ᐅ How many square meters can you get for a turnkey KfW40 house with a €150,000 budget?

Hello everyone,

I am very new to the topic of new construction and recently visited a model home park where all the houses are much too large for a couple and children.

Is it realistic to have 100 sqm (approximately 1076 sq ft) or more of living space? Have you ever considered this and had to give up something for reasons you prefer not to mention? What were your reasons? I appreciate any advice and opinions!

Thank you very much,

Why KfW40 plus? Because you burn 40k just on building services alone.

Honestly? Forget about the 150,000€ and KfW40 plus very quickly. For that price, you definitely won’t get 100m² (1,076 sq ft) built to KfW40 plus standards. The website you showed is more advertising and misleading than reality. What about funds for additional construction costs? Selection of materials and finishes? Landscaping? Land purchase? Property transfer taxes and fees? Even just for the house, 150,000€ for a turnkey KfW40 plus home is unrealistic. You surely know what KfW40 plus means, right? At that price, the complete photovoltaic system including battery storage would have to be included... no way.

We are also building a KfW40 plus home ourselves, and just the photovoltaic system with 9.9 kWh and 6.5 kWh storage costs 24,000€.

According to the opinion of most people here in the forum, with 150K you will, at best, be able to build a single-family house of about 50 sq meters (540 sq ft). And that would meet the energy saving ordinance standard.

Some others claim that you can somehow build a 100 sq meter (1,080 sq ft) cabin for that price. Energy saving ordinance standard and no extras.

I have no idea. But I always find these debates quite entertaining. :-)

First, please clarify what the 150,000 euros are intended to cover.

Is this an all-in, move-in ready price (including all flooring and painting), plus additional construction costs, carport/garage, outdoor areas, kitchen, and lighting? Or just part of these?

And how many children count as children? 1, 2, 3, or 4?
