Land prices and standard land value and tips for land search

Honestly, based on your self-descriptions, you would be best off in a municipal new development area in my opinion. With a building gap, you will very likely end up in a long-established environment of longtime residents. As self-proclaimed introverts, you might be perceived as an alien body there and after some time also 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 a bit easier for you to open up and you don’t have to woo anyone or pretend to be someone else. If you can imagine building in your current residential community as well, then follow their land use planning closely, read the minutes of the municipal meetings and get yourself some honorary office as soon as possible. With the current demand, decisions are increasingly made using a points system, so the secretary position in the rabbit breeding club can already give you the extra point needed to get a chance.

You were already there, just driven instead of walked.

Who demanded a personality change or suggested pretending? - even autistic people can find properties, certainly. I am familiar with both ;-)

Not exaggerated, but misunderstood.

New development areas would be great, but there are none at the moment. Infill development is the policy here, under the motto that there are enough gaps in the building fabric, the market should regulate that. One cannot expect any relief from the municipalities here. In one of the towns where we would like to move, new municipal building land is apparently about to be developed, but it is only about a few plots and it is already foreseeable that only families with children will get some (whom I would also gladly give priority), and it may still take a while. Of course, we can still apply...

No, we were not there. Because there was nothing, as I wrote. On foot there would have been nothing either. So it was a waste of time, on foot would have been double a waste of time.

We have also driven through some residential areas in our desired region, but we have not yet discovered any vacant houses.

If I remember correctly, there was a deadline last year or the year before, before which development plans could be simplified. A lot was still pushed through then – preferably densification development plans (to regulate the activation of backyard building plots). In the latter case, in my opinion, mostly unfortunate planning frameworks were created (pipe-stem plots, sometimes only site area instead of their own street access, less number of floors / floor area ratio / eaves height than in the first row or in neighboring new development areas).

... so you were there (?) – are you sure you would "see" vacancies?
