    I think it's more to do with the unwillingness to borrow huge sums to engage in such speculation TBH. Businesses seem to be run on similar lines, they are a lot less interested in taking on debt and seem to prefer organic growth.

    No, that's unlikely. If buying property was a way to make money, people would be doing it.

    I expect that is a factor here as well. Ideal if you could work from home though.

    This was in a village outside of Augsburg.

    Just having a look in some other states, you can get a 200 square meter 8 room house for less than €50k in Baden Wattenburg if you don't mind living in the middle of nowhere.

    started a topic Another house price thread

    Another house price thread

    I wash just having a look at house prices in the posh parts of Munich, and I decided to have a look at some of the further out places. Not ridiculously far out, but places I have been on my bike. They were quite cheap, so I had a look at some further out places, just to see how stupidly cheap it could get.

    I could buy a family house within an hour or so of work for €100k.

    You can also buy whole blocks of flats here, which is quite interesting.

    I'm off to have a look around the rest of Germany now.

Working...
