Land prices and standard land value and tips for land search

Speaking of interest lists: you must already be on those of the local banks? With us, Volksbank had a pretty good offer, which is given in advance only to the people on the list. 95% of the properties are then gone and no longer go on open sale.

Recently, a city councilor here locally had a (in my opinion great) idea:

Typical strategic mistake. The city councilor has firmly linked his intention to the idea of apartment swapping in the village. So - grandmas out of their hard-earned houses. End of discussion.

What would really make sense is building suitable housing in the village as well. A small new development area with 75% single-family houses/semi-detached houses and also multi-family houses with apartments for the elderly and the appropriate share of social binding. If there is corresponding interest, families (grandpa out, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in) can make use of it; but other models would also be possible.
As I already wrote - create offers so that demand decreases and normality returns in the existing stock. Only many politicians will not want that at all, because they themselves own real estate in the village/in the city - so there might be a small conflict of interest.

What would really make sense is if building suitable living space remained possible even in the village.

One could equate, following the idea of the retirement house, an accessory apartment with lifelong right of residence for a local property owner to the local connection for property applicants in local resident models.

have you already approached the real estate agents in the search area? Going there in person and getting on the interest list will surprise you. A considerable number of (reasonably) affordable houses are also handled by agents who never appear on imm*scout.

Yes, we are already in the database with two agents, more will follow. Nothing has come of it so far, but it is still very fresh, we have to wait and see now...

Yes, we are already in the database with two brokers, more will follow.

Limit yourselves to quality brokers; sleepyhead brokers are useless. It can be helpful if the broker already knows which financing options one would be good for at their bank, as this earns you a small Michelin star as a waitlister. It is important to explicitly indicate that you are only identifying yourself as an interested party and not connecting this with your own broker mandate!

Limit yourselves to quality brokers, sleepyhead brokers are no good.

Since I have absolutely no experience in this area: How do I recognize the good brokers, or by which criteria can I distinguish the quality broker from the sleepyhead?
