Hello,
We received an offer from a builder in March. Since then, we have been in ongoing discussions regarding changes to the building specifications, conducting soil surveys, etc.
Now the soil report is available, and the builder is not only increasing the price for the basement but also raising the total price of the house by nearly 10% due to the market situation! That seems quite high to us.
First offer in March, latest revision in July, and now it is mid-September...
What do you think? Counteroffer?

No, just under 6%, but I was already talking about 5–8%, and going from 8% to 10% isn’t a big jump. Anyway, there’s nothing you can do about it. It won’t get better in the short term. Unfortunately By “net increase for the mason,” I mean what they actually earn more/effective wage increase.
