Vienna rental house market sees 418 million euros in transactions

The Vienna rental house market demonstrated stability in the first half of 2026, with transaction volumes reaching approximately 418 million euros. While this represents an 18 percent decrease compared to the first half of 2025, the market remains robust despite challenging conditions.

A notable shift in activity is occurring toward Vienna's inner districts. Two-thirds of the total transaction volume is now concentrated within the inner districts inside the Gürtel. While transactions within the Gürtel decreased by only 8 percent, those in the outer districts saw a 41 percent decline.

District-level performance varied significantly. The 4th, 6th, and 23rd districts saw transaction volumes more than double. The 6th district recorded the largest absolute increase at 42 million euros, followed by the 4th district with a 20 million euro increase. Conversely, the 9th, 12th, and 16th districts experienced significant decreases in volume.
