I think these are two different discussions.
1) Does everyone definitely set their own, individual price they are willing to pay for something? Can we even form a judgment about this based on the little information about the person (credit situation, attitude to life and value creation), the environment, the location and the conditions on site?
2) If there is only one new building plot in a town and demand is very high, can one expect a bank to start a lottery procedure to decide who gets the plot? Surely it is the demand that determines the price and the way to decide who is awarded the plot? Who is selling? A bank! What interests does a bank pursue? Also, we don’t even know how the bank came to possess the plot to be able to judge why it links the sale to additional proceeds from the commission, and usually commission payments are for the bank’s broker, it is assumed that the bank certainly does not want to make any changes but rather wants to have its own efforts honored and possibly this is simply the reason why it took on the sale of the plot.
Certainly, the interest rate difference to the best conditions available on the market seems significant, but if that were the only issue, other banks would have to be criticized and their business practices questioned.
I consider it inappropriate to speak of being fooled here, and also to cite prices from 20 years ago, and in the end the bank will say no one forces it to buy the plot and unfortunately it is right about that.
Not nice, when considering one’s own interests, but unfortunately we also have to consider and take into account those of the bank if we want to discuss this frustrating and unfortunate situation for the OP objectively.
