What Berlin sublets are asking
Nobody publishes what Berlin sublets ask. The Mietspiegel covers permanent leases, and short lets are scattered across group chats and listing sites that report nothing. We read them anyway, so here is the series.
These are asking rents from public posts, de-duplicated across groups. Use them, quote them, chart them. A link back to Berlin Flat Finder is all we ask. If you are writing something and want a cut we do not publish, mail hello@henrystanley.com.
Median ask, by month
All offers with a stated price. The room and whole-flat columns split the same set by what was being let. Without that split the headline number is hard to read, because a rising median can just mean more whole flats.
| Month | Offers | Median | Room | vs prev. | Whole flat | Stay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05 part | 2 | — | — | — | — | — |
| 2026-07 | 9 | €990 | — | — | €1,900 | — |
| 2026-08 | 1,998 | €810 | €650 | — | €1,210 | 61d |
| 2026-09 | 12,062 | €775 | €640 | -1.5% | €1,250 | 92d |
| 2026-10 part | 5,014 | €730 | €640 | 0.0% | €1,150 | 92d |
Rows marked part are not a whole month: the month in progress, and the one the corpus starts in. Their counts are not comparable with the rest. Their medians are.
Median ask, by type of let
Last 30 days. The 10th and 90th percentiles show the spread, because a median alone hides how wide the range is. Types with fewer than five priced offers are left out.
| Type | Offers | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole flat | 3670 | €1150 | €610–2000 |
| Studio | 1246 | €850 | €500–1250 |
| Co-living | 343 | €780 | €560–999 |
| WG-Zimmer | 3692 | €640 | €490–800 |
| Friendly WG | 1299 | €635 | €456–850 |
Median ask, by neighbourhood
Last 30 days. Sorted by the typical WG room, which is the closest thing to a comparable unit across districts. Neighbourhoods with fewer than five priced offers are left out.
| Neighbourhood | Offers | Room | All types | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kreuzberg | 695 | €680 | €780 | |
| Wilmersdorf | 261 | €672 | €790 | |
| Charlottenburg | 619 | €670 | €780 | |
| Friedrichshain | 884 | €665 | €800 | |

Method, and what these numbers are not
Source. Every figure comes from public listings in the Berlin housing and sublet group chats and listing sites we read. A scraper reads them hourly, and each post goes through a language model that extracts the facts: neighbourhood, monthly price, dates, length, and whether it is a room in a shared flat or a whole place. Posts from people looking for a flat are excluded. Only offers count.
De-duplication. The same flat is often posted to five groups at once and re-posted a week later. Everything here is folded to one row per distinct post text, keeping the newest copy, before anything is counted or averaged. Without that the counts roughly triple and the medians shift towards whoever cross-posts most.
These are asking prices, not agreed rents. Nobody tells us what was finally agreed, so this is the advertised price. Sublet asks are also usually furnished and all-inclusive, which is why they sit above the Kaltmiete figures in the Mietspiegel and are not comparable with them.
Medians, not means. The distribution has a long right tail (corporate relocation lets, a whole flat in Mitte), and a few of those move a mean by fifty euros. Where a page shows a range, it is the 10th to 90th percentile, for the same reason.
Suppression. Nothing is published from fewer than five observations. A median of three is not a reliable figure, and this page is meant to be quotable.
What we cannot tell you. The obvious question is how fast a listing goes. We cannot measure it and we will not approximate it. A post in a group chat is rarely deleted when the room is taken, while an ad on a listing site usually does come down, so “disappeared” means two different things depending on the source. Averaging across that would produce a meaningless number. If that changes, it will appear here.
Coverage. This is the market as it appears in the sources we read. That is a large share of Berlin’s Zwischenmiete traffic but not all of it, and it skews towards English-speaking and newly arrived people. It says nothing about the permanent rental market.

When Berlin sublets get posted: the hour of day and day of week the Telegram groups are busiest. The listing sites cannot produce this figure, because neither publishes a real send time.
