In the German real estate market, properties with an integrated swimming pool represent a significant rarity. This is according to a current analysis by the company eXp Germany, which has closely examined the current supply structures. The study focused on the characteristics of properties offered for sale to paint a precise picture of market availability.
The results of the analysis reveal that only 1.2 per cent of properties currently offered in Germany have their own swimming pool. This low figure underscores the exclusive character of properties with this specific feature. Data was collected through a systematic evaluation of market listings, with a focus on clearly defined equipment features.
Implications for buyers and sellers
For interested parties explicitly seeking a property with a swimming pool, this low availability means a restricted choice and potentially higher demand in this niche segment. The analysis suggests that owning a swimming pool represents a clear distinguishing feature in the German property stock and can therefore also influence the value of corresponding properties.
The observed rarity of properties with their own pool in Germany may contrast with perceptions or expectations shaped by international markets. The results from eXp Germany thus provide a data-backed basis for assessing the market situation. They confirm the thesis that a private swimming pool in Germany still remains a luxury feature, accounting for only a very small proportion of the overall market.
Regional distribution and future developments
Although the present analysis by eXp Germany adopts an all-German perspective, regional differences in the availability of properties with pools could exist. A more in-depth investigation of specific regions or metropolitan areas could provide further differentiated insights. However, the general trend of a low proportion of properties with swimming pools in the German real estate market is clearly visible. It remains to be seen whether future developments, for example in the area of energy efficiency for pools, will bring about a change in this proportion.
