Single-family house from 1987. Evaluation of the price and the "necessary" work

If I consider my parents-in-law, both over 70, I can only say that some people feel cold easily as they age and therefore heat well. 26 degrees is normal everywhere in the living rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, guest rooms in winter. Consumption is very individual. The "winter garden" could also consume a lot.

Exactly these are the points we would like to discuss... if the owners say something like this, then I can of course better assess the consumption...

Realtor:
are you still interested in the aforementioned property? Haven't heard anything from you.

But did he inquire on his own initiative?

But did he ask on his own?

yup on his own... That's why... He will 100% have many interested parties.. but whether they all have a bank approval is the question.

yup on his own... That's why... He will definitely have many interested parties.. but whether they all have a bank approval is the question.

Well then he is either very conscientious and decent or the sale is turning out to be more difficult than he thought..

I don't understand the connection between the answer and my quote...

Quite simple. The bank would not have corrected months ago, just approved the price, "the market is just like this right now." And now it is "suddenly" worth less... Set a personal limit, no matter what the bank and agents say. Period. Because the purchase is just the beginning of further expenses...

And what exactly is surprising about that now? The market is not a one-way street. And every interested party knows that. Why should the "Düsseldorfer" suddenly throw out his money now when he knows that in the game, with enough equity, he simply holds all the trump cards?

Then he is either very conscientious and decent or the sale is turning out to be more difficult than he thought...

That is exactly the difference compared to the market a year ago – back then no one called you after.

Yep, on his own... That's why... He will 100% have many interested parties... but whether they all have a bank approval is the question.

Has he not yet insisted on preliminary financing approvals from the banks? That is already standard by now. Interesting.
