Sell old house and build new one in a different location

You can also use the informal "you" with us :)

But in recent years he often had the variant where the seller paid rent to the new buyer.

Rent has to be taxed...

Reducing the purchase price probably sounds more appealing to most people, right!?

... not a cheaper final price. Double savings, if not even triple for the buyer, since the real estate transfer tax is also lower.

All in all: WinWin for both.

If possible, leave out the broker as well, that attracts twice as many interested buyers.

We currently live in a prefabricated house and were very satisfied with it back then. However, for the second time, we would like to build solidly because we expect a better climate (which could probably also be a big topic of conversation ;-))

That's how it is. With monolithic masonry you can still have a difference, but with ETICS I don't see a significant difference between insulation inside and insulation on the wall.

Nowadays, all houses are airtight. The good climate is created by the ventilation system.

What I am even more of an open-door warm shower than that is: analog fan :-)

You used a bridge loan. What would you have done if your old house hadn’t sold? Would you have been able to afford it financially? We couldn’t afford to keep both houses! Then you would have had the existing loan for the old house, the bridge loan, and the financing for the new house, or am I wrong?

Have a nice Saturday![/QUOTE]

We didn’t assume that, why would we? Around here all houses are selling, I had already seen that in the real estate agents’ listings beforehand. Even houses directly on the main street or near the railway line were sold quickly. For our new loan we only had to pay 150 euros a month (we lowered the repayment rate to 1%) and for the bridge loan we only paid interest, so we could have paid that longer, but it wasn’t necessary. Our real estate agent told us that properties have never sold as well as they do currently.
