Yes, well, we experience that here too... Real estate here (if it’s reasonably maintained) is hardly on the market for more than 10 days. New builds, just 5 days. Recently, a new build house (built in 2015) with completed outdoor area, 180m² pitched roof WITHOUT basement WITHOUT garage (only carport) sold for 675k€, plus real estate agent fees and property transfer tax, mind you. The house was honestly online for just one weekend. And the house is located in a village WITHOUT supermarket, doctors, or anything else. So I actually don’t worry much about that. The market is really completely empty and what you find are junk properties. In our family, a terraced house was sold... without being seen, the people gave their commitment over the phone... so much for that. What scares many people off about building is the effort, the stress, the risk... everyone always hears how much can go wrong when building. Honestly, we wouldn’t have built either if we had found something decent to buy back then. I think many people feel the same. The argument about a divorce house = bargain might have been true once, but in the current phase and especially here in the south... no way... others are already lining up and happy that the previous person hesitated for a second. We have an oversupply of jobs here and do not live in a structurally weak area, so you can forget about that here.
