Let's Get Buildin'! Verena Hubertz's Master Plan for Budget-Friendly Housing
Minister Hubertz to Offer Government Backing for Building New Housing Units - Government assurance sought by Construction Minister Hubertz for upcoming residential projects
Hold onto yer helmets, folks! Germany's fresh face in the world of housing, Verena Hubertz, is ready to shake things up. With a background in the economy, she ain't afraid of taking on risks to get stuff done.
According to our man Hubertz, many businesses in the building biz don't have the cash reserves needed to take on real estate loans with interest rates that can reach a whopping 3-4%. That's where the state steps in, ready to take on some risks, dish out guarantees, or even invest some cash ‘round here and there. This helps lower interest rates, making construction as cheap as chum during mating season!
To make new homes more affordable for the average Joe, Hubertz is all about Building Type E, which stands for both 'simple' and 'experimental.' This bad boy lets us play around with the norms, making it easier to build at a fraction of the usual cost. Hubertz reckons this project is gonna be a doozy, especially working with the new Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig (SPD). That's right, gang, they're joining forces to bring down construction costs in a major way!
Now, you might think the market's got it covered, cranking out apartments for under 15 Euros a square meter. Well, Hubertz ain't satisfied with that! Her goal is to shatter that ceiling with new constructions come in at under 15 Euros a square meter. Even better, this target is written in the coalition agreement, so it ain't just pipe dreams!
Housing construction is like a freight train in a weakening economy, with nearly half of investments going towards building. It can act like a speed boost, stimulating the economy when it really needs it. So watch out 'cause Hubertz's ready to make things happen!
