Has anyone here already looked into the coalition agreement presented today and its implications for (us) homebuilders?
A positive point for new homeowners could be that there will be an exemption for property transfer tax if the property will be owner-occupied. The rent control measures are planned to be extended. There is a goal to build 400,000 new homes, of which 100,000 will be publicly subsidized.
As the operator of a gas condensing boiler, I would have been very interested to know whether Nord Stream 2 will become operational or not, but I haven’t read anything about that. Natural gas-generated electricity is supposed to be phased out by 2040, whatever “phased out” actually means. In the mid-2030s, natural gas heating systems are expected to be discontinued.

Since when have wallboxes been installed in larger quantities? There will probably still be a lot of progress.I don’t consider approximately 900,000 wallboxes installed in private households through the Kfw 440 program in Germany over about 1.5 years to be a small number.

... the building energy act will align new construction standards with the KfW-EH 40 2996 as of January 1, 2025. ...Do I understand correctly that from January 1, 2025, new buildings no longer have to comply with the Energy Saving Ordinance but must meet the KfW 40 standard? Will the subsidies be adjusted accordingly?H

I also read it as the requirements increasing significantly, with the current KfW 40 becoming the minimum standard. Any adjustment to the subsidies will certainly be decided separately and probably not very soon. That level of detail is unlikely to be included in the coalition agreement.

A separate decision regarding adjustments to funding will certainly be made.Personally, I believe that funding will be reduced for new builds and more money will be directed towards renovating existing buildings. This has already been the case since 2022 (discontinuation of the 55 subsidy for new construction, but maintained for renovations).H

From an objective standpoint, this would make a lot of sense, since there is much greater potential for climate protection through existing building renovations than in new single-family home construction. In the end, fewer single-family homes will be built because it will become more expensive; this benefits the climate but not the typical private homeowner.

I really see people driving electric power several kilometers (miles) around (from Aldi, their employer, friends, ...) just to save 30 cents.
At the same time, at least 10% is lost during charging and another 10% when feeding the energy back out.
We simply don’t have enough renewable energy yet to afford wasting 20%.
Only when a lot of regulation and control is put in place can it make sense.
