Now we have €4000 and can save €1000, but now of course the Baukindergeld is also tempting. Which amounts to 30k in Bavaria as well as the 10k state land grant. If this €40,000 lasted longer, I would also like to save for five more years. But then the subsidy expires.
Don’t let the Baukindergeld drive you. You are currently saving €1000 per month, which compensates for the Baukindergeld. Saving for 5 years would be an extra €60,000, and I’m sure another great subsidy will come within 5 years. Prices will also rise a bit again, but that’s how it is. The financing will still be healthier, maybe you will be earning more again and other costs like daycare will be gone.
But something else: if the plots are so expensive, then you simply have to commute further away. Or buy an existing property. It doesn’t matter how much % local resident discount you get if you can’t afford it. First, 100% is added, then 50% discount promised and you want to buy anyway because it’s supposedly so cheap. How does it look in the surrounding area?
With the local resident discount, it’s like with the Baukindergeld... you are afraid to miss out on a supposed special offer. Free yourselves from such thoughts. And be sure to clarify what the house really costs and what additional costs still have to be paid.
