Stagnation despite demand
As Lord Mayor Tobias Eschenbacher recently explained to the press, the project on Johann-Braun-Straße has come to a standstill - despite all the preparations. Although the so-called EOF (income-oriented funding) was firmly planned, the applications for funding throughout Bavaria in 2024 far exceeded the available budget at 1.865 billion euros. In the end, only around 690 million euros were available. Private investors or building groups such as wagnisFreiSam also face similar challenges.
One of the main points of criticism is that the state-owned BayernHeim-GmbH, which builds social housing itself, also accesses the same funding pot - and receives a disproportionate share.
What does this mean for people looking for housing?
The bottleneck in new construction projects has concrete consequences:
Fewer new apartments on the market, especially in the affordable segment
Increasing pressure on existing properties
Delays in municipal and cooperative construction projects
Uncertainty for investors, as funding commitments are lacking
This is a critical development, especially in a sought-after location such as Freising - with its proximity to Munich Technical University, the airport and the booming Munich metropolitan region. The lack of new living space particularly affects families, single parents and older people with lower incomes.
Used properties: An (often underestimated) alternative
In this tight market, pre-owned properties are gaining in importance - whether for owner-occupation or as an investment. Why?
✅ Immediately available: In contrast to planned new builds, a pre-owned apartment can be occupied or rented out promptly.
✅ Solid construction: Many buildings from the 1960s to 1990s are technically sound and can be upgraded through targeted modernization.
✅ Stable value: Especially in sought-after locations such as Neustift, Lerchenfeld or the city center, prices have developed positively in the long term.
✅ Funding opportunities for refurbishment: Those who modernize their homes to make them more energy-efficient often benefit from KfW grants or tax relief - although not to the same extent as for new construction projects.
✅ Negotiating leeway: The current interest rate situation has made some sellers more willing to compromise - it is worth taking a closer look here.
Conclusion: Anyone looking now should keep an eye on the stock
The construction of new social and subsidized housing in Freising has come to a standstill - and there seems to be no end in sight to this blockade as long as no additional funding is made available. So anyone currently looking for a home or thinking about investing should seriously consider second-hand properties.
Tip: A well-located apartment in need of modernization can become a real dream home - or a solid capital investment - with the right strategy. And: If you buy today to live in yourself, you will make yourself independent of the rental market in the long term.
