Description
Privatverkauf – Sie sparen die Maklerprovision!
Zum Verkauf steht eine frisch renovierte und sofort bezugsfreie 2-Zimmer-Eigentumswohnung in Karlsruhe-Oberreut. Da der Verkauf direkt vom Eigentümer erfolgt, fällt für Sie keine Käuferprovision an.
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einem gepflegten Mehrfamilienhaus und besticht durch ihren praktischen Schnitt auf ca. 50 m². Sie wurde aktuell umfassend renoviert, sodass Sie keinerlei Arbeit mehr haben: Wände sind frisch weiß gestrichen, neuer Laminatboden liegt bereits – ideal für Selbstnutzer zum Sofort-Einzug oder als pflegeleichte Kapitalanlage.
Das Herzstück ist das großzügige Wohnzimmer (ca. 24 m²) mit direktem Zugang zur überdachten Loggia. Ein separates Schlafzimmer (ca. 15 m²) bietet ruhigen Rückzugsort. Ein eigener Tiefgaragenstellplatz (kein Duplex!) und ein Kellerraum runden dieses „Rundum-sorglos-Paket“ ab.
Living in Karlsruhe
Bread that ruins all other bread forever, bike commutes along tree-lined canals, and a culture that perfects efficiency Monday through Friday then completely surrenders to beer gardens on the weekend.

Next steps for moving to Germany
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
