House price reasonable?!

Just ask at Bien-Zenker or have them make you an offer for a similar house. Then you have a reference point.

BW -> €1600 / m² minimum + incidental construction costs €30K -> €318K Depreciated over 50 years... minus 4% -> €305K + land -> €435K without ever having seen the thing, without knowing the construction specifications, without knowing the equipment. Otherwise, get an expert. Please don’t start with the wall and the paving stones... those would also be extra on top of the €318K. Likewise, you cannot mentally deduct property transfer tax... you always pay that.

I don't have any more pictures..

Hello Timo,

I have now read through the entire thread and ... am somewhat shocked.

The purchase price is 390,000€ plus broker.

If you did not also want to save on the appraiser/expert, i.e. he/she has valued the value and condition of the house according to the offer - what else do you want? You won't get cheaper than this for a nearly new house!

All the walls need to be painted because the children messed them up quite a bit. Some of the baseboards need to be fixed. Garden needs to be done.

If you were to build new - in my opinion you wouldn’t get away with the above costs and specifications - you would have to take care of these things as well; possibly even more. What do you want - a miracle? If yes, you should stay in your current place, because then it will never work out.

I already find it bad enough that the sellers are facing the ruins of their existence, and I also find it - up to a certain extent - okay that everyone wants to negotiate as well as possible. But your search here for hints to further reduce the price (this is the impression I get) I find ... we really lack the adjectives for that.

Decide based on the facts - and not on the upcoming vacation - whether you want the house or not and that’s that. I am confident that if you decide against it, another buyer will soon take care of the property and at least somewhat ease the sellers’ situation.

Rhenish greetings

Sorry construction expert, this is not about driving the price down as much as possible. I simply want to get a sense of whether the price is reasonable. And when you take into account one opinion or another here, the price is indeed a valid point of discussion. If discussion is not desired in a forum like this, then okay.. accepted! Otherwise, I am grateful for every suggestion and opinion I have been able to read so far.

As already written twice and once explained: the price is reasonable. Thank you very much, see you soon.

By the way, I agree with Bauexperte.. that sounds very much like "Gold rush mood" with you...
