Those property comparisons are way way off - Passau is in the middle of nowhere - if you wanted a house like that close to Munich it would cost millions and it's even a struggle to find one available.

Housing in decent locations in Bavaria is very expensive and in very short supply compared to San Diego.

I'm sure housing close to Munich is more expensive and I don't know Bavaria at all. The OP suggesting a small village is where they might end up so I picked what I thought was a representative property based only on the price and look of it.

Given that the OP says "we'd end up in a similarly small village" do you still feel my comparison is unfair?
