Current average purchase price per m² for houses in Frankenau: 1,800 €/m²
House prices in Frankenau have risen significantly over several years — driven by its proximity to Munich, high demand for family-friendly home ownership, and limited supply. Strong increases until 2022 were followed by a slight correction in 2023/2024, before the market recently showed renewed strength.

The property market in Frankenau is generally stable in terms of demand. The price correction of 2023/24 in Hesse was varied — the Rhine-Main area maintained its level, while rural locations saw stronger corrections. Reliable employment and a functioning housing market are stabilising the level. For sellers in Frankenau, this means a solid market position, especially for energy-refurbished existing properties and detached single-family homes. Investors in Frankenau benefit from comparatively attractive gross rental yields — typically 4.0% to 5.0% depending on the property and location. Anyone looking to buy a house or apartment in Frankenau should pay particular attention to the energy class, state of modernisation and proximity to local commuter routes. In the rental segment, demand for family-friendly 3-4 room apartments continues to exceed supply.
The data from recent years paints a clear picture of price movements for Frankenau within the Hessian market in relation to the Rhine-Main area. For single-family and terraced houses in Frankenau, the average purchase price moved from 853 €/m² in 2015 to the current 1,800 €/m² (2024) — a total change of +111.1% over 9 years, which corresponds to an average value increase of +8.7% p.a. The previous peak was reached in 2022 at 1,854 €/m²; since then, the market has corrected by -2.9% — a typical pattern in many German mid-sized markets following the interest rate turnaround. Condominiums in Frankenau started at around 810 €/m² in 2015 and are now at 1,710 €/m² (+111.1% over 9 years, Ø +8.7% p.a.). This makes them suitable as an entry point into home ownership or as an investment with a manageable ticket size. The average net cold rent in Frankenau developed from 3.22 €/m² (2015) to the current 6.80 €/m² — +111.2% over 9 years or Ø +8.7% p.a. For landlords, the continuous rent increase ensures a predictable adjustment to inflation and operating costs. The standard land value in Frankenau rose from 71 €/m² (2015) to the current 150 €/m² (+111.1% in 9 years) — an essential indicator of the structural location quality and local demand for building land. Based on current values, a rented apartment in Frankenau yields a calculated gross rental return of around 4.8% — without taking into account vacancy, maintenance and ancillary purchase costs. Experience shows that realistic net returns are 0.8 to 1.5 percentage points lower. With around 2,782 inhabitants, Frankenau generates a limited but continuous transaction volume — which means: well-prepared properties priced in line with the market are generally sold quickly, while overpriced offers remain on the market longer and lose room for negotiation. For owners in Frankenau considering a sale or letting, an individual, data-based valuation is the most important first step — it replaces estimates from online calculators that cannot account for micro-location, energy efficiency and property substance. FREITAG® provides this valuation free of charge and without obligation.
Rental yield range (approx.): 4 – 5 % gross.

Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Frankenau — concisely answered.
Many owners in Frankenau are sitting on an asset that they cannot access because they do not want to give up their home. This is precisely whatProperty annuity (Immobilienverrentung) is for: The sale takes place, but the move-out does not. Depending on the model — Usufruct, Right of abode, Life annuity or Leaseback — the purchase price is paid as a lump sum, as a monthly annuity, or as a combination of both.
Security is crucial: The right of abode (Wohnrecht) is entered in the land register (Grundbuch) in the first rank, before the buyer is registered as the owner. We will calculate for your property in Frankenau how much the usufruct (Nießbrauch) value reduces the purchase price — and whether this is more profitable compared to a traditional sale.
We approach this with an open mind. If a normal sale with a subsequent move is economically better for you, we will tell you — instead of trying to sell a property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) model that doesn't suit your needs.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Frankenau in their own property instead of in operational business. Sale & Lease-Back solves this: sale to an investor, simultaneously a long-term lease agreement that secures usage. Business operations, address, and workforce remain where they are.
A lot changes in the balance sheet — the property leaves the fixed assets, depreciation becomes rental expense. Whether this is advantageous for your company depends on the legal form, financing structure, and tax starting position; therefore, we calculate this together with your tax advisor before anything is signed.
Crucial for the achievable price are the lease agreement term, creditworthiness, and third-party usability (Drittverwendungsfähigkeit) of the property in Frankenau. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Whether a country inn, city café, hotel garni, or boarding house with an annex — for hospitality and accommodation properties in Frankenau there is a specific, manageable circle of buyers. We have known and cultivated this circle for years, instead of advertising widely.
Often, leasing is the calmer path: you retain the property in Frankenau your portfolio, hand over operational management, and receive ongoing income. We check the concept and creditworthiness of the tenant before the contract is concluded.
If the property is vacant or no longer profitable to operate, we examine repurposing — for example, into residential space, a boarding house, or practice premises. What is Frankenau legally permissible under building law, we clarify before marketing.
