Buy a flat in Salzburg
After Vienna, Salzburg is the most expensive market in the country, and buying here comes with a rule found almost nowhere else: the province restricts second homes. Know both before you sign, the price and the zoning.

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 Salzburg is a political district of its own. The figure is the median, so what was paid, not what a listing asks.
- City of Salzburg€ 5.025/m²
Statistics Austria, average property prices 2025: prices actually paid in purchase contracts 2021 to 2025, euro per m² of living space, median per district. In the city of Salzburg the year of construction divides: a medium-sized flat without balcony or terrace costs 4,366 euros per square metre if built up to 1960, and 5,952 if built from 1991. Asking prices sit above this, because they reflect the seller’s wish and not the deal.

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 much sunlight arrives
Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg cast long shadows, in winter across entire streets. We calculate sunlight per facade from official building and terrain heights, not from the compass.
Open the sun check →What the plot allows
Zoning, plot by plot. In the old town protection zones add rules on height and facade.
Check the zoning →What a square metre costs
After Vienna, Salzburg is the most expensive market in the country, and locations within the city differ widely. Our price page shows what was actually paid in the city and the surrounding area.

Second homes are regulated in Salzburg
The province restricts use as a second home, and buyers must declare the intended use. Whether a flat may serve as a second home depends on the municipality and the specific zoning. Settle this before negotiating the price, not after.
Costs on top of the price
Transfer tax, land register fee, contract drafting and commission add up to roughly eight to twelve percent. At Salzburg price levels that quickly becomes a six-figure sum no bank finances.
A protection zone means conditions
In and around the old town, heritage rules govern facade, windows and roof. A planned renovation can fail on those or become far more expensive than the estimate suggests.
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.

Common questions
What does a flat cost in Salzburg?
Asking prices run around 6,000 to 7,000 euros per square metre, placing Salzburg right behind Vienna. There is no official figure for individual parts of the city: the price index treats the whole city as a single district. What was actually paid there is on our price page.
May I use the flat as a second home?
Not everywhere. The province restricts second homes, and buyers must declare the intended use. Whether it is permitted depends on the zoning in each case. Ask the municipality, not the agent.
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.
Does wohnwahn cost anything?
No. We are a private project run by two people, we take no commission and charge neither searchers nor providers.
