AMERICAN: Let's see if we can find something affordable in Munich. 😂😂😂 It's like germans come to the US trying to find something affordable in Manhattan 😂😂😂
German architect here: For 400k you may find a decent home in eastern Germany and even there, only in small town. A nice house, 2000sqft without a ton of repairs necessary, will usually run between 500 and 700k in most of southern Germany. Most major cities will top 1 million easily if you look for a house in somewhat acceptable (again, far away from perfect) shape. Repairs are also way more expensive than in the US. Updating to a new heating system can easily be 30-50k+ Eur. A new roof starts at around 40k ( just the tiles and some insulation, not the load bearing wooden structure). Windows from a good manufacturer will start around 700-1000 Euro installed for a standard size (like 5x5 ft., nothing of big sizes)
We bought one in a small town in Rheinland-Pfalz (100.000 people) at 120m² from 1960 for 200k and it was a fixer upper. It would not have been necessary to do anything, but we'll do everything. New electricity, new heating inkl. pipes, new windows, new bathrooms, new walls even (Entkernung). Will come to 400k. And it's not even with owned property but Erbpacht, meaning you kinda "rent" it. We pay about 1k per year. Not very much, but still liability. It's a big garden though.
for 400k you can get: - a rundown dixi toilet in munich - a good apartment or a slightly run down smaller house in a medium size western german town - the whole city of chemnitz ok, obviously *slight* exeggeration, but i was shocked when i saw the prices in chemnitz as someone who lives close to munich.
The "half share" means its one half of the house. The left or the right side. Therefore there are two doors next to each other. If you look close at the picture, you can see them.
@@mats7492 Yes I do know that. My post related to the original version which is already corrected. If I would have known about the correction I would have deleted my post. Since you have reacted, deleting my post is unfair because it would leave your post without a reference.
I grew up in Osterberg. An 800 people village. And the one American Reaction Channel I watch ends up there while looking for a german house as a joke. What are the odds?
The sky comes free with every house, and its always the same one. If it says "Musterfoto" - Example photo - its probably a house that is not yet build. There are companies who build standard model houses, as a complete package, ready to move in. I guess thats what it was.
Nah, most likely someone lost their home to the bank because they couldn't afford it anymore and the bank tries to sell it fast, usually under worth, most often half it's worth. But there's a catch, you can't walk the house before you buy it. They don't even bother taking a real picture of the outside. They just want it gone fast so someone new will keep paying that mortgage. It's a win win really, you get a Chance of a cheap house and the bank it's money. Also they are sold at auctions, so you might get it cheap but usually it's the highest bidder gets the house.
@@Kath-Erina It's an auction run by the district court. It can, theoretically, end up selling for half of its value if nobody bids a decent price, but realistically speaking, it won't. I have been to some of these auctions. It's a one hour auction, for the first 55 minutes it looks like it won't even reach the 50% cut off, but then in the last five minutes some of the people present suddenly remember that they work for large real estate firms flush with money or that they are personally millionaires and really want the house, and then the price shoots up to normal market levels and beyond.
Generally speaking: The cheaper the real estate (comparing comparable objects: size, type...) the more expensive your commute will be. We say: the farther you go out of the city center the cheaper the house will be, but you will pay it by buying gasoline. What you need to look for: Medical installations (doctors of all branches, hospitals), schools for your kids in walking or biking distance, shops for daily necessities in walking distance or biking distance. While your wish for an American fridge is understandable, in Germany these are only a nice to have. We have similar models here, with all the options. You will not need one because your shopping habits will change to small amounts of fresh veggies and meat -- when you can walk 10 minutes to the grocer, butcher, baker, or farmers market. You will grocery shop two or three times a week. In rural areas you will often find farmers with shops on their farm, _Hofladen,_ with fresh produce, meat, dairy products. During the respective harvesting seasons they undercut every store when it comes to prices and freshness. Depending on your qualification find a job here first and learn to speak German. With the generally higher salary in the US, save money for your move. The lower your mortgage the lower your monthly payment. In short: if you can afford to pay interest on loaned money, you can afford to save the same amount of money beforehand. -- You were looking at interest rates for the mortgage. If you have a fixed interest rate for ten years with an effective annual rate of 4% (just for easy calculation) a 200.000 € loan will cost you in the first ten years: 80.000€. About the higher salary mentioned above: You earn more in the USA because some costs are higher and compensated in the US and in Germany the deductions are higher. But you have virtually free medicare for your son because children are included in your or your wife's health insurance. If you wife is a stay-at-home mom, she is also included in your health insurance. Schooling is free in Germany. Do your math and decide.
if they put up a "Musterfoto" it makes me suspicious how bad (old, degenerated, damaged) the real house is - or it is because of the current resident does not want a foto of it in the internet. 400000 Euros for a "old" house means you will have to invest another ca. 300000 to bring it up to legal energy status (replace the heating, insulation, maybe the windows) and renew the plumbing and wiring.
Usually, some new build houses are offered in this way. Often, however, you have to "bring" the land with you or, depending on the region, pay almost the same amount again to purchase the land. You rarely find complete offers for this amount. For older buildings, photos of the outside including the garden are usually shown. If the house is still actively rented, the tenant can refuse access for photographs to be taken.
Where I live, all the (forced) auctions are listed that way, so whenever it says Musterfoto you already know you gotta trudge to court and bid with other people lol
The square meters usually refer to the living area in the house. The house at 8:10 has two floors with probably some 40 m² each. It might (!) have an attic with one room. The basement doesn't count for living area. But this house needs serious renovation. And it is only a _Doppelhaushälfte,_ a semi-detached house. That means you have a neighbor very close by.
Many houses are terraced/row or semi detached. There are solid walls between the units. Some houses are for rent, quite a good option if you do not stay for decades...
They are. Much more than German houses. Housing, especially for rent, is actually still cheap(er) in Germany than many other places. It's just that with our regulations, we can't just decide to buy a house and live with that debt. In the US, someone will give you that loan you need (even if they shouldn't) whereas in Germany, you probably won't get it (even if you should).
@@MellonVegan I'm from Seattle and when my parents saw my German home they were surprised we could afford such a place. It's a cottage on 5 acres. They guessed its worth at 800,000. Yah, that's King County Washington State prices. We had this property appraised at 275,000!
You can get also the XL to 4XL fridges in Germany, the next local house household appliance shops such as MediaMarkt or Saturn also offer them. You also don't need a pickup truck to transport them, the shops offer a delivery service and they also dispose of old appliances. There are also countless providers on the Internet. Germans generally have no need for XXL refrigerators, as they buy fresh products more often, and these cannot be stored in the refrigerator indefinitely. People who have their own house usually have a basement with a large freezer or freezer chest. Some also have there a 2nd resev refrigerator, in case they have a lot to cool, e.g. drinks for a party.
Whenever it sais "Musterfoto" somewhere the picture doesn't have anything to do with whatever you are looking at. Those are most often not even built yet...
Prices did got a little too high too fast. Here 8000 people town. My new neighbours bought a house wich was built around 16-18 years ago. Did cost around max 200k maybe below. Was sold for 240k few years later. Now was 450-500k.
@@FelixFuchsHase1105... liegt nicht an der Ampel, du Genie, es liegt an den gestiegenen Zinsen. Auf der anderen Seite ist Wohnraum knapp in DE, also kannste immer noch recht viel Geld bekommen, geht nur nicht wenn man kurzfristig was verkaufen und den Reibach machen möchte.
Hello Ryan Wass, at around 7:30 you asked what that is. It is an oven, an oven for heating not cooking. We can not see what will be burned in it, but most likely wood. Greetings Juy Juka
Imagine you move to Germany as an American speak maybe few words German and ending up in a small bavarian town where they speak in a dialect which even most germans can't understand 😅
In the countryside in eastern Germany and countryside in north-western Germany it's much cheaper and actually really nice to live. But few people know how nice it is. You gotta have a car, but there is work enough within an hours drive from everywhere and you pay half the prices for houses.
no one can even afford flats in munich ... its by far the most expensive city xD for 400k you get nothing there musterfoto means "example pic" so it doesnt show the house xD the "Half" house shows all btw, you only buy the half its a town house so there are like several houses wall by wall and often its 2 houses break 2 houses break so a big house in 2 parts for 2 owners
Ryan, look in Bitburg or Rammstein, Kaiserslautern. There are a lot of Americans there and houses starting at 150k-300k. What do you want in Bavaria, the most expensive corner in all of Germany? You can find the cheapest houses in Emsland (North Germany) near the city of Papenburg 100-200k. If you buy a house, there are additional costs such as property transfer tax, notary and other costs. Add at least 6% to the purchase price
i googled how much provision/commission houses cost, and it seems to be up to 7% on top of the prices that were shown in this video. that is not cheap, but why would someone who doesn't really want to buy a house voluntarily limit the search to houses without that fee ? even with that fee, there might be a lot more houses to select from, and some of them still cheaper than what he found in the video ... (and what many others have said: sane people won't start searching for a cheap house inside of any big towns, especially new york or munich)
the house at 7:20 looks like a "Doppelhaushälfte" or part of a "houserow" meaning 2 hauses sharing a wall or even 2 walls ( let and right like apppartments) makind them cheaper to build because well lesds wals to pay for ^^ These kind of houses are quite small, kinda are made for smal 1-2 childen famalies. they are kinda a big 2 storry appartment with a litle garden. 9:40 thats a build project, but you normaly have to buy the land ontop off that price
the castle could be in your price range but comes with the responsibility of restorating it according to the standards of the Denkmalschutz (protection of historical building/landscapes and sights), depending on the degree of protection you may be fined to modernize anything in/on/around it, possibly you'd even have to allow tours etc and of course you'd have to pay the landscapers keeping the gardens in historical and accurate order.
Ungerhausen is not near Black Forest, but near to the Allgäu. You had your map filtered to Bavaria, and Bavaria is thankfully not very near to the Black Forest. But it has annexed back in the time of Napoleon the bigger part of the Allgäu, which is the Swabian part of the hilly region at the foot of the Alps. Ungerhausen is in the lower Allgäu (Unterallgäu) at an elevation of 615m; in the South, where the Allgäu borders on Tyrol, the mountains get up to 2600m.
Even my grandparents' prefabricated house, which is slightly water-damaged and used building materials that have since been classified as carcinogenic, was still valued at 450,000. I could never afford to buy my own house on my salary, even renovating such a house is financially unthinkable.
But which USAsian would buy evil communist houses ? Its maybe already worse enough to just step onto evil ex-communist ground. Maybe they need a pope first to cleanse it from all that evil 😂🤣 On the other hand .. if there are maybe enough nice AFDlers around, which all for sure love also Trump and the good american traditions (and former good german traditions) he stands for ..
But only if you are a good craftsman with very good knowledge of German (for hardware stores and neighborhood help) and have a well-filled bank account. You should also have “some” knowledge of German building law/right of way. Btw The days of Super Eastern bargains are long gone. In addition, houses/apartments in the former GDR area are now more likely to be sold to former GDR residents and their descendants.
For calculating house price you can take the price for constucting a new building which is around 300.000 EUR for 150 m2 plus the price for the piece of land to place it. If the building is cheaper you have to effort the difference for repair and reconsfuction i.e. new roof or a new heating system or change old windows to new ones. We bougth ou 120 m2 house in the countryside, 10 minutes from big town, 30 minutes from 100k town, for 150k EUR knowing to have to spend 150k more. 20k for windows and 45k for heating are done now, 60k for roof and 50k for internal works will follow.
Ryan, you simply don't need an American refrigerator here in Germany! You will love to buy your fresh food every two or three days here, by riding on a bike to the grocery store 😅 Btw.... don't forget your own bag!😂
As for areas, ignore the picture-postcard landscapes. Hessen (around Frankfurt) and Northrhine-Westphalia (around Cologne) has hills and lakes, rivers and pastures as well -- you can have a reasonably-priced house in a smaller town and have big-city amenities within an hour's drive by car or public transport, too. And they'll be MUCH cheaper, too.
You should look for houses around Cottbus for example, the east and north of Germany are much cheaper than the south! I just checked on Immoscout, there are 29 houses in the price range of 100.000-400.000 near Heilbronn (where I live), but over 3000 houses listed in the state of Brandenburg(in northeast Germany) 😅
The first two houses near Munich you checked and the ones with the fake pictures have not yet been built. The company advertising here just own some ground, and they will build a house for you. What you see on the pictures ("Musterfoto") are just examples, how it could look like.
In Bavaria, the architects Weber + Hummel have built modern houses, villas, residential complexes, etc. Modern architecture in Germany can be very cool.
Its like always.. location location location... around munich is like 3 times the price then around hannover. We build a new house in Northrhine Westphalia (~50km away from cologne and Düsseldorf) with property for around 500k.. buts a house with 3 apartments. Our old house was sold for around 220k.. In my town you can get a coffe for around 4€.. while Cologne or Düsseldorf it would be like 8€-10€
Half shared house mean two houses built together wall to wall. You could cut it in two, everything is double, even the walls between the two double houses are thicker than a usual wall. It's a way to make housing more affordable. You share the building ground with your Doppelhaus-Partner, not the house 😂 P. S. Musterbild means this house isnt build yet. They need your money to start
oh, very interesting, the house in Ungerhausen is only 20km far away from my house. I am very familiar with this area. The village of Ungerhausen is about 80 km from the Bavarian Alps (in the Allgäu region).
If you want, you can buy my house. 120 squermeter optional about 135 squermeter if you build another room under the roof. The yard is about 1200 squermeter. 😎 so plenty of Room for you and your family. It is a stand alone house with a awesome neighbourhood. I renewed all of the electricity and waterpipes. Even got solar on the roof. My house is located in a small town with about 50.000 people living there in the vicinity of Cologne. Price? 450.000€ negotiate 😝
"Musterfoto", Muster+Foto, is German for a picture of, like, a production sample, how something would/should look like. think "serving suggestion" fine-print on food packaging.
Do a search for Immobilien. You don't want a single family home. You want what we in the states would call a condo. Repairs are very expensive in Germany, and they have to be performed by registered craftspeople. So you want to get into a multi-family house where you pay a bit like rent every month toward house upkeep, yard work, housekeeping, maybe even someone puts the trash out for you. Try coming down south our way, to Wildberg, Calw, Nagold area.
If you want to have a look for an afordable house in Germany again, look in the north. The area of Bremen/Bremerhaven, Oldenburg and so on. The north is typically more affordable then the south is in Germany.
Even the one photo you see for the first one you looked at, is NOT an actual photo of the house. It's a random house somewhere that may or may not look somewhat similar. You can tell it says "Musterfoto" on the picture in the bottom, which means something along the lines of "example photo". It's not an actual photo of the location you're looking at.
Oh my, I had so much fun with this video! I was house-hunting for over 1,5 years and know exactly what you encountered. 1. You picked Munich, of all cities. Seeing you with zero results twice had me rolling on the floor, since Munich is the most expensive German city (closely followed by my home city, unfortunately). The cheapest existing homes there currently on the market are "Erbpachthäuser" for ~ 450k-500k. But Erbpacht means that you basically rent the property and only own the house. The rent can be cheap, but it can ramp up. The next cheapest is 53m² for 600k. 4 room SFH from the 60's starts at 650k at the edge of Munich. That's a price you'd pay for a new home in other areas. 2. Your next two picks are both "Zwangsversteigerungen" - meaning that these homes are being focefully auctioned off by the local courts. They protect the identity of the property by showing default photos. If you find a price that's too good to be true: Most likely an ad for firms that sell catalogues for auction dates (you can find the details elsewhere, but people are lazy...) The price is the estimated market value, from which the starting bid is calculated. But yeah, they almost never sell for that price. 3. The house with the barn? You have only seen the photos of the renovated barn. In old rural towns, properties called "Hofreite" are common. This means that the property was once used by farmers, they have one house for the family and several "Wirtschaftsgebäude" like barns or garages. These buildings are the framework to a small courtyard, and the entrance is usually a huge gate. Some larger & older ones may have also been used by knights in elden times. 4. the next ones are ads placed by a building company. They put up a price suggestion for their product + an existing property. The caveat: You have to be lucky to buy the property in the first place, because many building companies don't sell property. And it wouldn't be recommended either as you'd pay more taxes if you bought home&property from the same company.
That first one ist a 2 family home with two seperate whole houses that share a middle wall. They "share" one house so its half of it. But you have that half all by yourself.
8:03 living space is counted only in actual rooms that u use for living, i.e. all toilets, washing rooms, laundry rooms, technical rooms for electircity/heating, all corridords etc. do NOT count into "living space"
dont go to the black forest tourist traps everywhere if you whant forrest and country site go to the palatinate forest lots of affordable living space and a better place to be
Germany is a nice neighbour of us (Netherlands). But they are so slow in IT. They live at least 15 to 25 years behind us. Analoge is often still their way of doing things. It seems the digital age has still to start in most of Germany ...
i was a Draftsman (something like an architect). And i drew alot of "Livinghaus" and "Massahaus" buildings. If you wanna build one of these in germany it costs around 400K €. Only the house. Ontop you would have to buy the ground to. so calculate 600K-700K € for getting your own house with ground.
First: I'm so happy to see that you're actually doing a video checking out immoscout in Germany (as I once suggested - don't know if it came from my comment or if you had that idea yourself and just googled the biggest page). Anyways, here's a tip: For an overview of the market and real photos of the actual houses you should leave out the maximum price. The scam houses you found in your price range were so crappy that they didn't even dare to upload a single photo of them. They were "Musterfotos", meaning example images and you can be pretty sure the actual house looks nothing like that :D. You're not REALLY looking to buy a house here anyways so instead of the price type in the other criteria you're interested in, i.e. number of rooms, size (square feet/meter), type of house (use the filter!). And then sort from lowest to highest (or highest to lowest). You'll get lots of photos and a good idea about the prices of decent houses. And then you'll understand why most of us prefer renting instead of buying^^. Hope you'll do another immoscout video without the price restrictions to see houses that people really live in nowadays instead of those run-down relics from the 60s :D
In germany... a lot are still in use when sold and the owner is in process of moving or so, because we like to do moves on our own without hireing workers for it and sqeeze our stuff into our vw golfs heatchbacks. Also you don't buy online, you visit your options in person. Prices - yea like, I sold my grandparents house and also disclosed no price, mainly to see what the potential buyer would offer me and I wanted to have multibles so I can decide, who deserve it the most while making a good price. All the *scout sites are kinda same company as far as I understand and "immo" stands for "immobilie" -> non movable asset, in comparesin to autoscout, thats for cars. The something something *24 is also a verryyyy german thing from the late 1990/early 2000th.

The last one is right next to my hometown. The wheather is always fine,, and even in december there are 20 hours of sunshine, or 5 hours a week... Btw Black Forest would be 200 kms to the west.
I didn't watch and heard Ryan say : "I don't know what a mustard house is". Ein Musterhaus!!!😂 Ach Ryan, Du must noch viel lernen.😏 Aber Senfhaus klingt schonmal hübsch.
Rule of thumb: For 600k in Munich you either get 1. a 3 room 75m² apartment in an apartment block in an area known for social difficulties 2. a 2 room 57m² apartment in a normal apartment building elsewhere in the city For the same money in the outback of East Frisia in Lower Saxony you get a full 10 room house with a huuuge garden
If you want to find houses near the Black Forest, you have to check in Baden-Württemberg, not Bavaria. The Black Forest ist on the western part of Baden-Württemberg.
It would make more sense to look for where you work first and then for a house in the area :) best houses are usually close to a lake, as Starnberg for example.
depending on the house there might not yet have been built an interior or you'd only see empty rooms anyway. rather often you'd find the floorplan with more or less exact measurements though. additionally you don't actually buy the building only the property it's built on, the building(s) just come with it. i'd say the house is similar to furniture on the US housing market, remove it or keep it, your decision (if you are allowed to decide that on your own).
11:11 The house has a kitchen, well but they will put the price if the kitchen, if it is not included, on top of the price of the house. So you gotta pay for the kitchen anyways. 11:30 It might be that your american fridge is not allowed here in Germany cause it may have some´gasses inside its cooling system that are forbidden here but not in the US.
just fyi ... you cant find a house near the black forest in bavaria 😉 ... the black forest is in baden würtenberg 😄 ... but you can find a similar area in bavaria the "bayrischer wald" it is located on the eastern border close to the Czech Republic and austria 😊 ... the cheapest houses you will find in germany are probably located in the rural areas of Brandenburg
The best thing about the picture "rant" of teh first house is, that on the picture it is written "Musterhaus" wich means, on the picture might not even be teh real house. :D At best ot is that style of house.
I laughed so hard when you were disappointed because there is no house in Munich in your price range… and then you mentioned 400.000 😂😂 And then there is this awesome house… which only has a „Musterfoto“ 😂
Those pictures which you said were fake photos: those are normally projects for new houses. You will buy a house like shown on those photos for the price mentioned BUT you will additionally have to buy the property. Depending on the size of the property and the price per squaremetre the town/city wants to have you will have to pay another 200.000 Euros or more for the property....
As people said, looking in Munich probably isn't the right move. If you want a city there are many very pretty cities around the country with much better prices, whereever you go honestly. Wether it's the south, the north, the east or the west.
It would be cool if you could make another video with a higher budget like 1.2mil or something like that and perhaps not towards Munich, since you mostly (but not always) see slightly older houses there. To see a bit more modern houses that are being built today instead of the old cliché houses that everyone knows.
Having gone through it, I can tell you that finding and buying a house in Germany can be a traumatic experience. Prepare for a years-long journey, if you are are lucky and wealthy enough to even think about purchasing your own home - something that does not apply to the majority of Germans. And "prepare" has to be taken literal, otherwise the first thing that will happen is that you fall for the scam behind to these rendered, non-existing houses you already found, and those will cost you thousands of Euros for absolutely nothing. Oh, and also be prepared to pay an additional 5-figures amount on top of the listed prices for estate agents, notary and taxes.
start looking for pictures that do not have the term "Musterfoto" on it, because its actually not a photo of the house itself at all. It might just be an auction and for some reason they do not put in the actual photos of an auction.
My 2 room flat is worth 400k lol, a house in a popular city will cost you at least double that, if not more. My parents bought a semidetached home in ‘04 for 350k, today the houses in our neighbourhood are worth about a million euros each, just because the prices increased so much, it’s absolutely insane.
Musterfoto means it is an example picture. The house doesn't exist yet. That's why there aren't more pictures. Also the price doesn't include everything you need to build that house. And the one house you found will probably not come with a kitchen. But they will try to sell the kitchen to you.
Like most people looking for a house they can afford, you are looking in the WRONG PLACE. Look for a house outside HILDESHEIM or some other small or middle-size city without connection to major metro areas. You would be astonished at how inexpensive they can be - but you have to bring your own money to live from, as employment is most often available only in the metro areas.
What I value about him and his video is his honesty. You can tell he's really interested in things because he remembers facts he last heard/saw months ago. You can only remember things from a long time ago if you either have a good memory (which he claims not have) or if you are genuinely interested in the subject
Don’t forget the "Kaufnebenkosten", I think it’s incidental costs in English. Usually, that’s another 10 to 15 % of the price. Even more, when you have to pay an estate agent.
"Today we search an affordable House." And Ryan starts in Munich, Germanys most expensive City. Hahaha. :D
And then goes to Nürnberg, which is not much better.

AMERICAN: Let's see if we can find something affordable in Munich.
😂😂😂
It's like germans come to the US trying to find something affordable in Manhattan
😂😂😂
Something affordable in Manhattan sounds more realistic.
German architect here: For 400k you may find a decent home in eastern Germany and even there, only in small town.
A nice house, 2000sqft without a ton of repairs necessary, will usually run between 500 and 700k in most of southern Germany. Most major cities will top 1 million easily if you look for a house in somewhat acceptable (again, far away from perfect) shape.
Repairs are also way more expensive than in the US. Updating to a new heating system can easily be 30-50k+ Eur. A new roof starts at around 40k ( just the tiles and some insulation, not the load bearing wooden structure). Windows from a good manufacturer will start around 700-1000 Euro installed for a standard size (like 5x5 ft., nothing of big sizes)
Actually in the Ruhr Area and wide surroundings, it's pretty possible to find a fine home between 350 k and 450 k.
We bought one in a small town in Rheinland-Pfalz (100.000 people) at 120m² from 1960 for 200k and it was a fixer upper. It would not have been necessary to do anything, but we'll do everything. New electricity, new heating inkl. pipes, new windows, new bathrooms, new walls even (Entkernung).
Will come to 400k.
And it's not even with owned property but Erbpacht, meaning you kinda "rent" it. We pay about 1k per year. Not very much, but still liability.
It's a big garden though.
Dude, he proved you wrong right in this video! Didn't you watch it til the end?
@@viomouse because no one wants to live there
for 400k you can get:
- a rundown dixi toilet in munich
- a good apartment or a slightly run down smaller house in a medium size western german town
- the whole city of chemnitz
ok, obviously *slight* exeggeration, but i was shocked when i saw the prices in chemnitz as someone who lives close to munich.
Musterfoto means "example". It can be, that the real house looks (much) different.
Or must even be build.
"Musterfoto" means the house looks so bad they prefer not to upload a picture
"Musterfoto" in general means something between "fixer upper" and "burned to the ground".
Often yxou have this sort of picture when the house is really worn out and its no noemal selling but a forced sale.
@@eaglevision993 Not necessarily. It can also mean "to be built".
The "half share" means its one half of the house. The left or the right side.
Therefore there are two doors next to each other.
If you look close at the picture, you can see them.
the picture is a musterfoto, that's not gonna be the house
1:25 Immo stands for „Immobilien“, which means „real estate“. There are also other scout24s, like AutoScout24(for cars)
Property is too broad, since everything you own is property. In this case _real estate_ is a much more fitting translation.
@@McGhinch immobilie is the exact translation for real estate..

The sky comes free with every house, and its always the same one.
If it says "Musterfoto" - Example photo - its probably a house that is not yet build. There are companies who build standard model houses, as a complete package, ready to move in. I guess thats what it was.
Nah, most likely someone lost their home to the bank because they couldn't afford it anymore and the bank tries to sell it fast, usually under worth, most often half it's worth. But there's a catch, you can't walk the house before you buy it. They don't even bother taking a real picture of the outside. They just want it gone fast so someone new will keep paying that mortgage. It's a win win really, you get a Chance of a cheap house and the bank it's money. Also they are sold at auctions, so you might get it cheap but usually it's the highest bidder gets the house.
@@Kath-Erina It's an auction run by the district court. It can, theoretically, end up selling for half of its value if nobody bids a decent price, but realistically speaking, it won't. I have been to some of these auctions. It's a one hour auction, for the first 55 minutes it looks like it won't even reach the 50% cut off, but then in the last five minutes some of the people present suddenly remember that they work for large real estate firms flush with money or that they are personally millionaires and really want the house, and then the price shoots up to normal market levels and beyond.
Generally speaking: The cheaper the real estate (comparing comparable objects: size, type...) the more expensive your commute will be. We say: the farther you go out of the city center the cheaper the house will be, but you will pay it by buying gasoline. What you need to look for: Medical installations (doctors of all branches, hospitals), schools for your kids in walking or biking distance, shops for daily necessities in walking distance or biking distance.
While your wish for an American fridge is understandable, in Germany these are only a nice to have. We have similar models here, with all the options. You will not need one because your shopping habits will change to small amounts of fresh veggies and meat -- when you can walk 10 minutes to the grocer, butcher, baker, or farmers market. You will grocery shop two or three times a week. In rural areas you will often find farmers with shops on their farm, _Hofladen,_ with fresh produce, meat, dairy products. During the respective harvesting seasons they undercut every store when it comes to prices and freshness.
Depending on your qualification find a job here first and learn to speak German. With the generally higher salary in the US, save money for your move. The lower your mortgage the lower your monthly payment. In short: if you can afford to pay interest on loaned money, you can afford to save the same amount of money beforehand. -- You were looking at interest rates for the mortgage. If you have a fixed interest rate for ten years with an effective annual rate of 4% (just for easy calculation) a 200.000 € loan will cost you in the first ten years: 80.000€.
About the higher salary mentioned above: You earn more in the USA because some costs are higher and compensated in the US and in Germany the deductions are higher. But you have virtually free medicare for your son because children are included in your or your wife's health insurance. If you wife is a stay-at-home mom, she is also included in your health insurance. Schooling is free in Germany. Do your math and decide.
if they put up a "Musterfoto" it makes me suspicious how bad (old, degenerated, damaged) the real house is - or it is because of the current resident does not want a foto of it in the internet. 400000 Euros for a "old" house means you will have to invest another ca. 300000 to bring it up to legal energy status (replace the heating, insulation, maybe the windows) and renew the plumbing and wiring.
Usually, some new build houses are offered in this way. Often, however, you have to "bring" the land with you or, depending on the region, pay almost the same amount again to purchase the land. You rarely find complete offers for this amount.
For older buildings, photos of the outside including the garden are usually shown.
If the house is still actively rented, the tenant can refuse access for photographs to be taken.
Where I live, all the (forced) auctions are listed that way, so whenever it says Musterfoto you already know you gotta trudge to court and bid with other people lol
The square meters usually refer to the living area in the house. The house at 8:10 has two floors with probably some 40 m² each. It might (!) have an attic with one room. The basement doesn't count for living area. But this house needs serious renovation. And it is only a _Doppelhaushälfte,_ a semi-detached house. That means you have a neighbor very close by.
Many houses are terraced/row or semi detached. There are solid walls between the units.
Some houses are for rent, quite a good option if you do not stay for decades...
I am always laughing when people from the US say their houses are expensive
Sind sie das nicht?
Das typische Ami-Haus, wie er meinte, war doch nicht schön, alt und alles andere.
Aber über 200.000 Dollar LOL
They are. Much more than German houses. Housing, especially for rent, is actually still cheap(er) in Germany than many other places.
It's just that with our regulations, we can't just decide to buy a house and live with that debt. In the US, someone will give you that loan you need (even if they shouldn't) whereas in Germany, you probably won't get it (even if you should).
@@MellonVegan I'm from Seattle and when my parents saw my German home they were surprised we could afford such a place. It's a cottage on 5 acres. They guessed its worth at 800,000. Yah, that's King County Washington State prices. We had this property appraised at 275,000!
@@MellonVegan I can agree :)
it-s written "musterfoto" that means- it's not the real house but only an example foto..... like john doe for a random name😂
I met John Doe once but it wasn't him.
You can get also the XL to 4XL fridges in Germany, the next local house household appliance shops such as MediaMarkt or Saturn also offer them. You also don't need a pickup truck to transport them, the shops offer a delivery service and they also dispose of old appliances. There are also countless providers on the Internet.
Germans generally have no need for XXL refrigerators, as they buy fresh products more often, and these cannot be stored in the refrigerator indefinitely. People who have their own house usually have a basement with a large freezer or freezer chest. Some also have there a 2nd resev refrigerator, in case they have a lot to cool, e.g. drinks for a party.
Black Forest would be near Freiburg, and to the north and east of there. You don't want to look at the prices there, though. :D
Fun fact: i bought some properties 10-12 years ago. I couldn’t afford a single one of them today. The housing market is insane….
starting in Munich is a bolt move 😂😂😂
Whenever it sais "Musterfoto" somewhere the picture doesn't have anything to do with whatever you are looking at. Those are most often not even built yet...
Or sold at auctions through the bank
Yeah real estate is expensive in Germany, the same as everywhere else in "western" developed countries
Prices did got a little too high too fast. Here 8000 people town. My new neighbours bought a house wich was built around 16-18 years ago. Did cost around max 200k maybe below. Was sold for 240k few years later. Now was 450-500k.
Not much better in "Eastern" countries
The US is "western".
we sold our single family townhouse which had 3 floors for less then 300k and then the housing market exploded :( so so sad

Imagine you move to Germany as an American speak maybe few words German and ending up in a small bavarian town where they speak in a dialect which even most germans can't understand 😅
In the countryside in eastern Germany and countryside in north-western Germany it's much cheaper and actually really nice to live. But few people know how nice it is. You gotta have a car, but there is work enough within an hours drive from everywhere and you pay half the prices for houses.
problem is, if you move to east Germany, you live in east Germany.
@@Hagigamer_ true
@@Hagigamer_bad infrastructure and lack of jobs isn't necessarily an East vs West problem, its a general problem.
@@Hagigamer_Better than Munich
so you have to drive at least 2h every day for work to live in a place with no infrastructure or anything to do..
yeeaahh.. no
Hallway, stairs, basement, boiler room, garage, washrooms don't count. So that that is why sometimes the qm2 are so low.
This video is so funny. Ryan's expressions are entertaining.😀
no one can even afford flats in munich ... its by far the most expensive city xD
for 400k you get nothing there
musterfoto means "example pic" so it doesnt show the house xD
the "Half" house shows all btw, you only buy the half its a town house so there are like several houses wall by wall and often its 2 houses break 2 houses break so a big house in 2 parts for 2 owners
Ryan, look in Bitburg or Rammstein, Kaiserslautern. There are a lot of Americans there and houses starting at 150k-300k. What do you want in Bavaria, the most expensive corner in all of Germany?
You can find the cheapest houses in Emsland (North Germany) near the city of Papenburg 100-200k. If you buy a house, there are additional costs such as property transfer tax, notary and other costs. Add at least 6% to the purchase price
Rammstein is the Band, The city has only one "m" ---> Ramstein
i googled how much provision/commission houses cost, and it seems to be up to 7% on top of the prices that were shown in this video.
that is not cheap, but why would someone who doesn't really want to buy a house voluntarily limit the search to houses without that fee ?
even with that fee, there might be a lot more houses to select from, and some of them still cheaper than what he found in the video ...
(and what many others have said: sane people won't start searching for a cheap house inside of any big towns, especially new york or munich)
@@bardioc Right, sorry about that!
@@Anson_AKB Interestingly, if I post free German real estate search platforms, the posts will probably be deleted by Google.
the house at 7:20 looks like a "Doppelhaushälfte" or part of a "houserow" meaning 2 hauses sharing a wall or even 2 walls ( let and right like apppartments) makind them cheaper to build because well lesds wals to pay for ^^ These kind of houses are quite small, kinda are made for smal 1-2 childen famalies. they are kinda a big 2 storry appartment with a litle garden.
9:40 thats a build project, but you normaly have to buy the land ontop off that price
the castle could be in your price range but comes with the responsibility of restorating it according to the standards of the Denkmalschutz (protection of historical building/landscapes and sights), depending on the degree of protection you may be fined to modernize anything in/on/around it, possibly you'd even have to allow tours etc and of course you'd have to pay the landscapers keeping the gardens in historical and accurate order.
Munich is, when a garage earn more money than yourself...

Ungerhausen is not near Black Forest, but near to the Allgäu. You had your map filtered to Bavaria, and Bavaria is thankfully not very near to the Black Forest. But it has annexed back in the time of Napoleon the bigger part of the Allgäu, which is the Swabian part of the hilly region at the foot of the Alps. Ungerhausen is in the lower Allgäu (Unterallgäu) at an elevation of 615m; in the South, where the Allgäu borders on Tyrol, the mountains get up to 2600m.
Most people can never afford to buy a house or apartment.
Even my grandparents' prefabricated house, which is slightly water-damaged and used building materials that have since been classified as carcinogenic, was still valued at 450,000. I could never afford to buy my own house on my salary, even renovating such a house is financially unthinkable.
You have to check houses in former GDR east germany. The houses there are way cheaper than west germany homes
But which USAsian would buy evil communist houses ? Its maybe already worse enough to just step onto evil ex-communist ground. Maybe they need a pope first to cleanse it from all that evil 😂🤣
On the other hand .. if there are maybe enough nice AFDlers around, which all for sure love also Trump and the good american traditions (and former good german traditions) he stands for ..
But only if you are a good craftsman with very good knowledge of German (for hardware stores and neighborhood help) and have a well-filled bank account. You should also have “some” knowledge of German building law/right of way.
Btw The days of Super Eastern bargains are long gone. In addition, houses/apartments in the former GDR area are now more likely to be sold to former GDR residents and their descendants.
Hes a foreigner..
They dont like those in small east german villages..
For calculating house price you can take the price for constucting a new building which is around 300.000 EUR for 150 m2 plus the price for the piece of land to place it. If the building is cheaper you have to effort the difference for repair and reconsfuction i.e. new roof or a new heating system or change old windows to new ones. We bougth ou 120 m2 house in the countryside, 10 minutes from big town, 30 minutes from 100k town, for 150k EUR knowing to have to spend 150k more. 20k for windows and 45k for heating are done now, 60k for roof and 50k for internal works will follow.
Musterfoto is so SuS as well, that’s basically example picture
It means that the property is a foreclosure. They are not allowed to publish the real picture, you can only get them from court documents.

As for areas, ignore the picture-postcard landscapes. Hessen (around Frankfurt) and Northrhine-Westphalia (around Cologne) has hills and lakes, rivers and pastures as well -- you can have a reasonably-priced house in a smaller town and have big-city amenities within an hour's drive by car or public transport, too. And they'll be MUCH cheaper, too.
Start in "Emsland" next time XD the houses are pretty :D
Okay maybe because I life there.... But it's still pretty here XD
You should look for houses around Cottbus for example, the east and north of Germany are much cheaper than the south! I just checked on Immoscout, there are 29 houses in the price range of 100.000-400.000 near Heilbronn (where I live), but over 3000 houses listed in the state of Brandenburg(in northeast Germany) 😅
The first two houses near Munich you checked and the ones with the fake pictures have not yet been built. The company advertising here just own some ground, and they will build a house for you. What you see on the pictures ("Musterfoto") are just examples, how it could look like.
I wish your videos about Germany were longer :(
You've just made the first step... -> looking forward to the welcome party at your new house over here ;-D
In Bavaria, the architects Weber + Hummel have built modern houses, villas, residential complexes, etc. Modern architecture in Germany can be very cool.
Its like always.. location location location... around munich is like 3 times the price then around hannover. We build a new house in Northrhine Westphalia (~50km away from cologne and Düsseldorf) with property for around 500k.. buts a house with 3 apartments. Our old house was sold for around 220k.. In my town you can get a coffe for around 4€.. while Cologne or Düsseldorf it would be like 8€-10€
Where do you find a 10€ coffee? In Munich it’s under 4€.
as someone from Hannover..
Houses here are super expensive now as well..
barely anything under 500-600k in the outer areas, 800k and up in the city
Half shared house mean two houses built together wall to wall. You could cut it in two, everything is double, even the walls between the two double houses are thicker than a usual wall. It's a way to make housing more affordable. You share the building ground with your Doppelhaus-Partner, not the house 😂
P. S. Musterbild means this house isnt build yet. They need your money to start
Und für Amerikaner ist das ein absoluter Kulturschock.

oh, very interesting, the house in Ungerhausen is only 20km far away from my house. I am very familiar with this area. The village of Ungerhausen is about 80 km from the Bavarian Alps (in the Allgäu region).
I guess it is a semi-detached house. So it is not about sharing. It is basically 2 houses that have mutual wall that separates them.

The yard is about 1200 squermeter. 😎 so plenty of Room for you and your family. It is a stand alone house with a awesome neighbourhood. I renewed all of the electricity and waterpipes. Even got solar on the roof. My house is located in a small town with about 50.000 people living there in the vicinity of Cologne. Price? 450.000€ negotiate 😝
"Musterfoto" (sample picture) means it's just a random stock picture, which doesn't show the real house.
"Musterfoto", Muster+Foto, is German for a picture of, like, a production sample, how something would/should look like. think "serving suggestion" fine-print on food packaging.
Do a search for Immobilien. You don't want a single family home. You want what we in the states would call a condo. Repairs are very expensive in Germany, and they have to be performed by registered craftspeople. So you want to get into a multi-family house where you pay a bit like rent every month toward house upkeep, yard work, housekeeping, maybe even someone puts the trash out for you. Try coming down south our way, to Wildberg, Calw, Nagold area.
If you want to have a look for an afordable house in Germany again, look in the north. The area of Bremen/Bremerhaven, Oldenburg and so on. The north is typically more affordable then the south is in Germany.
Even the one photo you see for the first one you looked at, is NOT an actual photo of the house. It's a random house somewhere that may or may not look somewhat similar. You can tell it says "Musterfoto" on the picture in the bottom, which means something along the lines of "example photo". It's not an actual photo of the location you're looking at.

Oh my, I had so much fun with this video! I was house-hunting for over 1,5 years and know exactly what you encountered.
1. You picked Munich, of all cities. Seeing you with zero results twice had me rolling on the floor, since Munich is the most expensive German city (closely followed by my home city, unfortunately). The cheapest existing homes there currently on the market are "Erbpachthäuser" for ~ 450k-500k. But Erbpacht means that you basically rent the property and only own the house. The rent can be cheap, but it can ramp up. The next cheapest is 53m² for 600k. 4 room SFH from the 60's starts at 650k at the edge of Munich. That's a price you'd pay for a new home in other areas.
2. Your next two picks are both "Zwangsversteigerungen" - meaning that these homes are being focefully auctioned off by the local courts. They protect the identity of the property by showing default photos. If you find a price that's too good to be true: Most likely an ad for firms that sell catalogues for auction dates (you can find the details elsewhere, but people are lazy...) The price is the estimated market value, from which the starting bid is calculated. But yeah, they almost never sell for that price.
3. The house with the barn? You have only seen the photos of the renovated barn. In old rural towns, properties called "Hofreite" are common. This means that the property was once used by farmers, they have one house for the family and several "Wirtschaftsgebäude" like barns or garages. These buildings are the framework to a small courtyard, and the entrance is usually a huge gate. Some larger & older ones may have also been used by knights in elden times.
4. the next ones are ads placed by a building company. They put up a price suggestion for their product + an existing property. The caveat: You have to be lucky to buy the property in the first place, because many building companies don't sell property. And it wouldn't be recommended either as you'd pay more taxes if you bought home&property from the same company.
That first one ist a 2 family home with two seperate whole houses that share a middle wall. They "share" one house so its half of it. But you have that half all by yourself.
8:03 living space is counted only in actual rooms that u use for living, i.e. all toilets, washing rooms, laundry rooms, technical rooms for electircity/heating, all corridords etc. do NOT count into "living space"
5:23 the reason why you only see a single picture of windows, is that this is all you can afford for 400k in Munich
dont go to the black forest tourist traps everywhere if you whant forrest and country site go to the palatinate forest lots of affordable living space and a better place to be
Hey Ryan, with your price range look for a house in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Maybe visiting FKK Beach as well😅
Germany is a nice neighbour of us (Netherlands). But they are so slow in IT. They live at least 15 to 25 years behind us. Analoge is often still their way of doing things. It seems the digital age has still to start in most of Germany ...
i was a Draftsman (something like an architect). And i drew alot of "Livinghaus" and "Massahaus" buildings. If you wanna build one of these in germany it costs around 400K €. Only the house. Ontop you would have to buy the ground to. so calculate 600K-700K € for getting your own house with ground.
First: I'm so happy to see that you're actually doing a video checking out immoscout in Germany (as I once suggested - don't know if it came from my comment or if you had that idea yourself and just googled the biggest page). Anyways, here's a tip:
For an overview of the market and real photos of the actual houses you should leave out the maximum price. The scam houses you found in your price range were so crappy that they didn't even dare to upload a single photo of them. They were "Musterfotos", meaning example images and you can be pretty sure the actual house looks nothing like that :D.
You're not REALLY looking to buy a house here anyways so instead of the price type in the other criteria you're interested in, i.e. number of rooms, size (square feet/meter), type of house (use the filter!). And then sort from lowest to highest (or highest to lowest). You'll get lots of photos and a good idea about the prices of decent houses. And then you'll understand why most of us prefer renting instead of buying^^.
Hope you'll do another immoscout video without the price restrictions to see houses that people really live in nowadays instead of those run-down relics from the 60s :D
In germany... a lot are still in use when sold and the owner is in process of moving or so, because we like to do moves on our own without hireing workers for it and sqeeze our stuff into our vw golfs heatchbacks. Also you don't buy online, you visit your options in person.
Prices - yea like, I sold my grandparents house and also disclosed no price, mainly to see what the potential buyer would offer me and I wanted to have multibles so I can decide, who deserve it the most while making a good price.
All the *scout sites are kinda same company as far as I understand and "immo" stands for "immobilie" -> non movable asset, in comparesin to autoscout, thats for cars.
The something something *24 is also a verryyyy german thing from the late 1990/early 2000th.

2. a 2 room 57m² apartment in a normal apartment building elsewhere in the city
For the same money in the outback of East Frisia in Lower Saxony you get a full 10 room house with a huuuge garden
If you want to find houses near the Black Forest, you have to check in Baden-Württemberg, not Bavaria. The Black Forest ist on the western part of Baden-Württemberg.
12:00 That's not the monthly rate, that's the buying price per square meter. xD
It would make more sense to look for where you work first and then for a house in the area :) best houses are usually close to a lake, as Starnberg for example.
9:20 "The Reewee" :D
depending on the house there might not yet have been built an interior or you'd only see empty rooms anyway. rather often you'd find the floorplan with more or less exact measurements though.
additionally you don't actually buy the building only the property it's built on, the building(s) just come with it. i'd say the house is similar to furniture on the US housing market, remove it or keep it, your decision (if you are allowed to decide that on your own).
11:11 The house has a kitchen, well but they will put the price if the kitchen, if it is not included, on top of the price of the house. So you gotta pay for the kitchen anyways.
11:30 It might be that your american fridge is not allowed here in Germany cause it may have some´gasses inside its cooling system that are forbidden here but not in the US.
I am only at 1:10 and I can confidently say: Haha hell no!
just fyi ... you cant find a house near the black forest in bavaria 😉 ... the black forest is in baden würtenberg 😄 ... but you can find a similar area in bavaria the "bayrischer wald" it is located on the eastern border close to the Czech Republic and austria 😊 ... the cheapest houses you will find in germany are probably located in the rural areas of Brandenburg
The best thing about the picture "rant" of teh first house is, that on the picture it is written "Musterhaus" wich means, on the picture might not even be teh real house. :D
At best ot is that style of house.
I laughed so hard when you were disappointed because there is no house in Munich in your price range… and then you mentioned 400.000 😂😂
And then there is this awesome house… which only has a „Musterfoto“ 😂
Those pictures which you said were fake photos: those are normally projects for new houses. You will buy a house like shown on those photos for the price mentioned BUT you will additionally have to buy the property. Depending on the size of the property and the price per squaremetre the town/city wants to have you will have to pay another 200.000 Euros or more for the property....
As people said, looking in Munich probably isn't the right move. If you want a city there are many very pretty cities around the country with much better prices, whereever you go honestly.
Wether it's the south, the north, the east or the west.
5:48 It means the picture does not actually show the house but is just a stock picture.
What you describe, where you want to live is in the "Eifel" German part of the Ardennes.
You should search in South Bavaria like Fuessen/ Schwangau or Garmisch Paten Kirchen
It would be cool if you could make another video with a higher budget like 1.2mil or something like that and perhaps not towards Munich, since you mostly (but not always) see slightly older houses there. To see a bit more modern houses that are being built today instead of the old cliché houses that everyone knows.
Having gone through it, I can tell you that finding and buying a house in Germany can be a traumatic experience. Prepare for a years-long journey, if you are are lucky and wealthy enough to even think about purchasing your own home - something that does not apply to the majority of Germans. And "prepare" has to be taken literal, otherwise the first thing that will happen is that you fall for the scam behind to these rendered, non-existing houses you already found, and those will cost you thousands of Euros for absolutely nothing. Oh, and also be prepared to pay an additional 5-figures amount on top of the listed prices for estate agents, notary and taxes.
start looking for pictures that do not have the term "Musterfoto" on it, because its actually not a photo of the house itself at all. It might just be an auction and for some reason they do not put in the actual photos of an auction.
It didn't say 3000 euros per month, it said 3000 euros per square meter (m²)
My 2 room flat is worth 400k lol, a house in a popular city will cost you at least double that, if not more. My parents bought a semidetached home in ‘04 for 350k, today the houses in our neighbourhood are worth about a million euros each, just because the prices increased so much, it’s absolutely insane.
Musterfoto means it is an example picture. The house doesn't exist yet. That's why there aren't more pictures. Also the price doesn't include everything you need to build that house.
And the one house you found will probably not come with a kitchen. But they will try to sell the kitchen to you.
Like most people looking for a house they can afford, you are looking in the WRONG PLACE. Look for a house outside HILDESHEIM or some other small or middle-size city without connection to major metro areas. You would be astonished at how inexpensive they can be - but you have to bring your own money to live from, as employment is most often available only in the metro areas.
What I value about him and his video is his honesty. You can tell he's really interested in things because he remembers facts he last heard/saw months ago.
You can only remember things from a long time ago if you either have a good memory (which he claims not have) or if you are genuinely interested in the subject
Don’t forget the "Kaufnebenkosten", I think it’s incidental costs in English. Usually, that’s another 10 to 15 % of the price. Even more, when you have to pay an estate agent.
