Nuremberg is currently transitioning from a hidden Bavarian gem into a high-demand tech hub, causing a significant squeeze on the existing housing stock. While an average buy price of €4242/m² offers a refreshing alternative to Munich’s volatility, the lack of new-build completions in the pipeline suggests that the rental market will remain tight through 2026. My verdict: Nuremberg is a 'strong buy' for those seeking long-term stability, as the city’s industrial modernization continues to outpace residential supply.
