Land prices and standard land value and tips for land search

I am definitely willing to do more than others. That's why I'm here, to find out what should be done now. There have already been some useful suggestions for me, I just don't like the idea of having to change my personality (if that's even possible), or at least pretend to have a different personality for a while. Do you really think I would like to be introverted? It only has disadvantages, believe me...

I don't think you have to change your personality. And I don't believe in pretending either. What I meant by "jumping over your shadow" is actively approaching others. So neighbors of properties. And I wouldn't start with the dream property, because practice makes perfect. If that doesn't work at all, then at least consider Plan B. You can't take just any property for a bungalow either.

Set time limits. Try it first with colleagues and ads and ease your way in slowly. If nothing happens after 6 months, then look for properties via Google Maps that you can visit specifically. Maybe you'll catch someone in their front yard in good weather.

By the way, it's not as if we are mega extroverted. But we had Plan B and we are renovating. Honestly, with the current price explosions, I'm not unhappy not to start from scratch.

Just as the timpani belong to every marching band only because some people, even with a lot of practice, never get the hang of blowing and playing.

Note: It's absolutely no different when drumming, even if the latter hasn't made its way into the proverbial saying. ;)

I am certainly willing to do more than others. That’s why I’m here, to find out what should be done now. There have already been useful suggestions for me, I just don’t like the idea of having to change my personality (if that’s even possible), or at least pretend to have a different personality for a while.

Honestly, based on your self-descriptions, in my opinion you would be best off in a newly developed municipal housing area. With a building gap, you will very likely end up in a well-established environment full of long-time residents. As self-confessed introverts, you could be perceived there as a foreign body and after a while treated as such. In the new development area, everyone starts from scratch and direct neighbors inevitably have to coordinate with each other, so it might be somewhat easier for you to open up and you wouldn’t have to charm anyone or pretend to be someone else.
If you can imagine building in your current community, then follow their land-use planning attentively, read the minutes of the municipal meetings, and get yourself some honorary position as soon as possible. With the current demand, decisions are increasingly made using a point system, and holding the secretary position in the rabbit breeding club could already give you the extra point you need to come out ahead.

If you don't like directly approaching people that much, I have the idea to prepare nice (self-designed) postcards that you can mail. I recently found something like that in my mailbox myself. I found it unobtrusive and very nicely phrased. The disadvantage is that it requires an active response, but who knows. There are many who also like to write "anonymously" at first.

I don’t think you have to change your personality. And I’m also not a fan of pretending. What I meant by “overcoming your shadow” is actively approaching others. Like neighbors of properties. And I wouldn’t start with the dream property because practice makes perfect. If that doesn’t work at all, at least consider Plan B. You can’t just take any plot for a bungalow either.

Set time limits. Try it first with colleagues and ads and feel your way in slowly. If nothing happens after 6 months, then check out plots via Google Maps that you specifically drive to. Maybe you’ll catch someone in their front yard in good weather.

Thanks, that makes sense to me. For some people here, it rather read as if we had to, exaggerating, canvass our search area on foot, be present everywhere until everyone greets us and best of all join all local traditional costume clubs and participate in all festivities until we are perceived as locals before there is even the slightest hope of being considered as buyers, at least to some extent. To put it exaggeratedly.

Now I feel cheated. To know where we have to be, we first have to know where things are.

You were already there, just driven instead of walked.

I just don’t like having to change my personality (if that’s even possible), or at least pretend to have a different personality for a while.

Who demanded a personality change or suggested pretending? – autistics can find properties too, certainly. I’m familiar with both ;-)

For some here it read more like, to put it bluntly, we have to canvass our search area on foot,

Not quite ...

be everywhere present until everyone greets us and ideally joins all the local traditional costume clubs and participates in all festivities until we are perceived as locals before there is even the slightest hope of being considered as a buyer. To put it bluntly.

Not to put it bluntly, but misunderstood.
