How many houses are currently in each of the twelve Klagenfurt municipal districts and in each of the thirteen surrounding municipalities. The link leads into the atlas with all the location data.
Buying a house ties you to a location for decades, and with a house the terrain matters more than with a flat. These four questions are never answered honestly in a sales brochure, because the seller writes it.
On 21 December the sun above Klagenfurt reaches 19.9 degrees at midday. Seen from Viktring, the Sattnitz ridge to the south rises to 23.3 degrees. That means the winter sun sits behind the ridge there at noon, while two kilometres further north the sun is out all day. That is what we calculate, instead of calling it "south facing".
Open the sun check →Lake Wörthersee reaches into the city area, and no other city we cover has water of this size on its doorstep. What it means for a single address comes down to a few hundred metres. The atlas shows it per district and municipality.
Open the atlas →Klagenfurt has 105,734 inhabitants and is therefore above the EU threshold of 100,000, yet it is still not a designated agglomeration. Only the main transport routes are mapped: the loudest are the A2 motorway near St. Peter and the southern ring road, both above 75 dB. But of 6,561 inhabited locations only one in nine carries a zone at all. We state next to every address whether a measured value exists, rather than passing silence off as quiet.
Open the noise map →For a house the land is the larger half of the price. The official building-land prices from Statistik Austria purchase contracts are listed per district and municipality on our land page, and the spread between the lakeshore and the surrounding area is considerable.
See building-land prices →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.
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.
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.
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 →
Statistik Austria reports 186 euros per square metre for the city district of Klagenfurt and 98 for Klagenfurt Land, as of 2025 and based on purchase contracts. Outside the city the land therefore costs roughly half, which makes up a considerable share of the total price of a house.
Because a house usually has a garden, and because outside the city it is not the neighbouring building that takes the sun but the hillside. On 21 December the sun above Klagenfurt reaches 19.9 degrees at midday. Seen from Viktring the Sattnitz ridge rises to 23.3 degrees, so the garden there lies in the shadow of the ridge at noon in winter.
Budget for around ten percent: 3.5 percent property transfer tax, 1.1 percent land register entry fee, plus contract drafting and escrow, and the agent commission where applicable. For a new build, servicing charges are added, and these differ from municipality to municipality.
Carinthia runs no province-wide zoning service we could query automatically, and we therefore do not build a zoning page that pretends otherwise. The binding information comes from the municipality. It should be obtained before any purchase, because it decides what may be built, how high and for what use.
Land is most expensive by the lake, and plots with direct water access are scarce and largely taken. Between a house in Krumpendorf and one a few kilometres inland, the difference lies more in the land than in the building. The atlas gives the measured distance to the water instead of a marketing phrase.
