How are real estate prices developing in Upper Austria?

The number of transactions in Upper Austria will reach a level similar to that of 2023 in 2025, with approximately 6,700 residential property sales. In the condominium segment, average prices of around 3,900 euros per square meter were achieved. In Linz, the average real estate price in 2025 was around 4,500 euros per square meter, significantly higher than in the two neighboring cities. Compared to Austria’s other major cities, this is still a moderate price level—only Graz is slightly lower. The highest real estate prices in the state, however, are found for unique apartments, such as those with lake views, in the Salzkammergut region. Given the trends in interest rates over the past few years, a further revival of the market is now expected.

There are countless recreational opportunities, a large cultural offering, an excellent education system, and also good connections to Salzburg, Graz, Vienna, Munich, and also to the Czech Republic. Premium locations at the lakes of the Salzkammergut will continue to be very sought after. In the cities, there will be differences between locations.
