Why don't construction prices go down?

Yes, that's true. The offered unit costs 3000/sqm turnkey in very good quality, including garage and including floor slab. There may not be much room for negotiation. Someone who offers an average price of 3000/sqm can go down to 2800/sqm if necessary.

Maybe the companies have also made solid provisions and can (so far) wait it out. Helma is also not bankrupt yet.

The post is about 2 weeks old, but now it seems to be the case, Helma has also filed for insolvency (read earlier on the website of Wirtschaftswoche)

Yep, I live in the area... I've already heard panic from some trades, as various payments have been outstanding for a long time

In recent days, I have indeed heard and read news about falling construction prices. In particular, there is said to be a noticeable decline in wood, although it is already clear that not only the building materials drive the price.

There is expected to be a noticeable decline especially in wood, although it is already clear that not only building materials are driving the price.

Heat pumps are currently also stockpiled everywhere. Manufacturers are already cutting staff again because politics simply failed to act. There are currently good package deals to be had.

By the way, also photovoltaic systems, while we're at it.

If home builders are now still demanding top prices and say 'building only gets more expensive', I find that unserious at the latest in 2024.
