ᐅ Is the real estate market increasingly forcing families to build their own homes?

Actually, we would prefer to avoid building. Unfortunately, existing properties within a 20 km (12 miles) radius have become quite expensive, and affordable rental houses with small gardens are simply scarce.
Until now, we have been living in an old rental apartment without a garden. We would like to change that, but there is a lack of options. The listings on various platforms are overcrowded with families looking for affordable housing.
Who is familiar with this situation, and how do you deal with it?

The interest group calculated based on some realistic case studies In the “warning section,” case studies are calculated using unchanged multiplier rates. These are supposed to be adjusted as part of the reform. To what extent this will happen is uncertain since the multipliers are set locally and the reform does not necessarily ensure changes. Conclusion: there are currently no realistic case studies available, and Scholz’s ministry is entering another review phase.
Rightfully, Scholz is entering the next review phase. This is a massive prestige project with significant political implications because it directly affects the finances of many people.
However, as long as cities, municipalities, or whoever can change the local and actual tax rates using leverage, they are ultimately the ones "responsible" for price increases. The reform only has an indirect effect; Scholz does not receive any direct money from it anyway.

... and often only based on the technical standards of the 1920s... furthermore, tenant laws in these countries are by far not as strongly in favor of tenants as they are here, and for example, in Romania—the EU leader in home ownership rates—there is practically no inward migration. On the contrary, every week someone moves away again and sells their property. Ownership rates cannot be compared directly.Exactly.
I was about to say, have you really taken a close look at the “average houses” in Portugal, Spain, Italy, or on the various islands like Corsica, Malta, etc., not to mention Eastern Europe? I’m not talking about the upscale luxury properties in prime locations, but for example the houses in the rural areas, owned by average people. None of you would want to live in those (and neither would I).
Are you familiar with the typical countryside settlers’ house in Germany? Where the bricklayer or roofer lives? Four people, a maximum of 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft), one bathroom, a steep staircase leading upstairs, small rooms, an extension that used to be a stable but now stores tools and gardening equipment... but it’s a home—and much better, a hundred times better than a moldy rental apartment at BUWOG or similar.

I know the houses in Corsica quite well... often relatively run-down, often small, but from a climatic perspective, they don’t need to be the same as in a German low mountain range. Unfortunately, I haven’t been close to the only ski resort in Corsica yet... it would be interesting to see if the houses there look a bit more weather-resistant. But honestly, I would personally be willing to give up some luxury to live in Corsica.
