ᐅ Price Increase Due to Market Conditions

Hello,

We received an offer from a builder in March. Since then, we have been in ongoing discussions regarding changes to the building specifications, conducting soil surveys, etc.
Now the soil report is available, and the builder is not only increasing the price for the basement but also raising the total price of the house by nearly 10% due to the market situation! That seems quite high to us.
First offer in March, latest revision in July, and now it is mid-September...

What do you think? Counteroffer?

If you’ve already been quite on his nerves in the meantime, that suspicion isn’t entirely unfounded.

What do the 10% refer to? The initial offer from March?

10% is a joke, he either doesn’t want to work with you or he has someone else paying. In my opinion, unprofessional, keep looking.

If I were you, I would just keep looking. Why are you waiting for the geotechnical report from the developer? Isn’t that then your "construction site"?

Well, it’s constantly being discussed and it’s still just an “offer.”

My Serbian colleague told me, “Germans always want offers, always changing this and that. You can’t live from offers!”

Sometimes you just have to say, “This is how we sign, but I’m not taking the 10%.”

Then you agree on 3% or so.

Maybe he wants to “force” you to sign now.
