Buyer's guide: Austria

Austria combines a stable capital market with some of the most coveted ski and lake property in Europe, and buyers can currently browse 5,683 listings on RealEstateAbroad with a median asking price of €647,000. The key difference from most countries is that foreign-buyer rules vary by federal state, so where you buy matters as much as what you buy.

Austria property market snapshot

These figures are from current listings on RealEstateAbroad and show asking prices. Half of priced listings sit between €390,000 and €1,189,500, and the median home is 138 m². At €5,153 per m², Austria is considerably more expensive than its eastern neighbours but cheaper than Switzerland.

Austria's coverage on this site is more limited than for large markets: listings are concentrated in Vienna and a few resort areas, so treat the national median as a guide and use regional pages for decisions.

Where to buy in Austria

Vienna accounts for 1,848 listings, with a median of €749,950 and a median of €6,331 per m². It is a large and liquid rental market, with a significant share of regulated housing and strong tenant protection.

Salzburg (€980,000) is a cultural city with an expensive, supply-limited market. Graz (€530,000) is the second city and a university centre, with a lower entry price. Klosterneuburg is a leafy Vienna suburb.

Kitzbühel is in a different league: the median asking price is €3,100,000, among the highest in the Alps. Neusiedl am See (€433,500) in Burgenland offers a lake, vineyards and an easy drive from Vienna.

Can foreigners buy property in Austria?

EU and EEA citizens can generally buy residential property freely. Non-EU citizens need approval under the land transfer laws of each of Austria's nine federal states (Grundverkehrsgesetze), and the rules differ.

  • Vienna is among the more open regions for residential purchases, with approval requirements for non-EU buyers in some cases.
  • Tyrol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg restrict second homes heavily. Many resort properties are 'tourist-use' only or under residence-use rules, so a foreign second-home buyer may be refused or limited to specific designated holiday properties.
  • Non-EU buyers must usually show a genuine economic, social or cultural interest, and processing takes weeks to months.

Before reserving anything, ask a local lawyer to confirm the state-level rules and whether the specific property is a holiday-use or main-residence property.

The buying process

  1. Find the property and agree a price. Agents are common, and the commission is usually split or paid per the contract.
  2. Hire a lawyer or notary to draft the purchase contract (Kaufvertrag) and check the land register (Grundbuch).
  3. Obtain the regional approval if you are a non-EU buyer.
  4. Sign the contract with a trustee (Treuhänder) handling payment and registration.
  5. Pay the taxes and fees, which the trustee typically arranges.
  6. Register ownership in the Grundbuch, which is reliable and public.

Costs and taxes

All amounts are approximate; verify locally.

CostTypical amount
Real estate transfer taxApprox. 3.5% of the purchase price
Land register registration feeApprox. 1.1% of the price
Lawyer or notary and trusteeApprox. 1% to 3% plus VAT
Agent commissionUp to approx. 3% plus VAT (statutory cap of 3.6% incl. VAT)
Mortgage registration feeApprox. 1.2% of the loan amount
Annual property tax (Grundsteuer)Low, based on assessed value
Capital gains on resaleGenerally 30% property-gains tax, with exemptions for main homes held long enough

Mortgages and financing

Austrian banks lend to non-residents with stable income, but they expect substantial equity of around 20% to 40% plus costs. Interest rates can be fixed or variable, and terms of 25 to 35 years are common. Foreign buyers with regional approval can usually borrow; without it, banks will not complete. Use the mortgage calculator and see our Austria financing guide.

Residency

Buying property does not give residence rights in Austria. EU nationals can register residence freely; non-EU citizens apply for a residence permit through channels such as the Red-White-Red Card, family reunification or the self-supporting category. Read our Austria buying guide before committing.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Political and economic stability, a transparent land register and strong tenant protection.
  • Premium mountain and lake property with lasting demand.
  • Moderate annual property taxes.

Drawbacks

  • Complex regional approvals for non-EU buyers.
  • Tight rules on second homes in ski regions.
  • High transaction costs of roughly 8% to 10%.
  • Rent regulation in Vienna can limit returns on older buildings.

In Austria, the permission matters before the price: for non-EU buyers, the federal state decides what is possible.

Buying property in Austria: FAQ

Can foreigners buy property in Austria?

EU and EEA citizens generally can. Non-EU citizens need approval under the land transfer law of the relevant federal state, and some states, such as Tyrol and Salzburg, restrict second homes heavily.

How much does property cost in Austria?

The median asking price on current listings on RealEstateAbroad is €647,000, with half of priced listings between €390,000 and €1,189,500. Vienna, Salzburg and Kitzbühel are far above Graz and Burgenland.

What are the purchase costs in Austria?

Expect about 3.5% transfer tax, 1.1% land register fee, 1% to 3% legal fees and up to about 3.6% agent commission including VAT. Total costs are typically 8% to 10%.

Can I buy a holiday home in the Austrian Alps?

It depends. In Tyrol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg, many properties are restricted to main residences, and non-EU second-home buyers face approvals or bans. Use a local lawyer to check the property's classification.

Can non-residents get a mortgage in Austria?

Yes, in many cases, but banks usually require 20% to 40% equity and proof of stable income. Approval under regional foreign-buyer rules must be in place.

Does buying Austrian property give residency?

No. Property ownership does not give a residence permit. Non-EU buyers apply through the usual immigration routes.
