Slight Price Increase for Single-Family Homes

Taking inflation into account, the prices for single-family homes have actually decreased significantly in real terms. Compared to 2023, they are on average around 65,640 euros cheaper in real terms. The reluctance to buy single-family homes has been increasingly "overcome," reports Remax. According to the information, a third more single-family homes were sold in the first half of 2025 than in the previous year. The quantity is thus 3.5 percent above the ten-year average.

"The current interest rate level, the temporary fee exemptions for land register entries, a certain psychological habituation effect, the inflation-related wage or salary adjustments in the past, and certainly also price corrections in recent years have obviously led to the fact that the reluctance to buy single-family homes could be increasingly overcome," says Remax-Austria head Bernhard Reikersdorfer. In addition, buying land along with new construction is less affordable due to rising construction costs than it was a few years ago. Therefore, existing properties are increasingly being resorted to and gradually adapted.
