Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

100k is probably already cheap, even if there isn't much done on the shell house. But just windows, roller shutters, roof structure, roof covering, exterior plaster cost money. And the shell construction as well. I also believe that money is still made through upgrades and that this is primarily a teaser offer that is rarely sold as is: electrically operable roller shutters, larger windows, finishing packages...

Nothing is said about windows ;) Only roller shutters

Prices for existing properties will not fall significantly. New constructions will continue to rise in price due to inflation and wage pressure, and this will pull the used market upward as well. And when interest rates start to fall again at the end of 2023, prices will rise further, as everyone currently waiting will then strike.

You are pretty much standing alone on this front—except for the head of a large real estate corporation, who of course has to make endless write-downs in a downturn and therefore would like a price increase, especially for all the properties that these corporations currently have to dispose of. But the nasty buyers are striking there.
Otherwise, the party is largely over. Those who can still "strike" have been greatly reduced in the past year. Money for grandma’s junk property is no longer coming in either, and from year to year the relevant age cohorts are getting smaller. There have also been many studies on this for years.

Yes, I'm curious. An on-site meeting is of course out of the question, I don't have that much time for something like that. I will then use Corona as an excuse and ask for a phone call. Yes, it obviously looks like a lock-in offer and the intention to push expensive change requests (additional costs) onto you. I will try to find out what is really included. The goal would be to get a construction service description and possibly a contract draft as a pdf. We'll see.

You can probably forget that. Massa Haus was our first contact when we considered building a house. Even during the conversation, neither prices nor services were disclosed. The salesperson wanted to know how much capital we wanted to invest monthly, wanted to know our entire financial situation, and then make us an offer. But even that he didn't want to send us, instead he wanted to discuss it on site with us. And ideally we should have signed right then.

somehow reminds me of my conversation with Town & Country. After that, I decided it would be better to build in EL :'D

Yes, those are the usual sales tricks. But that was still during the peak of construction, right? Now it might look different... Since no one has contacted me yet, I suspect that many are currently responding to the [special offer] and he actually still expects a good selection. We'll see, I have time...

or the salesperson is currently in Hawaii, the last few years went well ;)
