Well… 100 km around Munich €600k brings one 3-4 room apartment with the size of ~100 square meters. No house under 1 million EUR and it gets more and more worse every year.
With rather average salaries and lots of borrowed money in the family we managed to get a mortgage from the bank for a super old house. Then a super surprise came in - there was no handyman or a company who wanted to work for less than 1000€ a day. Every free minute goes into renovation, even very promising side project was put on hold. I already mastered plastering. Thinking about getting electrician’s license, then I will make more than McKinsey consultants.
