The change in fair value of residential properties held for sale, for which a purchase contract had been signed but for which transfer of title had not yet taken place, led to a gain of € 87.4 million as of December 31, 2021 (2020: € 78.2 million).

The increase in income from the sale of assets held for sale mainly results from the transfer of benefits and encumbrances in the fourth quarter of 2021 for two portfolio transactions of the Deutsche Wohnen Group with a total of 3,126 units in Rhineland-Palatinate, which were visited in May 2021 and certified in August 2021.
