: Yes, I didn’t look at Jübek yesterday evening because it is definitely outside of our search area. If I were to expand the area that far, I might as well move to Schwansen... so once across the Schlei. That’s “only” 30km away from where we currently live, but that would mean we’d need two decent cars and our social network would definitely be gone. You don’t have to understand that, but please tolerate it.
Our bus connections here in the countryside are still very underdeveloped, which means the child’s previous circle of friends is definitely gone (maybe they’ll meet again at high school someday). The train doesn’t help either.
But of course I understand your main point... better to pay a bit more once and be reasonably sure about surprises than to take a surprise egg and hope it works out. So far, though, it has also been the case that the somewhat higher-priced properties were ready to move in right away and maybe fine for the next 5 to 10 years, but bigger things like the roof and windows would have come up soon, so mentally you also consider a possible full renovation (and thus peace of mind for a while) with a cheaper purchase price.
Yesterday I walked past a property offered here in town. Listed for a bidding procedure with a starting bid of 300 k. 265 sqm living space semi-detached house... when I saw that, I just thought “how do you even come up with a price like that???”. From the outside I would maybe guess 150 k... Well... the original listing is now gone and a new one is listed as “price proposals requested”.
