And let's not forget that in Germany, one has to add around 15% on top of the house price: taxes, notary and - almost always - the real estate agent cut.

That real estate agent fee is sickening. It's shocking that they can charge a percentage of the value of the property. With ever-rising house prices they're earning more and more without doing any additional work.
This money also has to be paid upfront, and so is yet another hindrance for young, first-time buyers.
