ᐅ Is the real estate market increasingly forcing families to build their own homes?

Actually, we would prefer to avoid building. Unfortunately, existing properties within a 20 km (12 miles) radius have become quite expensive, and affordable rental houses with small gardens are simply scarce.
Until now, we have been living in an old rental apartment without a garden. We would like to change that, but there is a lack of options. The listings on various platforms are overcrowded with families looking for affordable housing.
Who is familiar with this situation, and how do you deal with it?

On the general topic of living: For quite a few people, large rooms and gardens can become a burden. Many realize this only over time and as they get older. Nowadays, work demands are high, and not everyone feels like messing around with the house on weekends.[/QUOTE]
Well, in that case, they should probably rent or buy a condo/apartment. Owning a house involves some work.

Anyone who buys a house is buying work. This should be clearly understood.From my observation among acquaintances, many are not aware of this. The topic is often underestimated, especially when work commitments are demanding. Many couples building a house also have young children or are planning to start a family. This can also be a significant source of stress, particularly if grandparents, uncles, or aunts are not available to help.

Some work? Actually, always... That’s part of it.
The amount depends on what you want to do with your property.
One person wants 200m² (2,150 sq ft) of English lawn and turns up their nose if even a deadnettle blooms there, mowing not only on weekends like crazy to keep it perfect.
Another mows once or twice a month, doesn’t mind some weeds, and prefers sitting on the terrace in the evenings.
I want an English lawn. Yes. Without any weeds mixed in, no thistles, clover, or dandelions, no daisies, and as lush as a carpet. For that, I don’t need to work myself to exhaustion, I just need to know what to do and when. And since a developed 600 square meter (approximately 6,460 square feet) plot is not a golf course, it’s not hard work. K.
