I hope someone is interested in the current status. The purchase did not go through at the time because my sister presented an "appraisal" of 600,000.-- and found a broker who promised her at least 650,000€. I don't know if it was due to rising interest rates or general uncertainty; there were many viewings but no serious buyers. In the fall, for other reasons, I tried to sell one of my apartments. There too, half of the people didn't have the money and the other half wanted a bargain of 50% off the market price. That means the price negotiations start all over again, now with interest rates at 3.7%. However, it shows that prices have not really fallen. Compared to the real prices from a year ago, not the fantasy prices some dreamed of and also found fools who paid them. But it is definitely more complicated and time-consuming to sell. Those who are under time pressure, either because they need the money for new construction or divorce or other financial problems, currently have very poor odds.
