In the national comparison, the Coesfeld district is well there: the cut in North Rhine-Westphalia is only 22.3. It is particularly striking that Münster records the highest quota with 46.5, while Oberhausen has 5.6 the lowest.
challenges and declines
The challenges that the industry is facing are considerable. associationsbuero.de reports that affordable living space will be one of the most urgent social challenges in Germany in 2025. For example, construction costs rose by 3.1%in November 2024, which represents additional hurdles for construction projects. The permits for single-family and two-family houses fell by 19.9% from January to November 2024, while those for apartment buildings decreased by 22.4%
The forecast for 2025 provides for another difficult year for the construction industry. Tim-Oliver Müller, managing director of the main association of the German construction industry, confirms that these negative developments are not surprising. The new federal government faces the task of developing clear support programs and streamlining bureaucracy in order to facilitate housing construction. A stable market environment is necessary to promote investments and to reduce the pressure on the housing market.
The call for political measures
The political decision -making power is crucial for future development. This is not only underlined by the need for a stable market environment, but is also evident in concern about the lack of affordable living space, which could lead to social tensions. In a similar way, other European countries also report comparable problems, which underlines the urgency of the topic.
In order to boost housing construction, access to financing options for construction companies is of great importance. Mortgical interest rates have to be stabilized to promote investments. As Müller emphasizes: "Only what will be approved tomorrow will be built the day after tomorrow." The coming months will be crucial to cope with the existing challenges in housing and set the course for sustainable development.
