Am I the only one who feels like the whole apartment buying process is a nightmare? We’ve been looking to buy an apartment in the Zürich area for a while now and lost a couple of bids already. Losing is in fact one problem, but not getting any feedback is even a bigger one. You send your offer, wait a couple of weeks, and get a “we decided to go with another party” message. No idea if we were 10k or 100k off, or if it wasn’t about price after all. Also the market situation is always vague. Some apartments sit for months and then get a price cut, others are gone in days. So how high are you supposed to bid? For those who actually managed to buy: How many offers did it take? Did anyone ever give you actual feedback on a rejected bid? How did you decide how much to offer? submitted by /u/michalurb
