What the plot is zoned for
Upper Austria maintains the zoning of every municipality in a single provincial service. For a house with land, zoning decides whether you may extend, add a storey, or build at all. We show it per address.

Statistics Austria, average property prices 2025: prices actually paid in purchase contracts 2021 to 2025, euro per m² of living space, median per district. Median across all surveyed flat classes, purchase contracts 2021 to 2025, adjusted to the 2025 price level. Asking prices regularly sit above this, because they reflect the seller’s wish and not the deal.
Search by district
Where flats are currently for sale, broken down by district. The link opens the search with exactly that district.
What we show and the portals do not
When buying, what counts is what still holds in ten years. Three of those things are officially recorded and in no listing.
What land costs in the municipality
Statistics Austria publishes building-land prices per municipality. In Upper Austria that explains the jump between Linz-Land and the Innviertel better than any district average.
See land prices →What buying costs on top
Transfer tax, land register, contract drafting, commission: the fixed rates and a worked example, so the budget is right before the viewing and not after.
Work out the extra costs →What matters when buying a flat
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 districts can differ by more than a factor of two, and within one district a single street separates more than 1,000 euros per square metre. That is why we put the value of its own district 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.
The central belt does not end at the city limits
Linz-Land and Urfahr-Umgebung carry prices close to the city; the Mühlviertel and the Innviertel sit well below. What makes the difference is not the kilometre count but the connection: a municipality with a suburban rail stop costs more than one the same distance away without.
Transfer tax 3,5 %, land register fee 1,1 %, agent commission at most 3 % plus VAT. All purchase costs →

Frequently asked questions
What does a flat cost to buy in Upper Austria?
Across the 18 districts the median is 2,639 euro per square metre. The dearest is the city of Linz at 3,640, the cheapest Rohrbach at 1,738. These are prices actually paid in purchase contracts between 2021 and 2025.
How big is the gap between city and country?
A good factor of two, so less than in Lower Austria or Tyrol. With 18 districts Upper Austria has a broad middle: the central belt around Linz sits at the top, the Mühlviertel and Innviertel at the bottom, and many districts in between sit close together.
What costs come on top of the purchase price?
Property transfer tax of 3.5 per cent, land register entry of 1.1 per cent, plus contract drafting and, depending on the case, the agent commission. Our own page on purchase costs carries the full calculation.
Are these the prices being asked today?
No, they are the prices paid. Asking prices regularly sit above them. The series also pools five years and adjusts them to the 2025 level.
