Up-to-date information for your property sale: The real estate market in the center of Salzburg

In addition to detailed planning and the analysis of important location factors, the real estate market is also one of the relevant factors that must be taken into account in order to achieve a successful property sale. As the owner of a villa, townhouse or apartment in the center of Salzburg, you should therefore also find out about current developments on the local market on the recommendation of our real estate agents. Of course, we regularly obtain important facts and figures and can therefore help you with this. Below we give you an overview of real estate prices and the current situation on the Salzburg real estate market

First of all, our experts have established that real estate prices in Salzburg have risen steadily in recent years and, according to current forecasts, this trend is set to continue in the future. If you want to sell your apartment, your Ceconi villa or a turn-of-the-century property in the center of Salzburg, you should currently expect an average marketing period of around 6 months. The real estate prices you can achieve when selling vary depending on the condition, location and size of the property. For example, different prices can be achieved for villas and apartments in Riedenburg, which has good transport links, than for properties in quiet locations such as Nonntal. Houses in the center of Salzburg fetch a minimum of EUR 1.5 million and a maximum of EUR 10 million - collector's items can change hands for much higher prices. If you want to sell your apartment in the center of Salzburg, you can expect prices per square meter of at least EUR 4,000; for newly built apartments, the price per square meter is at least EUR 6,500.

As there are currently few properties for sale, especially in the top locations, property prices are particularly high and your chances of success could hardly be better. Furthermore, according to analyses by our real estate agents, there are currently hardly any building plots for sale in the center of Salzburg. At present, you will mainly find plots with old or demolished properties. From an estate agent's point of view, owners who want to sell their undeveloped property are therefore in a starting position that could hardly be better.

One essential piece of information that you should always obtain before selling is the market value of your villa or townhouse. Our real estate agents will be happy to determine the exact market value of your property in the center of Salzburg for you. The non-binding and free valuation is just one of many Engel & Völkers services that you can take advantage of during the entire sales process.

A portrait of residential locations in the center of Salzburg - the selling points speak for themselves

To successfully realize the sale of your Ceconi villa or apartment in the center of Salzburg, detailed planning is required. In addition to the quality features of your property, the location provides decisive arguments that will convince potential buyers to purchase. Real estate agent Engel & Völkers Salzburg presents an initial selection of these advantages below:

salzburg's Old Town is a sought-after residential area in the center of Salzburg and has a lot to offer potential buyers of your villa, townhouse or apartment: It is divided by the Salzach river into two separate areas, the Left and Right Old Town. The Left Old Town forms the actual part of the city and, together with the Mönchsberg, the Festungsberg and the Kaiviertel, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The center is also characterized by the Getreidegasse with some traditional costume and antique stores. Salzburg's old town is home to important sights such as Mozart's birthplace, the Festspielhaus and the imposing Hohensalzburg Fortress. Other important sights that are equally compelling selling points are Salzburg Cathedral in the DomQuartier and the Baroque Residenz, where works of art by Rembrandt and Rubens can be viewed. Culture lovers can also look forward to various museums in the Hohensalzburg Fortress.

If you are the owner of a villa or townhouse in the Riedenburg district and are thinking of selling, the excellent transport links thanks to Neutorstrasse, which leads into the old town, are a strong selling point. Riedenburg is a quiet yet central district in the center of Salzburg, spreads out around the Rainberg and offers a high quality of life. According to real estate agent Engel & Völkers Salzburg, another highlight in Riedenburg is Schloss Leopoldskron with the Leopoldskroner Weiher pond. Extensive walks can be taken in the castle park.

Owners in the Maxglan district can also expect their property for sale to be extremely popular on the market. The former farming village with the church of St. Maximilian is the third largest district in Salzburg and offers a popular shopping street in the form of Maxglaner Hauptstraße.

The Andräviertel is another highly sought-after residential area in the center of Salzburg. The lively district is characterized by some excellent restaurants and stores as well as the Andräkirche church. There is also a regular, internationally renowned weekly market where regional products can be purchased.

To the south of Salzburg's old town on the left is the Nonntal, which borders Eschenbach to the east, Festungsberg to the north and Fürstenallee and Hans-Donnenberg-Park to the west. The district is also home to the ORF regional studio as well as important sights such as Villa Berchtold, the Schauspielhaus theater and the Mozarteum orchestra house.
