Question

how much would a house cost in a Breman

Answer 1

Very expensive. Buying house so round 2000 square feet with a little tiny garden and small garage cost here near Frankfurt over 350.000 Euro. Rent this type a house is monthly over 1100 Euro, without utilities.

In Bremen is the prices same is a nice city near to the water and also the question is what type a house you want how big all that and prices changes.

Answer 2

You've received contradictory answers. Well, it is true that prices went up (in some cases doubled) after the introduction of the euro, but I still believe that if you visit as a tourist (from Europe), the prices are normal, except cigarettes and trains. Eating out, drinking (alcohol and coffee) and museums are very affordable. Shopping varies: clothes cost more or less the same as in the rest of western Europe, home equipment can often be even 20-30% cheaper than elsewhere, electronics vary.

Answer 3

Going there is a little if you go in summer time.Eating out is not or shopping isn't,depends where you go.I was there with my son 2 months ago visiting my grandmother and its almost the same price here in the U.S.

Answer 4

only when you need a public restroom

Answer 5

Everything is expensive here since we got the Euro.We just earn half of our money as we did before with the DM but the prices are doubel now.

Answer 6

No. At least compared to other western european countries. It's also not cheap though, especially for people from the U.S., because of the low Dollar/Euro ratio. The east european countries are also cheaper.

You also notice a strong north-south and east-west divide. In general, east and north are cheaper than west and south.

Answer 7

I'm living in Germany now and it is expensive.  I can't tell you how much it would be to own a house, but I can tell you a few things about purchasing things.  The euro is currently sitting right around $1.30-$1.35.  German sales tax is included (called Value Added Tax) and is at 19%.  A meal at a sit down restaraunt will cost you 7-10 euro, a box of betty crocker cake mix from walmart runs 5 euro.  From what I have been told, health care is free here, but it is reflected in income tax (almost 40% of each paycheck is taken out).  Gas here is 1,05 euro per liter on average (about $5.50/gallon).

Don't get me wrong, Germany is beautiful, but it is not as inexpensive as it used to be.  I saw some conflicting answers above, I would recommend looking around online and taking a visit to where you were thinking about buying a house.

Answer 9

since the value of the Dollar fell sharply,everything in Germany seems to be more expensive. They also raised the value added tax and that doesn't help.

Answer 10

I didn't know it was for sale.
