New construction 2025/26 in BW - feasible with 950k all-in?

Very small regional general contractor for solid construction here in our town. Won't do you much good.

I also don't know if the floor coverings always "make the difference". Usually, almost no one reaches for the 10€ laminate from the hardware store (at least not for the living spaces, etc.). Whether it's 50€ for the tile or 60€ for parquet (or maybe even the other way around?) is not particularly decisive... (...)

Then I am once again the exception here, because I installed laminate for 25 EUR/m² in the living rooms upstairs and I don't know anyone here in the development (after all, 86 houses) who had their entire house laid with oak parquet... It is indeed a very special bubble here, that must be emphasized again and again. The way "you" build and calculate here, is not how the majority builds. 3,000 EUR/m², hardly anyone can afford that in Saxony-Anhalt or Brandenburg...

Puuuh... When I look at houses here in BW, you probably won’t find any living rooms with 25€ laminate.. From that perspective: The majority here in BW actually still builds differently – even today.

It will probably also be a question in this case of what kind of people you are acquainted with. There will also be enough people in BaWü who are satisfied with simple houses because they simply don't have 950,000 EUR and the bank won't give them that much either. That's the classic bubble problem...

Anyone who works at Daimler and only has friends who work at Daimler... eventually thinks that every worker goes home with 70, 80k gross...

I just believe that outward appearance today (especially in new development areas) is much more important than before. People prefer to save on the basement to then buy golden faucets (exaggeratedly said). That is why - usually less is saved on the flooring nowadays.

However, the numbers somehow speak against this. In 2023, 2.3 million m² of parquet were produced in Germany, but 119.8 million m² of laminate. With this ratio, it is completely impossible that the majority of new buildings are largely laid with parquet.

In the living room, this may still be the case for reasons of prestige, and people prefer to eat canned ravioli for years to have the parquet installed... but in the bedrooms, children's rooms, study... hardly anyone lays parquet.

By the way, I also have prefinished parquet in the living room. Installed as a floating floor, everyone screamed that this would never work...
