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?

I need to stack wood so that the "angry" fireplace has something to burn next winter. Have fun in the garden.
That’s true.

The arguments have been exchanged. We won’t agree anyway. Especially not about Thunberg. I’m going to the garden now. The sun is shining. Planting daisies. K.
That’s true.
With the new Scholz reform on property tax, many owners and tenants will have to pay significantly more in the future. So, it will be more expensive either way. Once the government has the actual land values and the real value of the building after the reform, the tax authorities can claim higher taxes in the event of inheritance.
The middle class will have to foot the bill either way.

@Thierse: You need to let go of all your worries. Or are these just troll posts now? Probably.
The new property tax won’t come into effect that quickly, and how it will be calculated is completely uncertain. So why complain about something that hasn’t happened yet?
And inheritance again... The exemption for children is 400,000€ (approximately 440,000 USD). Only amounts above that are taxed at a low 15%. With an estate worth one million euros, that’s just 90,000€ (about 99,000 USD) in taxes, leaving 910,000€ (around 1 million USD). This complaining suits spoiled only children. If there are two children, each pays 15,000€ (around 16,500 USD). About 1.25% of the German population are millionaires. Are you one of them? What on earth is the point of all this complaining here?

Once the government has the actual land values and the real value of the house after the reform, the tax authorities will be able to collect substantial taxes in the case of inheritance.
The middle class will pay the price either way.Silly country sayings. The level of discussion is dropping drastically.
The proposal from the Finance Minister is complex and places an excessive burden on taxpayers and the tax authorities. This was the statement made by Mr. Warnecke, President of the Central Association for Homeowners and Landlords, in an article. The interest group calculated, using several realistic case studies, how strongly the reform affects owners and tenants—with very costly results. In any case, it will not become cheaper.
