The real big shock is yet to come... due to high gas prices and supply shortages, building material producers will further reduce their production, possibly even having to halt it for weeks or months...

Price relief not before mid-2024. This also applies to the chip crisis.

And order books that are not full 2 years in advance... that's not a drama... the industry is pushing a huge burden ahead of itself. Even with reduced demand, it takes 10 years to clear it. Because skilled workers are hardly keeping up.

I can confirm, we are currently working overtime, according to the managing director the customers want to stock up their warehouses because they fear that we will shut down in winter. And yes, we belong to the 40 companies in our district that have to shut down in case of gas shortage. Nevertheless, we have prepared and switched to electronic instantaneous water heaters, but it is not cheap. Better prepared than standstill, the end consumer pays for it, so inevitably everything will get even more expensive.

Of course raw materials can become cheaper again. No one will probably sell below production costs. I wouldn't wait for a 4x6 meter batten to cost 50 cents again. Stricter new regulations, rising wages, etc. – lead to higher prices over a longer period of time.

And even then it is not guaranteed that it will work. With such substitutions, we are currently turning a gas problem into an electricity problem. Fan heaters are a breeze compared to the industry's switch to electric heating. Politics will probably realize this in at most half a year ;)

Precaution for me would be a backup generator and not a fan heater or a tankless water heater.

I do think that this heating season will easily substitute 15% of gas. Some through the fireplace and some through conscious heating and possibly lower room temperature.

I see it similarly. In the coming years, many old existing houses will come onto the market when their already old owners pass away. At the same time, I see an increase in auction properties in our district, apparently some have gambled and lost. I think the big push will still come here when the cheapest 10-year interest rate fixed terms expire.

For the "<20 years old poorly insulated houses" I personally see prices dropping in the future. Over the weekend, I saw the utility bill of my in-laws. What can I say? You really have to be able to afford to live in such a property, even if it is completely paid off.
