Those are good points to think about, thank you.
I’ve been watching the market for quite a while. The problem I see is that houses like ours rarely appear.
Mostly much older houses (from the 70s to 90s) are offered around here; if they are about our size, they are usually listed around 400-450k.
Now, I find it hard to apply that to us – we don’t have a bathroom in need of renovation, we don’t have an old heating system / old roof, the place here is practically new. Therefore, I’d find 450k too little.
Then I sometimes see semi-detached houses (new) offered, often around 390k – but they are smaller, and the plots are only half the size. But a new semi-detached house, cheaper than a 30-year-old detached house? That does not make sense to me.
It’s similar with newer bungalows. I sometimes see them listed that cheaply, but again smaller and with smaller plots.

That’s why I don’t know where to position myself. I’m going to take a risk and say my rough idea is currently somewhere between 500-570k. But that’s quite a big range. I actually don’t want to go below 500 given the market situation and the features we have.
Or do I have crazy expectations?

I wouldn't call that a problem, quite the opposite :) It's less that your ideas are crazy, and more that the market is. In that respect, the only fundamental mistake you could make is trying to think "rationally" about pricing: trying to reason yourself into fools with reason, logic, and similar "nonsense" can only end up thoroughly wrong ;-) [see PM]

Because of the land value, you of course have to subtract that every time. With the older houses, the larger plot is equivalent in value to the age of the house.
Old building on 1000sqm = 400,000€
200,000€ house + 200,000€ land

New building on 500sqm = 400,000€
300,000€ house + 100,000€ land

This is of course just a rough estimate


If you don't understand math, of course that won't work.
However, you also have to know that it’s not about an exact value. But you can probably calculate/estimate it to within ±30,000€[/QUOTE]

That is exactly my own experience. If you have a house that is usually never on the market in this standard, with tasteful/more comfortable fittings in this (rural) region, I would bet that people will immediately be interested.
In the past, in my opinion, it was even possible to check how many search agents are currently set up.
Just reading here in the forum makes it clear how many people everywhere are looking for a nice house.

Then I would list it for 570k and see what happens.

I would hang over the fence on the right and left and spread the word that my house would be available for around 600K€, the same in the [Kita], yoga group, acquaintances, bakery, etc., and then wait. What do you think, why so few good houses appear in the ads?
