Market analysis 2025: Zabo as a safe haven
The year 2025 was characterised by selective demand. Buyers were specifically looking for locations that offered both quality of life and long-term value stability. Zabo fulfilled these criteria more than almost any other location. Properties near the forest and around the Valznerweiher pond were particularly sought-after.
Price development and demand index
In Zabo, the average price per square metre for houses remained stable at a high level in 2025. While the market as a whole was subject to fluctuations, premium properties in Zabo even recorded slight increases.

| Detached house (detached) | Stable / slightly rising | Very high |
| Semi-detached house | Stable | High |
| Terraced house | Constant | Moderate |
Factors for value stability:
- A closeness to nature: Direct access to the Lorenzer Reichswald forest remained a key selling point for families.

- Demographics: A healthy mix of long-established residents and young newcomers stabilised the market.
Challenges when selling a house in 2025
Despite the favourable situation, the market was no longer a sure-fire success. Sellers had to take a more strategic approach in 2025 than in previous years, as buyers were much more critical when scrutinising the building fabric and energy performance indicators.
Success factors for owners:
- Energetic state: Homes with a modern heating system or PV system achieved significantly faster completions.
- Transparent documentation: Complete documentation was a prerequisite for a swift bank commitment from the buyers in 2025.
- Realistic assessment: A well-founded market analysis was crucial to avoid „burning“ properties on the market.
