Selling a house in Obermenzing — with the specialist for west Munich

This depends on the micro-location, the plot, the property’s structure and its condition. A colonial-style villa on Pippinger Straße is subject to a different pricing logic to a terraced house on the border with Untermenzing. A city-wide average price per square metre is therefore of little help. A valuation that takes into account the actual prices achieved for comparable properties in the west of Munich provides a reliable guide. The first step is a free initial valuation.

Primarily families from the city who value a garden and a peaceful environment, yet still want to be able to reach the city centre quickly – as well as buyers who initially look in neighbouring Nymphenburg, and internationally-minded prospective buyers from the Christie’s network. Which group is the right fit for your property depends on its micro-location and the type of property.

In off-market sales, RIEDEL does not use property portals or public adverts, but instead offers the property specifically to pre-registered prospective buyers at the Nymphenburg branch and to contacts within its network. The exact address remains undisclosed until the buyers have undergone a thorough vetting process. This approach makes sense if you wish to protect your privacy or keep the sale out of the public eye in the neighbourhood.

There is no fixed, standard figure: in the case of owner-occupied property, the seller and buyer share the commission, and the exact amount is negotiated on a case-by-case basis and agreed in writing before the agent is commissioned. This fee covers the ongoing support throughout the sale, from the initial valuation to the signing of the deed.

Depending on the property, the asking price and the state of the market, it usually takes a few weeks to a few months from the valuation to the signing of the deed. It would be irresponsible to give a firm commitment on this. A complete set of documents and a starting price in line with the market noticeably speed up the process – and, in the case of discreet marketing, this is also because prospective buyers on the shortlist are approached directly.

Each of the five micro-locations has its own target audience: the Blutenburg neighbourhood and the streets on the western side of Nymphenburg Palace Park attract buyers seeking history and green spaces. The villa estates on Pippinger Straße appeal to lovers of historic buildings, whilst the centre and the area bordering Untermenzing appeal primarily to families. Which location is most conducive to a sale depends on the property. This is precisely what the initial consultation clarifies.
