Increasing value by buying a garage: an insider tip for 2025

Buying a garage is still one of the most effective and uncomplicated ways to increase the value of your property. Especially in times of rising real estate prices and increasing urban density, this investment is becoming even more important for increasing the value of your home. The 2025 property market shows that both private homeowners and investors are increasingly recognizing the benefits of prefabricated garages.

 

Why garages increase property value

Prefabricated concrete garages are no longer just practical parking spaces for vehicles – they offer a wide range of benefits that both increase property value and open up passive income opportunities.

In densely populated urban areas, parking is increasingly becoming a luxury. A concrete garage not only offers protection against weather influences such as snow, hail, or strong sunlight, but also reduces the risk of damage caused by vandalism or theft. Especially for families, commuters, or people with high-value vehicles, a garage represents a decisive added value.

Studies show that buyers are prepared to pay a significantly higher purchase price for this additional convenience and increased security. Properties with a garage are more in demand and sell more quickly, which gives owners a clear competitive advantage by increasing the value of their home.

A ZAPF garage contributes significantly to the resale value of a property. Particularly in large cities such as Munich, Hamburg, or Frankfurt, a garage can add up to 40,000 euros to the value of a property.

But even in medium-sized cities or rural regions, the increase in value is often between 15,000 and 30,000 euros, depending on the location, the furnishings, and the local real estate prices.

As the number of electric vehicles increases, so does the demand for secure parking facilities with integrated charging options. A garage equipped with a modern charging station not only makes the property more attractive but also sets it apart from the competition. Such future-oriented investments can also significantly increase the value of the property.

In addition to the immediate increase in value, a garage also ensures sustainable value retention. Vehicles remain in better condition thanks to the protected storage, which is particularly attractive for classic car owners or people with high-quality vehicles.

 

Passive income from garage rental

Garages not only add value, but also offer lucrative income opportunities. Particularly in urban areas, renting out garages or parking spaces can be a lucrative source of income.

In major German cities such as Berlin, Cologne or Frankfurt, monthly rents of between 150 and 200 euros can be achieved for well-located garages. In districts with high parking pressure or close to offices, shopping centers, and train stations, even higher incomes are possible.

Urban densification and the associated parking problems are leading to a continuous demand for parking space. This makes garages a crisis-proof investment that is characterized by high occupancy rates.

A particular advantage of garage rentals in Germany is that they are not subject to the rent cap. This means that landlords can flexibly adjust prices to the market situation – a significant advantage over renting out residential space.

The protection of vehicles is a decisive factor that further increases the value of garages. A vehicle that is stored in a garage remains in good condition for longer and incurs lower maintenance costs. For owners of electric cars, a private garage with charging infrastructure is indispensable and also ensures sustainable use of the vehicle.

The average return on garage rentals in 2025 will be around 6-8%. In prime locations, these figures can even be exceeded. In Düsseldorf, prices for garages have tripled in the last 20 years – a clear sign of the sustainability of this investment.

Owners can claim maintenance and modernization costs against tax. In addition, a garage offers advantages when assessing real estate loans, as banks take the additional value into account.

Garage owners who equip their parking facilities with charging stations not only benefit from state subsidies but also make an important contribution to promoting electromobility. Incidentally, installing a wallbox for an electric car is effortless in a ZAPF garage.

 

Practical tips for 2025

  • Choice of location: Garages in central locations or near train stations and shopping centers achieve higher rents and increase the property value more strongly.
  • Quality over quantity: High-quality prefabricated concrete garages offer longevity and low maintenance costs, which increases the return on investment in the long term.
  • Install charging options: A garage with an integrated charging station for electric cars is not only future-proof but also a selling point.

 

Conclusion: garages – an investment that pays off!

Buying a garage is a smart investment that pays off in many ways. Whether as an increase in the value of your property, as an additional source of income, or as a protective measure for vehicles, garages offer sustainable and attractive benefits. Particularly in urban areas or regions with high demand for parking facilities, a garage becomes a decisive plus point for both owners and potential buyers. Anyone investing in a garage in 2025 will not only secure financial benefits but also contribute to infrastructure and sustainability.
