How much does a flat in Vienna cost per m²?
In this page's dataset the average purchase price for flats in Vienna is €6,326/m². This is the unweighted mean of the 23 district averages: every district counts equally, regardless of how many flats are actually sold there. The median is €6,100/m² – half of the districts are cheaper, half are more expensive. The mean sits above the median mainly because of Innere Stadt (1st), whose average of €11,500/m² is far above every other district.
The spread between districts is wide: the cheapest in the dataset is Floridsdorf (21st) at €4,500/m², the most expensive Innere Stadt (1st) at €11,500/m² – a factor of 2.6. The inner districts 1 to 9 average €7,822/m², districts 10 to 23 €5,364/m².
Three most expensive districts (buy)
- Innere Stadt (1st): €11,500/m² buy, €18.50/m² rent
- Neubau (7th): €8,000/m² buy, €15.80/m² rent
- Wieden (4th): €7,800/m² buy, €15.50/m² rent
Three most affordable districts (buy)
- Floridsdorf (21st): €4,500/m² buy, €11.00/m² rent
- Simmering (11th): €4,600/m² buy, €11.20/m² rent
- Favoriten (10th): €4,800/m² buy, €11.50/m² rent
What does that mean for a typical flat? A 70 m² flat at the Vienna average works out at roughly €442,826, about €315,000 in Floridsdorf (21st) and about €805,000 in Innere Stadt (1st) – all excluding closing costs. You can check whether such an amount is financeable with the mortgage calculator; the equity calculator shows how much of your own money to plan for.
Keep in mind that a district average says little about an individual flat. Condition, year of construction, floor, outdoor space, the micro-location within the district and new-build versus period building often move the price more than the district boundary. The ranges (min–max) in the table above show how far values spread within a district. District pages such as Leopoldstadt (2nd), Favoriten (10th), Döbling (19th) or Donaustadt (22nd) have more detail. Prices in other Austrian cities are on property prices in Austria.
How have property prices in Vienna developed?
The yearly series below shows the city-wide average price for condominiums from 2022 to the first quarter of 2026. After the 2022 peak of around €6,800/m², prices eased step by step to about €5,750/m² in 2025. For Q1 2026 the series shows around €6,000/m², an increase of 4.3%.
| Year | Avg. buy price Vienna (€/m²) | Change | Market phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 6.800 € | Peak | Peak phase |
| 2023 | 6.400 € | −5,9 % | Correction |
| 2024 | 5.900 € | −7,8 % | Bottoming out |
| 2025 | 5.750 € | −2,5 % | Stabilisation |
| 2026 (Q1) | 6.000 € | +4,3 % | Recovery |

Two factors commonly cited for the correction from 2022 are the sharp rise in mortgage rates – higher rates raise the monthly payment and so reduce the amount buyers can borrow – and the stricter lending rules for home loans (KIM regulation). The guide KIM regulation changes 2025 summarises what changed. How today's rate level affects a monthly payment is shown on mortgage rates in Austria.
Why does this series differ from the district average above? The yearly series (Q1 2026: €6,000/m²) and the district table (€6,326/m², data as of 1 January 2024) come from different sources, dates and methods: the series is a city-wide average, the district table an unweighted mean of 23 district values. The figures are therefore not directly comparable. The page data and methodology explains how sources are chosen and values calculated.
What is the average rent in Vienna?
Average rent in the dataset is €13.42/m² per month (median: €13.20/m²). It is lowest in Floridsdorf (21st) at €11.00/m² and highest in Innere Stadt (1st) at €18.50/m². Districts 1 to 9 average €15.34/m², districts 10 to 23 €12.19/m².
For a 70 m² flat that is roughly €940 per month at the Vienna average, about €770 in Floridsdorf (21st) and about €1,295 in Innere Stadt (1st). Whether service charges and VAT are included differs by source and listing – when comparing, check whether a net or gross rent is quoted.
Note that municipal flats (Gemeindewohnungen), subsidised cooperative flats and older flats under regulated rent rules follow their own rules and can differ considerably from market averages. The overview Vienna housing subsidy 2026 explains the subsidies available in Vienna.
Rent or buy? Comparing purchase price with annual rent, the Vienna average purchase price equals about 39.3 years of rent. The ratio is lowest in Floridsdorf (21st) (34.1 years) and highest in Innere Stadt (1st) (51.8). A low value means buying is relatively cheap compared with renting; closing costs, interest, maintenance and future price changes are not included. The rent vs buy calculator runs a fuller comparison.
Which district fits my budget?
A worked example with a budget of €300,000: the table shows how many square metres that buys in each district – once if the €300,000 covers only the purchase price, and once if closing costs of about 9.9% must also be paid from it. In the second case about €272,975 remains for the purchase price.
| District | Avg. price €/m² | m² for €300,000 purchase price | m² for €300,000 incl. closing costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floridsdorf (21st) | €4,500 | ≈ 67 m² | ≈ 61 m² |
| Simmering (11th) | €4,600 | ≈ 65 m² | ≈ 59 m² |
| Favoriten (10th) | €4,800 | ≈ 63 m² | ≈ 57 m² |
| Brigittenau (20th) | €4,900 | ≈ 61 m² | ≈ 56 m² |
| Liesing (23rd) | €4,900 | ≈ 61 m² | ≈ 56 m² |
| Ottakring (16th) | €5,000 | ≈ 60 m² | ≈ 55 m² |
| Donaustadt (22nd) | €5,100 | ≈ 59 m² | ≈ 54 m² |
| Meidling (12th) | €5,200 | ≈ 58 m² | ≈ 52 m² |
| Hernals (17th) | €5,400 | ≈ 56 m² | ≈ 51 m² |
| Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus (15th) | €5,500 | ≈ 55 m² | ≈ 50 m² |
| Penzing (14th) | €5,800 | ≈ 52 m² | ≈ 47 m² |
| Hietzing (13th) | €6,100 | ≈ 49 m² | ≈ 45 m² |
| Margareten (5th) | €6,500 | ≈ 46 m² | ≈ 42 m² |
| Währing (18th) | €6,500 | ≈ 46 m² | ≈ 42 m² |
| Leopoldstadt (2nd) | €6,800 | ≈ 44 m² | ≈ 40 m² |
| Döbling (19th) | €6,800 | ≈ 44 m² | ≈ 40 m² |
| Landstraße (3rd) | €7,200 | ≈ 42 m² | ≈ 38 m² |
| Alsergrund (9th) | €7,400 | ≈ 41 m² | ≈ 37 m² |
| Mariahilf (6th) | €7,500 | ≈ 40 m² | ≈ 36 m² |
| Josefstadt (8th) | €7,700 | ≈ 39 m² | ≈ 35 m² |
| Wieden (4th) | €7,800 | ≈ 38 m² | ≈ 35 m² |
| Neubau (7th) | €8,000 | ≈ 38 m² | ≈ 34 m² |
| Innere Stadt (1st) | €11,500 | ≈ 26 m² | ≈ 24 m² |
The result: with a €300,000 purchase price you would get about 67 m² in Floridsdorf (21st), but only about 26 m² in Innere Stadt (1st). At the Vienna average of €6,326/m² it is roughly 47 m². In 6 of 23 districts 60 m² or more would be possible on paper.
In practice, start with how much equity you can bring – banks usually check your equity share and whether it covers the closing costs. The guide how much equity do I need? explains typical amounts, and equity proof documents lists the paperwork banks ask for. Equity plus a possible loan amount gives your realistic purchase price, which the mortgage calculator turns into a monthly payment. Only then is it worth shortlisting districts.
Note: the calculation uses district averages. Individual flats within a district can be considerably cheaper or more expensive, as the ranges in the district table show.
What comes on top of the purchase price?
In Austria, closing costs are added to the purchase price. For rough planning, the calculators on WelcherKredit use the following rates; amounts refer to a €300,000 purchase price:
| Item | Rate | on €300,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Property transfer tax (Grunderwerbsteuer) | 3.5% | €10,500 |
| Land register entry (Grundbuch) | 1.1% | €3,300 |
| Contract drafting / notary or lawyer (approx.) | 1.5% | €4,500 |
| Agent commission (only with an agent, max.) | 3.6% | €10,800 |
| Other fees, e.g. certifications (approx.) | 0.2% | €600 |
| Total (with agent) | 9.9% | €29,700 |
On a €300,000 purchase that adds up to about €29,700, or about €18,900 without an agent. For a 70 m² flat at the Vienna average (€442,826) it would be about €43,840. The guides on property transfer tax, land registry fees, notary costs and agent commission explain each item and when exceptions apply; Austria closing costs overview covers all of them, and the closing costs calculator works out your own figure.
Whether closing costs can be included in the loan depends on the bank and your equity – see financing closing costs. If you are buying a condominium in Vienna, also check whether a subsidy applies: Vienna condo subsidy.
