This is what is stated in the link: Value-added tax: The sale of the property is exempt from VAT (§ 4 No. 9a UStG). However, the services of the architect and the construction craftsmen are subject to VAT according to the general rules.

You are. A land/house purchase (I include the general contractor contract and developer contract) is always a VAT nuisance, meaning without VAT shown for the buyer.

You mean in the sense of "bad for a buyer entitled to deduct, because it is included but cannot be deducted"? – that would be irrelevant for the typical private builder.

Exactly. Irrelevant for the end consumer. However, for the developer as well, since he passes on his purchase prices increased by VAT to the final buyer (who "does not see" the VAT).

That is correct, no sales/VAT, but real estate transfer tax on everything.
