Health & Tourism as Growth Drivers

Bad Steben is recording steady growth in domestic tourists, health-conscious seniors and part-time residents. Occupancy of holiday apartments and rehabilitation guesthouses is rising continuously – especially around the thermal baths and the clinic. This creates ideal conditions for investors focusing on furnished letting or accessible living.

The town is investing in local recreation, cycle paths, digital infrastructure and the modernisation of the thermal baths. Subsidy programmes of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs are also strengthening Bad Steben as a health location in the long term.

Airbnb, Short-Term Lets & Second Homes – the New Bad Steben

In the last three years, the number of privately run holiday apartments has risen by more than 30%. More and more investors from southern Germany are discovering Bad Steben as an alternative to expensive conurbations. Thanks to its high quality of life, parks, health infrastructure and good transport links, the town is also very popular with people looking for a second home.

Demand for accessible, fully furnished flats with short contract terms is growing strongly. We have already successfully brokered several such properties – including furnishing, rental model & handover service.

Commercial, Hotels & Renovation Properties – Our Added Value

Bad Steben offers not only housing but also economic potential for businesses and operators of hotel or spa properties. In cooperation with investors, in recent years we have, among other things, converted a period villa into a successful rehabilitation guesthouse and transformed a vacant restaurant into a boutique hotel.

We help with change of use, selecting subsidies, energy advice and marketing – discreetly and with a real understanding of target groups.
