Defensive offer, or have house prices become so expensive?

What it has been about all along - nothing more, nothing less. How fair or unfair the inheritance tax is, one could debate again with philosophers. But in the house construction forum, it's about houses and their owners - I thought.

Once again, it cannot be in the interest of a state to relieve the richest in parallel with their rising incomes. And with a property of that value, you belong to the richest people. 90% of the population will not have this problem. The state cannot take responsibility for your emotional attachment.

Haha, never. You have no idea what real wealth is, I'm afraid. A house - even in the countryside now already costs 800K if you build it. Who do you think would then count among the richest people? Look at the projects here. I don’t want to put anyone in the spotlight now, but they are all between 700 and 800K on a plain plot in a new development area. Now transfer that to the big cities. A regular house here no longer goes under 1 million. Add a bit of garage and a somewhat larger piece of land and you already have 1.7 million. This is not a castle we are talking about here - it is still a single-family home. You are completely blinded by the big numbers. That is really fascinating - no wonder that advertising with 20% discount works so well.

Here are the figures from 2017, also clearly showing that the exemption amount only poses a problem for those who could actually afford the taxes without any issues. [ATTACH alt="abwehr-angebot-oder-sind-hauspreise-so-teuer-geworden-558077-1.jpg"]69698[/ATTACH]

Do real estate properties count towards net worth?

Yes. Minus the debts, of course. That's why your comparison of the new builds with your house doesn't work.
