Hello everyone,

How did you find your house, and how long did the search take? I am looking for a single-family house, a terraced house, or a semi-detached house about 30 km (20 miles) around Münster. Unfortunately, I have a limited budget of around 200,000 to 250,000. I have been searching online for a while now, for example on property portals. I have also sent several inquiries, but the responses have been quite disappointing. Either there is no reply at all, there are already numerous interested parties, or the property is already sold. The market is really very tight at the moment.

Do you have any tips on the best way to proceed or where else I might look? I am running out of ideas. Would using a real estate agent be an option for you?

If you have certain expectations, you should plan for about 2 years.

However, there are situations where the person searching isn't ready to make a definite decision, which can extend the process – but that should not apply to you yet.
