I am single and have been considering ending my rental contract for quite some time and buying my own place. I can afford between 800 and 900 euros per month. My current cold rent is 600 euros. Equity 30,000 euros. Not very experienced with DIY, no friends who are craftsmen either.
I live in the Augsburg suburbs.
Following considerations:
1. A new condo with 3 rooms, garage, 80 sqm and balcony in a village costs between 250,000 and 280,000 euros, 6 units in the building, monthly fees 250 euros. I could easily afford that and I would probably be finished shortly after starting retirement.
2. But then I think: If a new condo costs that much, then why not: Buy a small plot of land with 300 sqm, 250 euros per sqm, that makes 75,000 euros. Then a turnkey prefab house for 180,000 euros without a basement but with garage, size 100 sqm + 30,000 euros additional construction costs? Similar price but own house.
3. Or buy nothing new: Older condo for 180,000 euros and that’s it. Problem: At this price range there have been no nice apartments with 3 rooms for months, at least not online.
What would you advise me?
Oh yes, I also keep finding prefab houses with land from the well-known provider with 5 letters, which are "turnkey" for under 200,000 euros. But since the advisor did not come back after a visit (I probably wasn’t very decisive), that is rather not an option.
