In the first nine months of 2025, building permits were issued or permit exemption procedures were completed for 41,237 apartments in Bavaria. This is an increase of 13.4 percent compared to the same period last year. Construction Minister Christian Bernreiter: This is a very pleasing result! Housing construction was in crisis nationwide - in Bavaria we have managed to turn things around! Now we need to go one step further: With the first three modernization laws, we quickly reduced bureaucratic hurdles - the fourth is already on the way. The housing subsidies are at a record level - and Bavaria will add another billion in housing construction on top. We will massively streamline the funding guidelines and so With building type-e we are showing in Bavaria how easy it is to build affordable housing!
In the last three years, building permits, particularly for apartments, have fallen significantly nationwide: The reasons for this were increased interest rates, sharp increases in construction costs and uncertain federal funding. There had been signs of a trend reversal since the beginning of the year. The Bavarian State Government was able to provide effective impetus and initiate numerous construction projects with the Bavarian Housing Booster, particularly with Baunova Bayern and socially subsidized housing construction. The Bavarian State Office for Statistics today published the building permit numbers for residential buildings for the first three quarters of 2025: The increasing number of permits in recent months has now made a significant leap upwards. Significantly more apartments were approved for apartment buildings, single-family homes and dormitories, among other things, compared to the same period last year.
