About 353.000 € at our average of 5.920 € per m², before buying costs. With a broker, add 12,07% in buying costs (about 42.607 €), so you’d need around 395.607 € in total.

Typical prices by size, all years built:

• 40 m²: about 243.000 €
• 60 m²: about 353.000 €
• 100 m²: about 591.000 €

Small apartments cost more per m² than large ones, and location matters even more. Work out the full cost with the purchasing cost calculator.

With a broker, buying costs in Düsseldorf add up to 12,07% of the price:

• Property transfer tax (North Rhine-Westphalia): 6,5%
• Notary and land registry: about 2%
• Broker commission: up to 3,57% including VAT (the buyer pays at most half)

Without a broker, for example when you buy a new build from a developer or directly from the owner, it’s about 8,5%.

Examples:

• 300.000 € apartment: 36.210 € with a broker, 25.500 € without
• 400.000 € apartment: 48.280 € with a broker, 34.000 € without
• 500.000 € apartment: 60.350 € with a broker, 42.500 € without

Banks expect you to cover these costs from your own savings. Calculate yours with the purchasing cost calculator.

At least the buying costs: about 8,5%–12,07% of the price. Bringing more equity lowers your interest rate, because banks price loans in loan-to-value steps:

• Buying costs only (100%): the bank finances the full price, at a higher rate
• Plus 10% (90%): a noticeably better rate
• Plus 20% (80%): better still

Use the equity calculator to find your number, and read mortgage without equity if your savings are tight.

It depends on how long you plan to stay and how prices compare with rents where you want to live. Because buying costs have to be earned back first, buying rarely pays off in under 3–5 years.

Run your own numbers with the rent or buy calculator, and read Rent or buy in 2026.

Every month we value a standard set of reference apartments (40, 60 and 100 m²) and houses (120, 180 and 240 m²) in every Düsseldorf postal code, for different construction years, and take the median.

Because we value the same homes every month, the estimate shows real price changes rather than which homes happened to be for sale. It’s an estimate, not a notarised sale price, so use it to compare districts and trends, and check recent sales and the specific home before you make an offer.
