Does the real estate market increasingly force more families to build?

Regarding the Energy Saving Ordinance. Of course, it is also a price driver, not the only one, but one: An energy calculation must be done: 1500,- Something renewable must be installed in the house: at least 4000,- for solar thermal, everything else is more expensive Everything must be sealed with plastic. Costs? Triple glazing is required. probably also 2000,- It is hardly possible to build monolithically anymore. Costs? And the Energy Saving Ordinance is nonsense in many ways... it is often neither ecologically nor economically effective and does not take into account the insulation costs, including the ecological insulation costs. K.

It must be triple glazed.

Not necessarily. The Energy Saving Ordinance 2016 is basically the former Kfw 70, and when we built our 70-house in 2013, the hype around triple glazing wasn't even there yet. So you could still do without it if you want to build according to today's Energy Saving Ordinance. But besides the saying "you only build once," there's also the saying "whoever builds Energy Saving Ordinance-compliant, i.e. minimum standard, ends up with an energetically old shack."

Maybe, but you don’t shoot sparrows with cannons anymore, you shoot mosquitoes.
We pay 55€ monthly for heating/hot water for our 130sqm.
What advantages would KfW55 and KfW40(+) have in that case?

...It is hardly possible to build monolithically anymore. Costs ?...

480mm aerated concrete (PP1.6) should be sufficient for passive houses.

@my statement above

No subsidy, but you are right about the own contribution, a lot was done independently. Of course, it distorts the comparison somewhat, but it does not make up for 100k or 2k net.

It was always like that, even in the 60s: ordinary people built the house themselves. [Siedlerbund]! Already forgotten? Yes, today something like that is almost forgotten, but in [SH] for example still alive.

@my statement above

No subsidy, but you are right about the personal contribution, a lot was done on your own. Of course, that somewhat distorts the comparison, but it does not compensate for 100k or 2k net.

That's the difference: modest hut with a small salary, who don't complain versus a salary around 6-7000 a month, "I want what every magazine shows in glossy" and complaining about real estate prices
