It is an absolute booming region/university town, prices will continue to rise rather than fall.
Has Tübingen really become so outrageously expensive? In Pfullingen, there are newly built terraced houses with 140m2 for 630,000€, in Reutlingen-Sondelfingen a newly built single-family house, 164m2 for 633,000€. The 800,000€ for a 30-year-old house seems rather borderline to me. The standard land values in Tübingen are around 600-800€/m2, let's take 800€ and add 20% premium, then the land of the house would be worth about 400,000€. That means 400,000€ remain for the house. With 2% annual depreciation (tax approach), this means the house would have had construction costs of about 1 million € today (without land). With 140m2 that would be >7000€/m2 (without land!). The fittings must be very luxurious! If you calculate with 1% depreciation (service life single-family house 100 years) the construction costs of the house today would be 570,000€, still >4000€/m2 and that would already be well above "standard" for a new build.
