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 also disagree with your prediction of electricity tourism. The advantage is: If we buy more electricity using spot market tariffs, we can charge vehicle batteries when electricity is cheap and use the battery power when prices rise. Besides the potentially significant savings a household can achieve, this also helps smooth demand shifts on the market. Win-win. Considering that the large batteries in cars are relatively affordable, this makes even more sense in several ways.H

Then just increase your income accordingly :pOr I keep going as before and let someone else (usually a company) bear the depreciation of the first 3 years.P

From an objective standpoint, this would actually make a lot of sense, because there is much more potential for climate protection in existing buildings than in new single-family home construction. In the end, fewer single-family homes will be built because they become more expensive, which benefits the climate but not the typical private home builder.My husband and I are still hoping to find an existing house in need of renovation, perhaps even one that is listed as a heritage building. In that case, we would make the switch.
