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.

The Duisburg area and its surroundings within 100km (60 miles) are so unattractive that nobody would want to live there voluntarily. Bavaria is simply a more appealing location, but does it have to be Munich? I don’t think so. To be honest, Bavaria is quite monotonous. I’ve driven through a few times, and all I see are meadows and nothing else. No beautiful landscapes… (you notice that yourself, don’t you?)
But the Münsterland region (you mentioned a 100km (60 miles) radius) is definitely quite unattractive. Or Düsseldorf. The ugliest city there is, and then those ugly national parks…

@Reinhard84.2: Do you have to commute over the Rhine to the east, or do you work in the west? If you’re commuting, I’d avoid the Rhine bridges. Maybe the Bavarians are drawn to the Alps – if you commute north.
