Hypoport SE: Business Volume in Private Real Estate Financing Rises Significantly in the First Half of 2025

• Europace transaction volume for real estate financing increased by 23% year-on-year in H1/25

• Cooperative banks with a marked increase of 31% year-on-year; savings banks up 23% year-on-year

• Dr. Klein private customer sales volume up 23% year-on-year

• Business models in the Financing Platforms segment maintained solid volumes despite a weak market environment

• Customer acquisition momentum on the residential property management platform continued at a high level

Berlin, 16 July 2025 – The operational key figures for Hypoport Group’s business models in private real estate financing developed positively in the first half of 2025. The Financing Platforms segment presented a mixed picture.

Primarily driven by an improved market environment in private real estate financing, the combined volume of the Europace, Finmas, and Genopace platforms rose significantly by 23% year-on-year in the first half of 2025. The volume for Dr. Klein Privatkunden AG also grew strongly, recording an increase of 23%. This growth was mainly supported by loan volumes for the purpose of purchasing existing properties. This trend is partly a consequence of a steadily deteriorating rental market, which is becoming increasingly unattractive and unsustainable for a growing proportion of the population. Despite expanding regulation and the resulting high construction costs, loan volumes for new builds increased again from a low base. Borrowings for refinancing maturing fixed-interest loans rose slightly from a very low level, while loans for energy-efficient renovations by existing owners remained low.

The abrupt interest rate spike in March – triggered by the announcement of increased German government debt – led to the anticipated pull-forward effects, resulting in transaction volumes in Q2 being somewhat lower than in Q1 2025, as expected.

Dr. Klein Wowi Finanz arranged a slightly higher loan volume for the residential economy sector related to rental housing new builds and energy-efficient renovations compared to the extremely low level of the previous year. The increase in managed residential units on the housing management platform Dr. Klein Wowi Digital remained high at over 50%. The strong rise in business volume within corporate financing at REM Capital, as seen in Q1, was driven by a changed product mix towards smaller, lower-margin projects.

A detailed breakdown of the key figures across all three segments can be found in the table below.
