ImmobilienScout24

ImmobilienScout24 (IS24) is Germany’s largest and most comprehensive online property portal, listing millions of apartments and houses for rent and sale across every German city and region. With over 20 years of operation and more than 13 million users per month, IS24 is the essential starting point for any property search in Germany.

For expats arriving in Germany, ImmobilienScout24 is typically the first destination for finding an apartment. The portal aggregates listings from private landlords, estate agencies, and property management companies, providing a comprehensive view of what is available in any given city at any given time. Advanced search filters allow users to narrow by size, price, number of rooms, building age, and proximity to specific addresses.

Beyond search, IS24 provides valuable market information: price comparisons by neighbourhood, average rent indices by city, and market trend data that helps prospective tenants and buyers understand whether a listed price is reasonable. The portal also hosts guides on topics like the German rental application process and what to look for in a tenancy agreement.

IS24’s mobile app is widely used and allows prospective renters to set alerts for new listings matching their criteria — critical in competitive markets like Berlin and Munich where desirable apartments receive dozens of applications within hours of listing.
