Financing comparison: past vs. today

One must clearly state that the median prosperity increased significantly from 2000 to 2020. Many things were deflationary, but money was spent on new gadgets. From 2010 to 2020, construction costs increased by 3-4% annually, while mortgage interest rates fell at the same time. No comparison to a construction project in 2022, which became about 50-60% more expensive than 2 years earlier (construction costs + financing combined) over the monthly repayment. This development is quite unique.

rn only buys cheap, cheap).

You also didn’t have a forest. We had the first computer in ’94. With back then 100 MB ROM and a 3.5 inch floppy drive. Building cheaply is still possible today. There is currently a result here in the forum for under 2,000 euros.

Where can I find that here in the forum?

I think it was 150sqm – so €1,500 pure construction costs, €2,100 with foundation and ancillary costs, or even more if it hadn’t been for the EL. It turned out to be a nice house – you can do something even with little money :)

However, Schnute's house construction also developed before the crisis period. But it works! Just not by watching ;)

This year we are building a 160sqm two-story house (KfW55) for €1,625 without and €2,012 with ancillary construction costs. Included are controlled residential ventilation, underfloor heating, electric blinds, and an air-to-water heat pump. However, it is a large prefab house general contractor; we are building in the East and the house is off-the-shelf without many possibilities to make changes. We agree with that and can afford such a spacious little house for just under €250k. It works if you are willing to make compromises regarding individuality.
