Luxembourg’s Housing Market Dominated by Apartments, Ministry Report Shows

Luxembourg’s real estate market is largely made up of apartments, with the Ministry of Housing noting that the Grand Duchy also offers larger dwellings compared to its neighbours.

A new report, Note 43, from the Ministry of Housing and Regional Planning, analyses property listings across Luxembourg and the Greater Region — including parts of Lorraine, Wallonia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Saarland.

Apartments Lead in Luxembourg and Germany

Over 60% of properties listed for sale in Luxembourg are apartments, compared to more house-dominated markets in border areas such as Wallonia (74%) and Lorraine (55%). In Germany’s Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, apartments are also more common, making up 56% and 62% of listings respectively.

Luxembourg Remains the Most Expensive
Average property prices per square metre in Luxembourg are nearly three times higher than in neighbouring regions. Among border markets, prices are highest in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, while Wallonia remains the most affordable.

Larger Homes, Higher Energy Efficiency
While many apartments in Lorraine are under 70 m², Luxembourg stands out for its larger housing stock — 91% of homes for sale exceed 130 m². The Grand Duchy also leads in energy performance: 52% of listed apartments and 59% of houses fall into the most efficient categories (A or B), compared to less than 10% in neighbouring regions.

Despite some data inconsistencies across borders, the Ministry highlights Luxembourg’s ongoing push toward higher energy standards and quality housing across the country.
