The climate package is now finalized. It was approved by the Bundestag in mid-November and the key components were passed by the Bundesrat at the end of November. The aim of the climate package is to reduce CO2 emissions so as not to further negatively impact the climate. Construction and housing are also to become more climate-friendly in the future. The black-red coalition is creating new incentives to achieve this. We reveal what changes this will mean for homeowners.

Paying off a bank loan for your own home can often take around 30 years. After ten years, the fixed interest rate comes to an end. Then owners have to arrange follow-up financing.

Life in rural areas is becoming increasingly older, while Germany's cities are exploding with young people moving in. That is the current situation. Until the mid-2000s, it was exactly the opposite: people in rural areas were younger on average than city dwellers. But for several years now, young people have been flooding into the big cities. This is causing a housing shortage in metropolitan areas and structural problems in rural areas.

Real estate accounts for a large portion of the total value of inheritances in Germany. However, not every real estate inheritance promises sudden wealth. Inherited properties are often in poor condition and difficult to sell. Renovation and demolition are expensive, and then there is the pesky inheritance tax. What now?

Owning a home is a lifelong dream for many people. However, this dream also comes with certain costs: the mortgage has to be paid off, and renovations and repairs are a regular expense. These costs often cause homeowners sleepless nights. But is selling your property the only option in such a situation?

Real estate prices in Germany are rising every year. In metropolitan areas such as Munich and Berlin, price increases are particularly high compared to the previous year. However, compared to the rest of Europe, price growth in Germany is still moderate.
