Houses and Flats for Sale in Nuremberg, Bavaria

The old town sits beneath the Imperial Castle, and the city is known for its Christmas market and a heavy Second World War history, now documented in museums. Large employers, a university and the trade fair support steady demand. Public transport includes U-Bahn, trams and an airport inside the city. Neighbouring Fürth and Erlangen are part of the same urban area.

Our data lists one location as Erlenstegen, a district in the city's east, so parts of the stock are suburban. Nuremberg also has long-standing heritable building rights, which means some homes sit on land you lease rather than own.

Foreigners can buy freely in Germany. Bavaria charges the country's lowest property transfer tax, 3.5%. Notary and land-register fees add around 1.5 to 2%, and agent commission is split between buyer and seller on homes, so total buyer costs are often 7 to 10%; verify locally. A notary prepares and records the contract, and the buyer is registered in the land register.

Non-resident mortgages exist but with larger deposits. See the Germany buying guide, the financing page and the Germany overview.

Ingolstadt and Regensburg are the next big Bavarian markets, each roughly an hour and a half away. Berlin is far to the north-east and is a different market altogether.
