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.

Bidirectional charging is currently a complete disaster.
I actually see people driving electricity quite a few kilometers (miles) around (from Aldi, their workplace, friends, ...) just to save 30 cents.
And at the same time, you lose at least 10% during charging and another 10% when discharging.
We really don’t have enough renewable energy yet to afford wasting 20%.
Only when there are strict regulations and controls in place can it make sense. I was actually thinking more about fully charging the car during the day with solar power to use it as storage at night. And as soon as your own energy is produced, it gets charged again. So basically using it just like a solar battery storage system. The only question is how this affects the car battery. If the battery then fails a few years earlier, it really wouldn’t be cost-effective...

My husband and I are still hoping to find an existing house in need of renovation, maybe even a listed building. Then we would make the switch.That's a charming dream, but I don't think you want to take on a listed building 🙂

Once bidirectional charging is resolved, I might reconsider my long-standing rule that a car shouldn’t cost more than three months’ income and start looking at the new electric vehicles on the market. Unfortunately, at the moment, I’m not really interested in any vehicle under 100,000 (no currency specified).As the professor used to say to us students: "Your poverty annoys me" 😎

The home builder of 2022 wouldn’t be interested in that yet either. Is my forum name being defamed here now? ;-)In the end, both renovators and new builders will face significantly higher investment costs without these being reflected in proportionally lower operating expenses. Considering the energy required to produce the insulation materials, the whole insulation process is also highly questionable from an ecological standpoint, although no one wants to hear that.
