Yes, exactly. After a long time trying to sell semi-detached houses first at 550k and then at 500k each. The demand for something like that just isn't there in that backwater because people want to be able to walk around the house and have their own garden.

There is also nothing wrong with adjusting your expectations. The four of us have 88m2 of living space in a small townhouse with 3 residential floors. Since it is an old building, we have a full basement and outbuildings like a garage and a shed. But for that, we didn’t have to go into debt for life, and when the children move out, we have plenty of space. You also save on insurance, renovations, heating, and less cleaning is always good anyway. By the way, I hardly know anyone who lives in palaces, as seems to be the standard here in the forum. Most people live in normal houses or rental apartments and manage just fine.

For home use, the KAIWEETS T03 is also sufficient. There are very good devices under 100 EUR.

Everything is correct. But in this case, you get 50sqm, no basement, and as far as I understand the listing, no attic either. I find that really impractical even for a childless couple, as there are no storage options at all. There are no outbuildings because the floor area ratio of 0.4 should already be massively exceeded (I have to recalculate that over the weekend) even though 4 parking spaces are still missing for the structure. Basically, the entire plot is built up except for a few setback strips. And then we are talking about >5000€/sqm in the middle of nowhere, which is no bargain anymore either. You can't compare it to your case.

I was more concerned with the real wage development and the development of wealth distribution since 1990, which here leads to the well-known "you have to tighten your belt in tough times". Without questioning whether everyone really has to do that and why not. Yes, whoever finds a fixer-upper for little money can save an incredible amount of money with a lot of own effort. But there aren’t that many houses where that works well, and most people don’t dare do it – often with good reason and sometimes also not permissible (electricity, partly plumbing). In the 1980s and 1990s, you could afford a decent house with one income and some own effort. Today you need double incomes with one year of parental leave and then both parts working 90%+ again etc. I am now at the second house with renovation/restoration. What that costs you’re not even allowed to say here, others buy themselves a garage for that.
