Off-market apartments in Vienna are apartments sold without public listings on ImmoScout24, willhaben or other portals. Only buyers whom the agent already knows and whom the owner trusts hear about them. Many people think the portals show the whole market, but some apartments change hands quietly: through recommendations, closed buyer databases and personal contacts. Sellers have different reasons – a...

What the Vienna property market forecast for 2027 looks like is a question we are asked in almost every consultation right now. Buyers want to know whether to buy an apartment before the end of 2026 or wait until the market becomes cheaper. The honest answer is that nobody can give an exact forecast, but the latest reports from banks, economists and statisticians already reveal the main trends....

The Vienna property market seems transparent: Statistik Austria publishes prices, listings are public and purchases go through a notary. Yet over our years of work we have seen that buyers lose money more often because of details that never appear in a listing than because of the market itself. Some sign a Kaufanbot after the first viewing, some never read the minutes of the owners’ meetings, and some...

New-build prices in Vienna are one of the most common questions buyers bring to us in 2026. After the price correction of 2022–2024, many expected apartments in new buildings to keep getting cheaper, but the market took a different path. According to Statistik Austria, Austria’s house price index reached an all-time high in the second quarter of 2026, surpassing the 2022 peak for the first time. New...

Vienna for families with children is one of the most comfortable cities in Europe: municipal kindergartens are free, public schools charge no tuition, and there are parks and playgrounds in almost every neighbourhood. But moving with children takes different planning from moving on your own: what matters is not only the price per square metre, but also the distance to school, the kindergarten registration...

Over the years working in the Vienna real estate market, we have noticed that most clients come to us with the same questions. Not because the questions are simple — but because the Vienna real estate market truly has its own logic, and making sense of it without experience is not easy. How much does a purchase really cost, how do you get a mortgage without an Austrian passport, what should you check in...

In 2026, the Vienna commercial real estate market is uneven: offices have low vacancy despite growing demand, logistics faces a limited new supply, and gastronomy is recovering tourist and local traffic. For a business owner looking for commercial real estate in Vienna, price per m² is not the only factor — Flächenwidmung, Betriebsanlagengenehmigung, ventilation and contract terms can all be critical....

There is one conversation that repeats itself in our office almost every week. A client comes in and says: «I've been renting an apartment for two years. At first I thought it was temporary. But now I understand I'm staying. And I still can't decide — should I buy or not. It feels strange to invest in a foreign country.» We hear this so often that we've started to think: this discomfort is not a...

When should you buy an apartment in Vienna so you don’t overpay? We hear this question at almost every first consultation, and behind it there is usually the hope of “catching” the month when prices dip. Seasonality in the Vienna market does exist: according to a PriceHubble study, asking prices for apartments in Austria were on average 1.5% lower in August than in September. For an apartment priced...

According to RE/MAX ImmoSpiegel, the strongest apartment price growth in 2023–2025 was recorded in Favoriten (+38.8%), Floridsdorf (+33.6%) and Leopoldstadt (+22.4%). Brigittenau and Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus show strong demand growth (+47% and +35% respectively), although price dynamics there remain subdued for now — and it is precisely this that makes them interesting for buyers with a 5–7 year...
