What did a house cost in 1960? Experiences

Hello,

I am interested in how much a "normal" single-family house cost by the standards of the time. So something very simple, around 100sqm, maybe already with central heating - and the then quite common own work.

I have searched the internet extensively and found nothing - I don’t want to know how much it is worth today, but how much it cost back then. The construction time would be around the mid-60s.

Do you perhaps have "experience values", memories, or a tip on where I can look?

Many thanks

Do you mean the construction costs or the value?

If the value is to be communicated, then you would need to specify at least the square meter size of the property and the location.

Only the construction costs back then. Location Middle Franconia.

Searching must be learned ;-)

Just enter "kosten hausbau 1960" and take a look at the first results. For example, from Nickles based on old documents or destatis the average statistical values according to building applications.

That's true ^^ One wrong word and you're completely off track...

I had already found Nickles, but there was nothing concrete there either. Thank you very much for the tip. Destatis only starts in 1967, but that fits. Now I am wiser :) Thank you very, very much!

I have the purchase contract for a terraced house from 1961. From my grandmother. She bought a corner terraced house in the south of Munich at the time. Turnkey. Floors, bathrooms, and kitchen were included in the purchase price. One could choose from 2/3 models each. If one wanted something else, one paid the difference. The house with 120 m2 living space plus 240 m2 garden and garage cost 95,000 DM. In 1969, my parents built/bought a similar house – different area. The purchase price here was 98,000 DM. Smaller garden, but also with garage. Equipment self-financed.
