Hello Michael, three boys - nice! - well then you know what I’m talking about ... :) Well, the thing with moving. I wish I could write: Yes, the wandering phase is over. To be honest, no it isn’t, and no, it never will be. My husband is quite successful in his job, and even if he doesn’t apply, calls from headhunters are constantly coming in. Mostly with mediocre offers, but sometimes very good ones. The last change was the result of such a call. That’s why I have “specialized” in taking care of my children despite having a degree and move with him back and forth across the Republic. However, I also still have my job at the intended place of residence - I am practically irreplaceable (public service, permanent contract). So it would be the consideration to settle there, and my husband would have to focus on changing only the position and no longer the company. Let’s see. In the worst case, we would just have to sell again. That has happened to us before, but that was a house we had bought as an existing property. At that time, we sold without loss, got back all our purchase incidental costs and investments. Such a thing should also be possible in the future, so it would be good not to reach certain cost thresholds in order to address a broader buyer group in an emergency: I’d say, 700,000 euros investment would be too high for me (apart from the fact that I also want to sleep peacefully). Friends of ours built 4-3 years ago in the same place of residence. They built a modern solid house with a reliable local builder (whom we will definitely approach when the time comes), about 280 m² living/usable area, 2 full floors and on top a staggered floor with roof terrace, no basement, double garage, 600 m² plot. For that they spent almost exactly 500,000 euros all in (nameplate and lamps included), but the heating technology was fixed and not expensive (district heating) and they did a few things themselves (garden design, painting, parquet, roof terrace covering, etc.). The house is well equipped: electric programmable shutters everywhere, parquet floors, fireplace, two-tone windows, including built-in insect screens and two-tone front door, super modern stairs with steel railing and real wood steps, comprehensive lighting concept (stairs, spots), sectional door, direct access to the house, 2 floor-level showers, Villeroy and Boch..., .... so modern and would more than suffice for me in terms of “look and feel”. Although I would prefer a classic town house. The two of them are very thoughtful people and the costs are very accurate thanks to Excel, since they are very good friends and I know them well, the price is really right. Therefore I still hope that for a “smaller” house, despite price increases, it might still be possible to stay below 600,000. However, I am also a cautious person and rather calculate with the “worst” case scenario. Have you guys already built? Best regards!
