Hello everyone,
We are currently looking for a property in the Lower Rhine region, which is not a particularly sought-after area, but unfortunately, the prices are not any better than in eastern Germany. When calling several real estate agents, they mentioned up to 50 viewings scheduled for one property. This was for a standard semi-detached house with a somewhat larger plot. I get the impression that as soon as a house has a garden bigger than a chicken coop, the interest is incredible.
Of course, the municipalities are not designating any new building land, as that would spoil the surroundings… (to what extent that is still possible is left to their imagination). This naturally has the convenient side effect that existing building plots and older properties are insanely expensive.
You can probably wait half a lifetime for the supposed recession, falling prices, and available properties. It’s all frustrating and a real pity.
Thanks for listening.

It’s nice where I live and not for you – ha! Or: I don’t stand a chance because everything where I am is either terrible, criminal, or overpriced. Nursing wounds can be enjoyable for some, too.

Have you spent the last 20 years in a monastery? Police reports from Duisburg show that every third report is about robbery or knife attacks. There are 10,000 crimes per 100,000 inhabitants.
In Fürth, Bavaria, it’s 4,800 per 100,000 inhabitants. Police reports: about every eighth report involves robbery or knife attacks. I find that difference dramatic.
Over 77,000 of nearly 500,000 people in Duisburg receive Hartz IV benefits. Statistically, every third child is affected by poverty. “Extortion” quickly becomes a national pastime. According to the police, there are at least 70 criminal clans with about 2,800 members.
Also, look up the Spiegel-TV report on “dilapidated real estate in Duisburg.”
Do you have children? Have you actually experienced the rough area or the crime, or is your post just based on one press report that every tabloid in your area printed? What you wrote is basically copied verbatim from the internet.

The Duisburg area and within 100km (65 miles) around it is so ugly that no one would want to live there voluntarily. Bavaria is simply a more attractive location, though it doesn’t have to be Munich, I don’t think. Trademark schrieb:
Honestly, Bavaria is totally monotonous. I am Somehow, you all are just babbling. Few people have a completely free choice of their place of residence. Often it’s where they grew up, have family, or can find a job. And yes, also where they can build a sense of home. The vacation area doesn’t matter, right?! Hey, I live where others go on holiday...
Even an “ugly” area surely has some nice residential streets with infrastructure.
You just have to open your eyes a bit and not keep nursing wounds or only look at the billionaires (as mentioned here).
I live quite well near a big city where people fight violently almost every night. Refugees express their group conflicts, and some clan members also live near us.
Yesterday, I took the S-Bahn in Hamburg. I felt like a minority. The only one who scared me looked German and was quite drunk. Still, I realized once more how practical such an S-Bahn is. I don’t need to own an expensive car.
Nevertheless, our area is a pleasant place to live because I live here, make the best of it, and know it well. It’s my neighborhood with infrastructure, work, hobbies, and friends/acquaintances. It’s everyday life, and I make that enjoyable at home.

Very few people have complete freedom to choose where they live.Most set their own limits in their minds. When everyone says "that can't be done," suddenly someone who doesn't know that tries it anyway and just does it.

Even an "ugly" neighborhood probably has a few nice residential streets with good infrastructure.Let me put it this way: neighborhoods with a high concentration of Mercedes cars aren’t really "better" in terms of divorce rates (with or without domestic violence) or neighbor disputes, but of course, that doesn’t make headlines in the tabloids.In that sense, everyone is the architect of their own fortune, since each community of neighbors decides for itself whether to collectively improve the street cleaning and landscaping standards or whether to instead grab their walkie-talkies to wonder if they should call the "reinforcements" from the police after spotting an unidentified, possibly Muslim, young person.

My parents also supported me—just the additional costs of purchasing are a huge amount, especially when a real estate agent is involved. I find it quite dismissive to write as if it doesn’t matter just because family is helping. However, there are also people who consciously choose to decline this kind of support because they don’t want anything gifted. I am, for example, one of that type. Either I manage it with my own two hands or I don’t. My parents were not given anything for free either, so they should be able to enjoy a little luxury for themselves from their hard-earned and saved money.
Of course, everyone can and should handle this as they prefer.

Those who like to give do not feel appreciated if the gift is not accepted.
If you don’t want to, although you can, you end up making both unhappy.
