Hypoport SE: Business volume in private real estate financing continues to rise in Q1 2025

• Europace transaction volume for mortgages increased by over 30% year-on-year in Q1 2025.
• Cooperative banks experienced a significant increase of 46% year-on-year, while savings banks recorded a rise of 33% year-on-year.
• Sales volume for Dr. Klein Private Clients grew by 31% year-on-year.
• The brokerage volume on the Dr. Klein Wowi financing platform started with a very weak market environment in 2025.
• The dynamics of customer acquisition on the property management platform continued at a high level.

Berlin, April 17, 2025: The operational figures for the business models of the Hypoport Group in mortgage (Real Estate & Mortgage Platforms segment) showed very positive development in the first quarter of 2025. However, the figures of the Financing Platforms segment presented a mixed picture.

Due to an improved market environment and market share gains, the volume of the platforms Europace, Finmas, and Genopace rose significantly by approximately 34% year-on-year. The volume of Dr. Klein Private Clients also developed strongly, increasing by 31%. In particular, the loan volume for the purchase of existing properties grew disproportionately. This is also a consequence of a steadily deteriorating rental market, which has become increasingly unattractive or inaccessible for a growing portion of the population. The abrupt rise in interest rates by around 30 basis points in early March –triggered by the announcement of the German debt package – led previously hesitant consumers to make more transactions, further boosting the volume. Due to the U.S. foreign economic policy, interest rates for mortgages have nearly returned to the level of late February. The credit volume for new construction is slightly increasing from a very low base, despite ongoing strong regulation and resulting high construction costs. Loan uptake for refinancing (maturing interest locks) and for energy-efficient renovations by existing owners remains low.

The relevant credit demand for Dr. Klein Wowi in the residential sector for new rental housing construction and energy-efficient renovations declined significantly again, despite already weak volume in 2024, while market share gains on the residential management platform Dr. Klein Wowi Digital accelerated even further compared to 2024.

You can find the detailed development of the key figures for all three segments in the table below.
