris Mulder, Hypofriend Co-founder, sees no stop to house price increases: "Many of our clients expect that they can afford more house as a result of reduced agent fees in the revised law on real estate commissions and we agree. With interest rates low, and limited supply house prices will keep rising, despite Corona."
