What are you calculating?
What exactly do you want to express with your concluding sentence?
Probably FoMo - last-minute panic - the prices for houses on the outskirts of a metropolitan area have almost doubled in 5-6 years, now at the same interest rate level again. Salaries have not kept up with this. What comes next? Open. But more and more people are wondering whether there might already be a peak.
Banks simply don’t finance everything, and with current prices of 800,000 for simple houses built after 2000, many families are simply priced out. Without 200,000€ or more in equity and about 7,000€ net income per month, it will not be manageable. Those are today’s prices. In a year, brokers and sellers would like 900,000€ for them. So again, more buyers fall out of the potential circle. Don’t forget - these existing properties are not something high-end, but rather normal/average at the time. So nothing that a DINK consultant/lawyer couple would normally pick. They could still afford that, but would they see themselves living in such a location?
That’s the problem with book prices. You know the price was 15%, 20% lower 3 years ago. But the house itself hasn’t changed — it has only aged. If you buy now at a sky-high price, this price is fixed for 30 years, with all the risks involved in repayment and refinancing. Real estate ideally shouldn’t be this volatile. But now it is, and the question of the laws of gravity always arises — what goes up must come down.
