Hello,

I understand that this is purely speculative.

How do you assess the situation for the coming years? Will there be an economic crisis like in 2008/2009, followed by a decrease in construction costs and many houses (including “newer” ones) being sold?

I’m looking forward to your thoughts.

Best regards,
Michael

I would question the significance of stating the distance in kilometers from a home to the workplace.

Some colleagues take longer to travel 8 km (5 miles) within Nuremberg than I do for my 28 km (17 miles) commute on the B8 into Nuremberg. Interestingly, everyone first says, "You’ve moved so far out," but when I tell them how long it takes me to get to work, they go quiet! And with the electric car, the electricity costs for 22 working days are around €35.

My personal tolerance limit was a one-way commute time of 30 minutes.

You are questioning the relationship between distance and travel time and citing an exception. That’s a comedic technique.

Nonsense!

It’s the same here in Frankfurt. Some colleagues move out to a district incorporated into the city about 100 years ago and absolutely have to drive into the city by car.

Sometimes I’m even faster by train.

I commute by train, which is less stressful and cheaper.

In my opinion, I don’t lose that time because I usually “doze off,” chat online, or read.

But yes, not everyone has good public transport connections.
Yes, and how comfortable and stress-free it is can be seen in your other posts...

When the train runs, everything is fine, but having to wait so often, not getting a seat, or missing the bus you need afterward... it’s frustrating.

I drive the first 13 km (8 miles) in 8 minutes. The remaining two kilometers (1.2 miles) sometimes take 15 minutes. City traffic...

But the combination of living in a rural area and earning a corporate salary works perfectly for me.

What exception? I only saw something about commuting and kilometers. I didn’t read anything about times. My goal was not to take more than 30 minutes to get to work. If that were also possible with a 40km (25 miles) distance, then the extra 10km (6 miles) wouldn’t have been an issue and would have been an alternative when searching for a plot of land.
