Land prices and standard land value and tips for land search

If in a search area of 600m²

No wonder! That’s probably just a single house anyway! :D

Ok, are you seriously telling me that a walk in any random unfamiliar area, which you haven’t looked at before, is more likely to lead to success than a walk in an unfamiliar area you chose because you drove through it beforehand and saw interesting objects and residential neighborhoods? Do you see now why I feel cheated?

I understand you and see it the same way! ;)

Let your partner read my posts – I just notice that you apparently always misunderstand me at the same point.

Then please explain to me in other words what you mean. All I get is that you still hold the conviction that reducing the radius of action on foot to a manageable extent by first checking with the car where it’s worth it is not purposeful. I MUST reduce the radius of action because, due to my partner’s illness, we are not so good on foot that we can manage dozens of kilometers daily after work. For example, last Pentecost weekend we were walking with friends in their hometown in Senne; of course, we also looked at the houses there and whether there were building gaps. Except for a potential building plot directly on the edge of town, which later turned out to be an outer area on the development plan, we couldn’t find anything of interest. The area was dominated by three- to four-story apartment buildings; on the few side streets we passed through where there were single-family houses, there was no vacancy to be seen. So, overall a rather uninteresting area for us. We were only out for three-quarters of an hour, but if our actual goal had been the property search and not the nice evening walk with friends, we would have driven through the area by car beforehand and seen that the area does not appeal to us and that we should look elsewhere.

No wonder! It's probably just a single house! :D

Yes, the mistake was already pointed out in an earlier post, a "k" is missing there.

I’ll try to convey. I think means that when you’re looking for vacant properties while driving (whether you recognize them or not), you don’t see the opportunities that might not currently look like vacancies or building gaps. There are houses that are occupied, but the residents have been thinking for a while about moving to a city apartment or an assisted living facility. The next one has such a large property they can no longer maintain it properly. Another’s children have left home and emigrated to Switzerland, bla bla blubb. You don’t discover these opportunities just by looking, but by, for example, taking a walk through a neighborhood you found nice after driving through it and talking to other people. An exaggerated and simplified example: Someone is cutting their hedge. "Good day, you have a lovely lilac. It’s blooming quite late this year, but it’s really beautiful at your place." [Some trivial response.] "Yes, the whole neighborhood is very nice; I could imagine living here too. But you just can’t get hold of any properties anymore. Have you by any chance heard of anyone wanting to sell?" Or even half-jokingly, "You wouldn’t happen to want to sell?" If you extend the small talk a bit beforehand, it doesn’t seem all that intrusive, I’m sure of that. Of course, there are people who don’t like that, but for that, you just need a bit thicker skin. If you’re too introverted for that, then just apply the idea from earlier and drop nice postcards in the mailboxes. Notices at the baker, the pharmacy, and at Edeka. So don’t limit yourself to vacant houses or building gaps — networking!

Honestly, I also wonder how that is supposed to work, or whether door-to-door canvassing is such a big success. To be honest, I am already dreading it, because we have just bought a house with additional building land that we definitely do not want to sell (because we want to build on it ourselves later), and the very idea that someone is constantly ringing our doorbell is not very pleasant. In our old place of residence, I knew about all 20 vacant lots, and for each one it was known what was planned. One wanted this, another that, but definitely no one wanted to sell.
