Thank you all!
I’m trying to address all questions:
House:
[*]In addition to the 300k, there are €20,000 acquisition ancillary costs.
[*]These would be covered by our equity.
[*]The house is 140 sqm in size.
[*]Someone asked if this might be a bait offer. I guess the house is priced this way because it is a mid-terrace house and the plot is very small. The house also has no basement.
[*]Otherwise, there is a carport. The house is rural, in a "good" area, within walking distance to the train station with a direct connection to the next larger university city (6 min) and to a big city (about 40 min).
Income/personal situation:
[*]My boyfriend’s part-time employment share: 24h/week.
[*]A car purchase is not planned. We are still paying off an almost new car for 3 more years (€300 per month), and we also have an old small car.
[*]Our parents could only financially support us in emergencies, and even then not indefinitely.
[*]We have not yet thought about the care situation of a hypothetical child. That is a very good point. The parents live in the big city nearby, so that is rather unlikely.
[*]Unfortunately, we don’t have a 13th salary. In our current jobs, no significant salary jumps are expected (small company). With an employer change, the salary—especially my boyfriend’s—would certainly develop very positively. But that is not planned in the short term.
I consider our income and savings to be too low. And I’m annoyed for not having dealt with these topics earlier and for not having taken out a home savings contract at an earlier point in time. It is definitely not wrong to take one out now, but I somehow feel the "train has already left." My partner is already 33, and a house should also be paid off before retirement.
I am amazed at how much equity many already young people have. I have also heard that you should bring 20% equity when buying a house. At a price of 300,000, that is 60,000€, which seems almost unattainable for a young person who maybe only studied for 5 or 6 years and only starts working properly at 25.
