Hello dear ones,
due to acute uncertainty, I registered here today to get advice regarding my private project.
Project:
Purchase of a semi-detached house from a private seller, built in 2013, 10-year-old gas condensing boiler with 2x solar, 120 sqm living space, 410 sqm plot in 26188 including kitchen, carport, and conservatory for €329,000 (final negotiated price).
Basics:
She (31), he (33) with son (5 months).
Nothing will be inherited, our equity currently amounts to a measly €76,000, of which I would like to contribute about €56,000 (corresponding to 89.87% loan-to-value) to the financing.
I have attached our household budget as a JPG.
It contains all our costs (average last 12 months).
Concerns:
My wife has fallen in love with the house and would like to move. I can also well imagine living in that location.
Since we will not inherit anything and have had to save everything ourselves with great effort, I am now starting to have doubts. Politically and economically, a lot is happening right now, like always.
We have summarized our costs very precisely in the calculation (yes, there are high items included).
The present financing offer at 4.57% nominal interest with €56k equity and approx. 30 years term comes to €1,500 and leaves a positive residual amount in the household budget of ultimately €1,600.
That is basically only for reserves, retirement provision, repairs – but it still worries me because I currently have significantly higher savings amounts.
I am very risk-averse and like security. This long term confuses me a lot and I am afraid of making a wrong decision for my family that will lead us into a financial fiasco.
I would be very happy to receive answers.
Many greetings from the North

[*]How do you see the overall situation?
[*]Would you do it? If not, what would you change or why wouldn’t you do it?
[*]I am good with crafts, so I could also imagine an older house where you have to do a lot yourself. Unfortunately, the prices for single-family homes are still too high for me and I hardly see any price changes in our region so that we can find something inexpensive. How do you deal with that?
