    Another house price thread

    I wash just having a look at house prices in the posh parts of Munich, and I decided to have a look at some of the further out places. Not ridiculously far out, but places I have been on my bike. They were quite cheap, so I had a look at some further out places, just to see how stupidly cheap it could get.

    I could buy a family house within an hour or so of work for €100k.

    You can also buy whole blocks of flats here, which is quite interesting.

    I'm off to have a look around the rest of Germany now.

      This was in a village outside of Augsburg.

      Just having a look in some other states, you can get a 200 square meter 8 room house for less than €50k in Baden Wattenburg if you don't mind living in the middle of nowhere.

      Is there anywhere that cheap in the UK even in the crappy parts? A 2 up 2 down in a drab part of the midlands costs twice that.

          I expect that is a factor here as well. Ideal if you could work from home though.

                House prices are far lower in Germany than the UK, largely due to the fact that in Germany, rents are held down by the Mieterbund (tenants union).

                  And maybe also because locals prefer to invest money into some productive assets that earn money and prosper the nation, rather than engage in zero sum property spekulation.

                    No, that's unlikely. If buying property was a way to make money, people would be doing it.
