Since this is my first offer in 3 years, just throwing the question out to the group: how are the prices viewed? Do you have a reference?

However, if you had read my past posts, you would have known it even before the Tagesschau.

Here, people were dreaming of falling interest rates. Below 3 percent, and my forecast of 7 percent construction interest rates was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

Inflation is only falling very slightly, completely unexpectedly. Experts had expected much less inflation. Unfortunately, consumer prices keep rising. Especially food. But now the [statistische Bundesamt] has once again changed the basket of goods used to calculate the inflation rate. So it has to go down now.

My preliminary interest rate target remains unchanged at 7 - 8 percent on an annual basis. We are already financing commercial investment goods at between 5.5 and 6 percent real. So why should construction interest rates be significantly lower?

Further interest rate hikes have already been announced by the ECB. We should actually be glad if the 8 percent construction interest rates indicate the preliminary upper limit. But even that I consider an optimistic forecast.

Despite everything, the real estate market is still relatively stable. Price pressure cannot currently be identified. It is clear, however, that it is becoming increasingly difficult to finance a property.

I had read your posts, but still consider Tagesschau to be a more reliable source. :)

Always this specious argument about income already being taxed. Strangely, this only comes up with inheritance tax.
But it is common practice. You pay VAT, car tax, sparkling wine tax, tobacco tax, mineral oil tax blabliblubb. All from once-taxed income.
So it is completely normal. You can think it's stupid, but it is simply the law.

It's just that you already paid VAT when building the house. And then you're supposed to pay inheritance tax on top of that.
It's like buying a bottle of wine in the store to give as a gift, and the recipient is supposed to pay tax on it again.

I understand the argument, but without inheritance tax, the gap between rich and poor widens even faster than it already does.

It would already be a great gain if the main purpose of taxes were understood… and no, it is not the financing of the state and no, most politicians don’t get it either.

I can no longer hear the multiple taxation “argument.”
