Small update from my side:
- In the meantime, I have received a promotion that raises my net salary to €5,900 (excl. bonus)
- I had a conversation with the financial advisor, who sees a loan amount of €660,000 as feasible at about 3.9% interest (or 3.55% considering €150,000 KFW renovation loan), 15-year fixed interest period
- Equity has increased to €100,000 through stock gains
We are now considering possibly making an offer for the mentioned property.
Calculation as follows:
- €550,000 purchase price (instead of the listed €620,000)
- approx. €60,000 incidental purchase costs
- €150,000 estimated modernization measures
- Total = €760,000
- Minus €100,000 equity
- Loan = €660,000 = €3,000 installment
Income of €5,900 + €500 child benefit (+ not considered: approx. €1,000 part-time income from wife + approx. €1,000 bonus payment net broken down monthly)
So, €3,400 remain per month for all other costs (so far these costs amount to €2,750).
Would you still advise strongly against making an offer to the seller? At what purchase price would it become realistic for you?
