An attractive residential area: selling real estate in the Salzkammergut

Do you own a property by the lake, a residential house or a country house in the Salzkammergut that you would like to sell? Then you are making a good decision from Engel & Völkers' point of view. Thanks to the attractive location factors, the property sale will soon be a success in cooperation with our market-experienced real estate agents. A total of around 140,000 people live here and already enjoy the numerous advantages of this real estate location. Surrounded by the Salzkammergut mountains, the Totes Gebirge, the Osterhorn group, the Traunstein, the Dachstein and Höllengebirge, the Salzkammergut is embedded in a beautiful natural landscape. The area is characterized by the river system of the Traun, which is characterized by 76 large and small lakes and the Salzkammergut region extends from the Fuschlsee, over the Wolfgangsee and Mondsee into the Almtal and from the valley of the Vöckla to the Dachstein and the Grimming.

According to real estate agent Engel & Völkers Salzburg, the Salzkammergut also scores highly in economic terms, as it is a sought-after tourist destination and owes its economic stability primarily to tourism. The region is known as a summer retreat, which in the broadest sense means a recreational vacation in the countryside. Residents and tourists associate summer retreats with the combination of relaxation, activity, enjoyment and physical challenge offered in the Salzkammergut. The future owner of your farmhouse for sale will find exercise and tranquillity in the mountains and lakes of the Salzkammergut, which are not only ideal for sporting activities such as hiking, but also for relaxing. If you own a lakeside property or a property with a lake or mountain view in one of the Salzkammergut's excellent locations, you will achieve the best price when selling.

Real estate market in the Salzkammergut: useful information for owners

From the perspective of real estate agent Engel & Völkers, anyone looking to sell their farmhouse, country house or apartment building in the Salzkammergut should not only be well informed about the important location factors in this residential area, but should also be aware of the current situation and new developments on the local real estate market. We are happy to provide you with an overview of the current market situation: In general, Engel & Völkers has noticed that real estate prices in the Salzkammergut have risen significantly in recent years and our experts assume that this trend will remain unchanged in the future and that real estate prices will continue to rise. If you want to sell your lakeside property or your house in the Salzkammergut in a timely manner, you can expect an average marketing time of approx. 6 months with the support of Engel & Völkers Salzburg. It should also be noted that the selling price of your property always depends on the individual circumstances such as the condition of the property or the size of the plot. Of course, the location is also a decisive factor; properties in a direct lakeside location and with a lake or sea view, for example, are extremely sought-after and regularly achieve top prices in sales.

Real estate agent Engel & Völkers Salzburg gives you an overview of the current sales prices: For houses with lake views, average prices in the Salzkammergut region start at EUR 1 million. Properties for sale in the immediate vicinity of the lake can sell for prices of up to EUR 10 million. The average price per square meter for existing apartments remains at EUR 4,000, while new-build apartments with lake views change hands for an average of EUR 7,000 per m². Due to the small number of properties for sale on the market, prices for properties in the Salzkammergut are very high overall. The very good locations, in which future property owners benefit from a wonderful lake view or proximity to the lake, make a significant contribution to the high price level.

If you would like to find out what your lake property or farmhouse is worth, you can take advantage of a free valuation of your property by our estate agents. This service is of course free of charge and without obligation.
