If you are thinking about moving to Germany, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"The average cost of housing in Germany is generally considered to be relatively high. Prices for rent and purchase tend to depend on the specific location, with larger cities and urban areas typically being more expensive than rural areas. Although rents have been rising in recent years, Germany remains an attractive place for property owners due to the rent control laws. In general, rental prices tend to be higher than in many other countries in Europe," said a member in Germany.

"Housing costs are the same in the cities. In the smaller towns you can find places a lot cheaper than at home. Now a 2 bedroom apartment in CO is between $800 to 900 a month. A house in CO with 6 bedrooms would cost around $2400. However what you save on rent or house payments you spend in utilities and water!!!!!! here," remarked another expat who made the move to Hillerse, Germany.
