ᐅ The situation in the real estate market... unbelievable

Hello everyone,
We are currently looking for a property in the Lower Rhine region, which is not a particularly sought-after area, but unfortunately, the prices are not any better than in eastern Germany. When calling several real estate agents, they mentioned up to 50 viewings scheduled for one property. This was for a standard semi-detached house with a somewhat larger plot. I get the impression that as soon as a house has a garden bigger than a chicken coop, the interest is incredible.
Of course, the municipalities are not designating any new building land, as that would spoil the surroundings… (to what extent that is still possible is left to their imagination). This naturally has the convenient side effect that existing building plots and older properties are insanely expensive.
You can probably wait half a lifetime for the supposed recession, falling prices, and available properties. It’s all frustrating and a real pity.
Thanks for listening.

in the area KR, Moers, south Duisburg on the left bank of the Rhine.Then you must have specific preferences – the market is actually full of options. Especially the southern part of Duisburg on the left bank of the Rhine is very affordable due to its less desirable residential areas (Rheinhausen, Friemersheim, or similar). Krefeld, except for a few good neighborhoods, is generally not highly sought after for housing either. I find Moers nice (I live right next to Moers), and it’s also affordable.nordanney schrieb:

As you said, the prices are not like those in the East; it's significantly more expensive in the East.

True, there are plenty of offers. However, as you mentioned, prices are not like in the east; in the east it’s significantly more expensive. That’s true, but what limits us is our son. Without children, I would also consider moving to Rheinhausen or similar areas, but I don’t want to impose that on them. As you already mentioned, some areas are therefore ruled out, such as areas close to the center of Krefeld...

I have also lived with two children in Rheinhausen – Oestrum is to the north and really nice (bordering Schwafheim). The kindergarten in Rheinhausen was great, despite a high proportion of immigrants and generally lower educational backgrounds.

That’s true, the limitation for us is our son. Without children, I would consider moving to Rheinhausen or a similar place, but I don’t want to put them through that. May I quickly ask what it is about Rheinhausen that is so bad for sons?
