Sell an apartment from a two-family house immediately after completion

Even near Munich or near Hamburg, it would apply that relative to a flat in a multi-story building in a two-family property, a separate-ground-floor flat (as a WEG semi-detached house effectively is) is much more attractive. Even compared to a flat in an eighteen-family building, it fares worse because the probability of meeting the "favorite neighbor" at the mailbox is, I'd say, "something else" ;-)

I seriously doubt that the majority would prefer living in an 18-unit bunker with 17 neighbors above, below, left, and right, instead of a two-family house with its own garden. But if someone wants that, I wish them good luck ;)
There is definitely no shortage of prospective buyers working at Bosch, Siemens, Daimler, Porsche, IBM, or elsewhere who are looking for a quiet apartment in the area.

How do you imagine that? 2 separate apartments, you are registered in both... the granny flat as a separate residential unit for the subsidy. You in the granny flat, the woman with children in the other (main) apartment... and then probably some kind of dismantling again, which costs money again. 4 parking spaces, an additional balcony or 2 terraces, double bathrooms, etc., that costs more than a small house... You have to advance the money first.

One apartment to live in and a home office. I don't see that as a problem now.

Phew, you are really going on the defensive with that.

Yes, that's true, but I prefer to live smaller and be debt-free faster, rather than treat myself to a dream property that I pay off until retirement.

And what if the neighbor is totally relaxed and does nudism, even though you can watch and don’t want to see it? ;) Anything can happen. But it doesn’t matter here anyway.

o_O:)
I think the luxury of the baby boomers (who also didn’t get anything for free) is simply over, when the man as the sole earner could comfortably pay off a little house in the countryside. Nowadays it’s getting tighter and you have to make more compromises.

Well, I seriously doubt that the majority would prefer to live in an 18-party bunker, with 17 neighbors above, below, left, and right, instead of in a two-family house with its own garden.

I used the 18-unit apartment building as an example because there are still some without elevators. In a multifamily apartment building with many neighbors, the relative chance of encountering exactly the neighbor you dislike is lower than in the "JustMeAndTheIdiot-apartment building." The sixty-family building would be at a relative disadvantage here again, since elevator encounters would add to this. For the third and final time: the two-family house is only more popular in the "side-by-side" version.

There is definitely no shortage of buyers who work at Bosch, Siemens, Daimler, Porsche, IBM, or elsewhere and are looking for a quiet apartment in that location.

The fact that the market in affluent metropolitan areas absorbs even broom closets does not change the relatively higher favor of maisonettes over flats. Look at the real estate classifieds to see how many people are looking for building partners for semi-detached houses and how many for two-family floor apartments, then hopefully the penny will drop – otherwise, I will not repeat it again.

Too bad, you didn’t address this question, although it is fundamentally the most important one. Don’t you know the answer?

What does the development area say about the idea? Some municipalities forbid selling within 2 / 5 years.. that also applies to a part, because that is also considered speculation, which they want to prevent. How about the plot of land?

….

But if someone wants that, I wish them good luck ;)

I would also rather take the ground-floor unit in the
two-family house before buying something in a multi-family house.

There is definitely no lack of buyers who work at Bosch, Siemens, Daimler, Porsche, IBM or elsewhere and are looking for a quiet apartment in the location.

hm… whether the high earners would buy something that is then affordable but “only” 100sqm?
I would probably want to rent: ground floor, south terrace, try out if 100sqm is enough for me/us. However, the landlord would live above, and that makes the multi-family house more attractive again.
In this respect, check for yourself a) the restrictions and possibilities of the plot and b) the target group for purchase or rental.

but I prefer to live smaller and be debt-free faster rather than treat myself to a dream property that I pay off until retirement.

But few high earners think like that. If you browse through the forum here, many prefer to build bigger and more independently.

I used the 18-unit apartment building as an example because there are still some without elevators. In a multi-neighbor apartment building, the relative probability of encountering exactly the neighbor you "have bitten" is lower than in the "Onlymeandstupid-apartment building." The sixty-unit building would be at a relative disadvantage here again, as elevator encounters would be added. For the third and last time: the two-family house is only more popular in the "side-by-side" version.

The fact that the market in affluent metropolitan areas also absorbs broom closets does not change the relatively higher preference for maisonettes over flats. Look at the real estate classifieds to see how many people are looking for building partners for semi-detached houses and how many for floor two-family houses, then hopefully the penny will drop – otherwise, I will not repeat it again anyway.

You don’t need to repeat anything either. Because the lack of buyers is absolutely not the issue and not remotely the problem. It’s about taxes and KFW.
Best regards to your 18-unit bunker ;)
