Cost of a single-family house, where is the market heading?

Exactly, windows/entrance area also belong to the exterior appearance – and at the same time are closely intertwined with the interior. Therefore, you cannot only focus on "the outside is square with a gable roof = standard," but must always see the overall concept.

The garage also belongs to it, which had to be quite individual (because of the terrain slope).

A lot of money is relative – with one of the well-known house construction companies or a general contractor/principal contractor, I would certainly have paid a fortune for it (if that would have been possible at all).

Do you know Gussek Haus? Visually, your house resembles theirs quite a bit, although they are a prefabricated house provider.

Of course I know them - but as I wrote before: It is also clear to me that my rectangular house with its two flat roof extensions is not individually outstanding - but these features are by far not everything.

Some critics claim that because of the dark brick and the plaster extensions, we have the typical 2010s house . That’s true too - only we never used other houses as inspiration beforehand. So we are just unconsciously trend followers .

So, in the Black Forest, your house with brick cladding would be a hit because almost no one builds like that. We had planned something visually similar. However, a competitor offered us 2 full floors for the same price.

Yes, for that, clinker here is completely normal.

Hello,

If you just read here in the forum how many people have a hillside property, I doubt that 90% have a perfectly flat, rectangular plot - but that is also an assumption on my part.

This assumption is correct. Excluding hillside locations, there are hardly any plots that are really level; the eye can't really detect height differences. For one, 30 cm of topsoil are missing, for another, 80 cm of soil have to be removed, in past years at some point an owner created a pond or the friendly neighbor across the street "borrowed" some soil. There is really hardly a situation on a plot that I haven't experienced yet. Plots where *only* the topsoil has to be stripped are rare.

And no, my house is not standard - at least in its structure (certainly not inside). I wouldn’t have gotten that from any "well-known" house building company...

That depends on your definition of standard. If I go purely by the looks, we have it in the standard, the red colleague, Gussek Haus and many others likewise. One as a real dormer, another as executed at your house, and yet another as a barrel dormer or with a flat roof. There are countless ways to change the appearance of a house while maintaining the actual standard. Inside, every single-family house looks different anyway; even the supposed run-of-the-mill standard.

By the way, the appearance your house has was introduced years ago by Haacke Haus®; however, with a classic city villa. So every reputable provider could have built your single-family house; it’s not particularly difficult. Whether you could have contributed as much equity as you did is another matter.

I just wanted to express that you can also build with 3500-4000€ net if the plots are affordable.

Plots are unfortunately currently the problem; only then come the construction costs. Regarding this, on both sides of the coin, it still looks much better with you in MV; enjoy that.

Rhenish greetings

In some locations, the land costs around 200,000 euros and the little house with accessories another 350,000 euros. That makes a total of over 550,000 euros. Who has that? Who can finance that alone?

What do we learn from this? Always keep the beloved in a good mood

In our area, in the well-established southern part, the start was a plot of land with 544 sqm advertised for 489,000,--. From a private seller. That will go away. 100%. Crazy crazy crazy!
