House purchase single-family house built in 77 how to assess?

I find the argument so funny that soon many old people will die and then the houses would come on the market. Currently, many choose to live in grandma's old house themselves rather than having no house at all. I estimate that in the near future, really only the worst junk properties will come on the market; the good ones will already find interested parties within the family. Currently, I know of two houses alone where the heirs are bitterly fighting over who gets them and who has to be paid out.

I see it the same way. We will definitely not put the houses in our family on the market if they ever become "free." The grandchildren are already waiting for them. Especially not those in good locations.

I experience it differently: heirs who are already (not particularly wealthy) retirees themselves face obligations for energetic modernization and the house bank encourages a sale. These are not exactly market objects, but "dilapidated properties" is a bit harshly insulted.

They are not really marketable properties, but "dump real estate" is a bit harsh.

I see it differently. In our rural area, there is still something to find, but what is being offered here is either building land or junk. There is nothing in between.

Exactly, overpriced offers on the internet with junk value or securing well-preserved objects through personal contact. For the same money. There is nothing else here.

Increasing the search radius, however, I would not equate with shooting with buckshot, but rather with going from stand hunting in your own garden to stalking. This can be done equally with a shotgun or a rifle, and the choice of the shooting device should rather depend on the prey.

That's fine, but unfortunately most property or portfolio seekers do not stalk. Instead, it’s stand hunting without the slightest change of perspective, only with increasingly large-caliber rifles.

The point was that everything about which the heirs do not fight each other is immediately junk, and that is not true in such a general way. Of course, the quality of the offers that make it onto the internet cannot be compared with those of the deep market. Good properties are traded through personal contact – where else? Everyone just has to ask themselves whom they would want to deal with if they had a good property to offer: solvent, serious, likeable interested parties or Mr. General Director Heinrich Haffenloher from "Kir Royal," wannabes, just-looking-around types, and last-price colleagues?
