Vienna as an International Real Estate Destination

Real estate in Vienna is not only in demand among domestic investors and buyers. Internationally, the federal capital is also popular, both for residential and commercial properties. Several factors speak in favor of Vienna.

Stability and Sustainable Urban Development Make Vienna Interesting

In a world full of geopolitical uncertainties, Vienna stands out for its political stability, a functioning legal system, and reliable administration. These are key criteria for international investors looking for international real estate destinations. Pension funds or foundations are also increasingly investing in real estate in Vienna. Major projects like the Seestadt Aspern in Donaustadt or climate-friendly renovation measures in the old stock show: Vienna is investing in a long-term livable city. This focus on sustainability not only increases the quality of life but also strengthens the value of real estate, a plus for international investors with a long-term perspective.

Well-Educated Professionals Appreciate Vienna

International funds, family offices, and multinational corporations are also increasingly discovering Vienna as an attractive location within Europe. Last year, the number of business settlements in Vienna increased by 15 percent, and the Vienna Business Agency recorded increased interest in the location. Well-educated professionals, a stable environment, and high quality of life are strong arguments for the federal capital. This brings new target groups to the real estate market – such as well-paid expats looking for apartments or companies that rent housing for employees long-term. Expats appreciate Vienna's excellent infrastructure – such as a reliable healthcare system, efficient public transport, and low living costs compared to cities like Paris or London. Additionally, there are special contact points like the Expat Centre or the Business Immigration Office at MA 35 to support professionals with visas, residence, and integration.

International Demand Meets Limited Supply in Vienna

While the demand for apartments in Vienna is high, the number of completed apartments is decreasing. In the first half of 2025, according to figures from the real estate consultant EHL, there were only slightly more than 10,000 completed apartments in the federal capital, a sharp decline compared to the first half of the years 2024 with 12,000 and 2023 with over 14,000 completed apartments in Vienna. This combination continues to drive up real estate prices in Vienna. Particularly sought after are old apartments in the central area as well as modern, energy-efficient new buildings.

Vienna as an International Real Estate Destination with a Future

Vienna combines economic stability, sustainability, and high quality of life - three factors that are gaining significant importance in times of global upheaval. For international investors, this offers a city that is not only safe but also future-proof.
