The Austrian real estate market shows significant regional price variations. In Vienna, high demand has driven rental prices upward, with new investor apartments averaging 6,700 euros per square meter. While cities like Linz and Graz offer lower purchase prices, they also yield lower rental returns compared to the capital.

By June 2026, analysis of the condominium market highlighted a wide range of affordability among state capitals. St. Pölten was identified as the most affordable at 2,800 euros per square meter, whereas Innsbruck maintained the highest price levels. Linz was positioned in the middle of the market at 4,200 euros per square meter.
