House Hunting hört sich ja schon anders an als Immobiliensuche. Die New York Times wollte mehr über Köln wissen. Roland Kampmeyer beschreibt im Bericht House Hunting in … Germany die Entwicklung der Bestandsimmobilien im Spannungsverhältnis zum Neubau:
„Because Cologne was a target of repeated and devastating bombing raids by the Allies in World War II, there are few historic properties on the market, and many buildings erected in the aftermath of the war were of poor quality. The strongest demand is for new construction, said Roland Kampmeyer of Kampmeyer real estate in Cologne; housing projects are starting to emerge in the city center and on the heavily industrial right bank of the Rhine.“
