Buying in Linz

Buy a flat in Linz

Buying in Linz means buying the location first: Urfahr, the city centre and the districts along the A7 differ sharply in noise. We show what was paid in the city and its surroundings, next to the location as it is measured.

What flats actually cost here

Statistics Austria evaluates the purchase contracts for owner-occupied flats per political district, broken down by year of construction and flat size. The city of Linz is a political district of its own, the surrounding municipalities south of the Danube, among them Leonding, Traun and Enns, belong to Linz-Land. The figure in each row is the median, so what was paid, not what a listing asks.

Statistics Austria, average property prices 2025: prices actually paid in purchase contracts 2021 to 2025, euro per m² of living space, median per district. The city sits clearly above Linz-Land. Within the city the year of construction divides: a medium-sized flat without balcony or terrace costs 2,845 euros per square metre if built up to 1960, and 3,974 if built from 1991.

Surrounding area

What we show and portals do not

The difference is not the number of listings, it is what stands next to each one. No property description answers these four questions honestly, because the seller writes it.

How loud it actually is

The official environmental noise map for Linz. The city has the motorway cover at Bindermichl and still has locations where the A7 sets the tone. The map shows the difference, the listing does not.

How hot the summer gets

The Danube valley traps heat, while the slopes in Urfahr get air from above in the evening. We show the heat load per location, calculated from the climate model.

How much sun the flat gets

Sunlight per facade, calculated with the official building heights around it. A south-facing balcony in a courtyard is not a south-facing balcony.

What matters when buying

Costs on top of the price

Transfer tax, land register fee, contract drafting and commission add up to a double-digit percentage of the purchase price. On 400,000 euros that is roughly 40,000 euros that no bank finances and that the listing price does not mention.

Price per square metre means little without the location

Two areas can differ by more than a factor of two, and within one area a single street separates more than 1,000 euros per square metre. That is why we put the value of its own area next to each listing, never a regional average.

Check reserves and running costs

A low maintenance reserve is not a saving, it is a deferred bill. Before signing, ask for the reserve level, the last decisions of the owners association and any planned renovation.

For investment flats the achievable rent is what counts

A yield promised in the brochure is the seller’s calculation. We only state a yield when we can recalculate it from documented figures, and we say where it comes from.

Transfer tax 3,5 %, land register fee 1,1 %, agent commission at most 3 % plus VAT. All purchase costs →

Common questions

What does a flat cost in Linz?

Asking prices are well below Vienna and Salzburg. Districts differ less than in Vienna, but a location on a traffic corridor shows up more strongly than the price would suggest.

What additional costs apply when buying?

Transfer tax of 3.5 percent and the land register fee of 1.1 percent are fixed by law, contract drafting adds roughly one to three percent, and an agent commission of at most three percent plus VAT may apply.

How loud is it along the A7?

It depends strongly on the section. The cover at Bindermichl and Spallerhof reduced the load considerably there, other sections are open. The official noise map shows it address by address.

Does wohnwahn cost anything?

No. We are a private project run by two people, we take no commission and charge neither searchers nor providers.
