Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

There are also usable alternatives in a furniture store chain with Scandinavian roots;). However, we only stuck to the standard of the construction service description here, which in our opinion is already quite good. Maybe we just have low expectations. That can be an advantage in these times. I was also nervous about the heat pump; at the end of July, when I asked, the plumber said, "yes, the heat load calculation is still running and then the heat pump will be ordered sometime..." very laid-back as if you could just take it off a shelf. The general contractor tried to calm me down again these days; he said the heat pump was "probably ordered" (he himself doesn't do it but the plumber does) and he hadn't heard that the delivery time was unusually long and as long as he didn't hear anything like that, I could stay calm. Stay calm. When messages like "Viessmann won’t deliver anything more this year" are going around... Well, I probably can't change it anymore. But if it suddenly says it will come in 2023, then there will be an outcry. The heat pump could have been ordered a year ago.

Stay calm. When messages like "Viessmann won't deliver anything else this year" are going around...

And how do you want to heat? If gas gets even more expensive this winter and the back payments arrive at the beginning of the year, you'll get a heat pump at the earliest in 2024.. The price will behave like with photovoltaic systems..

And how do you want to heat?

Not at all. Then the house will only be ready to move in later. With all the resulting consequences.

I have asked repeatedly since the start of construction (January). Our site manager said that the limiting factor was not the material, but the time of the company. This was already fully booked per se, and our general contractor had to queue behind a large prefabricated house manufacturer with the orders. Initially, we were given two Stiebel Eltron models for our house. In the final contract, however, only the Stiebel Eltron LWZ 5S was specified. Therefore, I assume that a heating load calculation was done and that it fits our house, or am I on the wrong track here?

A neighbor is building here with a building materials dealer chain and he already has his heating, but the construction manager also said that the guys only have it because they, as wholesalers, of course, supply their own customers first

Our company has apparently informed all builders without heating in writing that there are no more this year "divine force"

In the half-year comparison, the real estate market has been very heterogeneous - according to ImmoScout:

In many cities and districts, real estate prices have declined by double digits in the first half of the year. According to ImmoScout data, prices fell the most in the Brandenburg district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz. From January to July, prices for condominiums there dropped by over 30 percent. Houses in Rostock recorded a nearly identical decline of 29 percent. This development is particularly impressive in the seven metropolitan cities. Berlin performs best for condominiums with a slight increase of one percent compared to the beginning of the year; otherwise, prices have fallen everywhere. With a decrease of 7.4 percent, the price decline in Munich is the most significant. Houses in Munich also became cheaper the most, by 3.1 percent. Only in Berlin have house prices continued to rise, namely by 9.8 percent since the start of the year... In July, the average price for a house in Düsseldorf was 607,000 euros, which is 6.1 percent below the level at the beginning of the year.
