First of all, where is the catch, the house is way too cheap. Or no garage and garden included?

Income is not substantial for such a high loan amount.

Hello in the forum!

Is this a tied selling with a developer? Are those really all costs or just "catalog/advertisement prices" for now?
If the price is final like this, including all groundworks etc., then it is very good. (Where exactly in Bavaria is the house located?)

Otherwise, regarding finances: Thanks to the equity, I see quite good possibilities, although at the upper limit of what is feasible. We have comparable net income without significant equity and finance 515k with a 1,500€ installment. However, our children are already there, so we know our minimum income. Be aware that as soon as children come, the wallet will be squeezed a lot. And this period can last anywhere from 12 to 72 months.

On the whole, that seems coherent and feasible to me. I can't assess whether the costs for Bavaria are realistic. With a basement, it seems inexpensive to me, but if you are sure that you can make it with the budget, then it should be doable with your income. How much offspring is planned? For the first child, you can often get by relatively well with the 65% + maternity leave periods with full income. If you can return to work after the first 1.5 years, it works. Am I correct in assuming that it is the income of 2k that partially disappears with offspring, not the income of 3.3k?

We have just built under similar conditions. Slightly less income, slightly less loan amount. One child, house financing during my parental leave. Meanwhile, I am working part-time again, as planned. We knew that the first 2 years would have to run with a tighter belt since the new (higher) burden from the annuity coincides here with my part-time income AND the daycare fees. When the little one turns 3, the daycare fees disappear, then it becomes more relaxed again.

So far, financially it is going as planned, even a little better. A second child is not planned for us. If we were to change our minds spontaneously, that would still be financially manageable, but then the long-distance trips would move further into the future. ;)

To me, it reads quite solid. The additional costs will probably be somewhat lower, and a reserve fund is not necessary in the first few years, but overestimated money can always be allocated somewhere ;) The only thing to consider would be the months/years with the first/second child. Free or inexpensive childcare would be nice there so that the woman can go back to earning. Car savings rate for a new one? How does that look? Such offers usually lag behind on the items that are ultimately not included in the offer, without seeing them. Do you have an ID for the exposé in a portal that we could quickly check? That’s quite a bit. Keep in mind that the first years are characterized by expenses -> lawn mower, garden furniture, planting, furniture, lamps, etc. But somehow these things work out, as you can invest in them instead of a vacation.
