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...
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...
€550 million. That is how much, according to CBRE, was invested in Austrian hotel real estate in 2025 — 57% more than the year before, and the third best result in the company's history of observations. Vienna Marriott, Grand Hotel Wien, 25hours Hotel changed hands one after another, and 2026 began with the sale of Andaz Vienna — one of the assets that came to market after the collapse of the Signa...
We have a rule we never break: no VigoImmobilien client signs the Kaufvertrag before we have gone through the complete inspection checklist. Not the shortened version. Not "we had a look, seems fine." The complete one. This rule did not come from a textbook. It came from a specific case early in our work, when a client almost bought an apartment with a hidden sewage defect that would have cost...
Last week, an apartment owner from the 7th district came to us. He said: "I already know what it's worth — I checked on Willhaben and entered the data into an online calculator. €520,000." We carried out a valuation. The actual market value turned out to be €445,000. The difference — €75,000. This is not a calculator error. It is what the calculator simply cannot see: a gas boiler that will...
Most Ukrainians who come to us are not afraid of the price. They are afraid of what they do not understand. A 12-page contract in German. A notary who speaks fast and does not translate. A bank that asks for documents whose names no one has ever heard. Grundverkehrsgenehmigung, Eintragungsgebühr, Kaufvertrag — words that make you want to close the browser tab and put everything off until...
Last month Anastasia sold a two-room apartment in the 10th district in 9 days. Three viewings — two offers — a deal. That same week, the owner of a similar apartment contacted us — same district, similar size, even a slightly lower price. His apartment had been on the market for 5 months already. Without a single serious inquiry. This isn't chance or luck. Over four years of work, we've seen a...
There is one type of client we meet constantly. They have been watching the market for a year, sometimes two. They carefully track prices, read analyses, wait for the «right moment». And while they wait — the same property that cost €280,000 a year ago is now listed at €295,000. And the one that was going to be «let's see» — is already sold. We are not saying that waiting is always wrong....
