So about the price: only the market situation can show you whether the price is justified.
Basically, you should have the house inspected by an expert.
Primarily, the personal impression when walking through the rooms must be right: I want to live here! you have to say that in your head. After all, the floor plan must fit your personal life.
A 30-year-old house needs renovation; partly to a considerable extent – windows may be outdated, the heating system needs to be replaced. The energy values mean nothing to me as a layman, but they probably do not correspond to what you are paying now. So quite possibly, you can still invest a large sum of money in an aging house. Older houses usually have more charm than new builds, which should not be underestimated. It’s also about preserving value, but that costs money. Whether the walls seem more solid or actually are, I don’t care and it’s irrelevant to me. Timber frame is not solid, yet not bad or inferior. I would certainly not put a house on a priority list based on that. Ultimately, it depends on whether there is a good living atmosphere and coziness.
Is it great to have only high earners or academics as neighbors? For me, it’s the mix... usually, a simple craftsman next door is more relaxed and straightforward.
