That's true. You mentally reduce the desired house by 10-20%, leave out the double garage, and suddenly the price increases of recent years are accounted for again, making it affordable once more.
But as already said, there is no indication whatsoever that it will become significantly cheaper again in the short term, meaning within 2-3 years. The key interest rate is being raised and will remain so for some time, just as energy costs will not return to the 2019 level in the long term.
A market comes to a standstill most strongly exactly when one faction of participants firmly believes they only have to wait a little longer for a change in favor of the buyers, and the other faction holds the same assumption (but in favor of the sellers). If then kitchen-psychological economists interpret "certain, unmistakable parameters" as evidence of their (mis)hope, the stalemate is perfect (and with hysterical chaos, it works according to the reverse recipe with the same ingredients). If one were to base their investment commitments on the advice of such people, one could reliably destroy even the greatest fortunes. I always get a big bucket of popcorn when the TV guide says I can amusingly zap back and forth today between the professors of nonsense and fools. The next day I prefer to eat in a factory canteen, where I can have the nonsense explained to me again in such a way that even I "understand" it, if you understand ...

The reality is more like this: you reduce the house, but not from the outset by 20%, rather after an otherwise at least seemingly build-ready plan in three steps by 5, 15, and 20%, and the double garage is usually the most sacred and accordingly last point to cut—quite often it even gets bigger in order to "save" a basement, even if that requires L-blocks in at least the same cost volume, because the plot of land does not cooperate.
Anyone building a basement today really shouldn't complain about prices being too high...
I don't know what was being smoked at the Schlauberg weekly market today, but maybe you should read up on the 11ant basement rule here. Sometimes plots of land speak very loudly about whether a basement is advisable.

Honestly, I don't think you have any rules to impose on me ;) A basement may indeed sometimes be recommended, but what does that have to do with not complaining about prices? You are not forced to build where a basement becomes necessary... are you sure you don't know what was to smoke at the weekly market? It seems to me you were standing in line in front of me... so there was nothing left for me...
