That does not add up at all.
The net household income is too low. You have €4,000 per month.
After deducting the mortgage payment of €1,360, food etc. €2,000, and additional costs (heating, water, property tax, etc.) of about €500 at least, there is hardly anything left.
I have estimated €2,000 per month for food, leisure, etc. We have one child ourselves and it adds up month by month.
If a washing machine or something else breaks down, you have nothing left for that each month. Not to mention vacations, car purchases, etc.
Moreover, the installment is too low. With €485,000 and an interest rate of about 1.50%, you certainly have a repayment rate of only 2%. Too little to avoid running into trouble with a higher interest rate after 10 or 15 years.
We are currently looking for a house ourselves and will probably take out a loan of €600,000. However, at the end of the month, there is still a good €1,500 left as a safety buffer. Just plan in your calculations that the house should be paid off by retirement and that at least €500 remain after all costs are deducted. And I would not plan any income increases through further training at all. Unless these are fixed tariff level increases.
