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.

I even count myself as upper class.Hardly ever do you hear such a statement in Germany. One could almost rename Germany the "Land of the Middle" – the "upper class" usually means everyone else, as if it were something to be ashamed of.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

To get back on topic: What price range do the properties you are interested in fall into, or what price range did properties that interested you in the past have? From 300,000 to 450,000, it always depends on what is offered (detached house, plot of land, condition).

I’m getting a bit annoyed: Of those who claim to know what it’s like in Duisburg, how many actually live there? I don’t just live in Duisburg, but specifically in Rheinhausen. And – here’s the thing – I even have children. And surprisingly, they have so far managed to get through kindergarten, primary school, and even secondary school (grammar school). Yes, there are grammar schools there. And believe it or not, we live in a detached single-family home in a green area. And we have not been robbed, assaulted, or harassed by gangs yet, even though the kids, as teenagers, sometimes ride their bikes alone late in the evening or at night. Hmm, and how does that fit into the common perception of Rheinhausen? OK, thanks. I will consider looking at offers from Rheinhausen as well; that opens up new possibilities.

chand198614 Nov 2019 21:48Message from the Ruhr area: Even billionaires live here... meaning: You just have to know the rough spots, then life here is wonderful. There are also advantages: Growing up here, people really tend to value heart over money, just as Grönemeyer sang. On the other hand, that makes you frustrated when you visit Munich. Great city, unfortunately inhabited by people who think they’re even better than those from Düsseldorf.
I’d rather look out at night from the roof window at the brightly lit coal mine, beyond the clans and whatever else there is, and be happy to be where people are straightforward, get straight to the point, handle work as soon as they see it, and end the evening together around the grill with beer rather than prosecco.
For children, there are certainly worse things than growing up among this kind of people.

At night, I prefer to look out of the skylight at the brightly lit colliery, beyond the clans and whatever else is going on, and I’m happy to be where people are straightforward, get straight to the point, handle work directly where they see it, and rather spend the evening together around the grill with beer than with prosecco.
.Boring, it can’t get any more cliché than that. Fancy Schröder from Düsseldorf with his office job versus the honest steelworker? That was already exaggerated back in the Schimanski crime series days.
