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 median per district averages over small and large plots. A house built from 1991 on cost 5,751 euro per square metre on average, one from before 1960 4,457: age counts for less here than elsewhere, because the land carries the price.
In the Rhine valley the land decides the price. What it costs in every municipality is official, and we show it.
Vorarlberg pays housing benefit as the difference between the recognised and the reasonable housing cost, and lends up to 100,000 euro per unit for a new home, graded by land consumption. The limits, the income table and a calculator following the 2026 guideline are on our own page.
See the subsidy →Statistics Austria publishes a building-land price for all 96 municipalities in Vorarlberg. In the Rhine valley the land is the biggest item of a house: between a small and a large plot, the house price paid differs by a factor of 1.45, more than in any other province.
See land prices →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 →Every listing with us carries its location, the energy certificate with class and value, the features from the feed and the check by our quality gate. What a provider does not deliver stays empty instead of being guessed.
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.
Vorarlberg is narrow: between Lake Constance and Bludenz, settlement, farming and industry share a thin valley floor. In the house prices paid, the difference between a small and a large plot is 45 per cent; in Lower Austria it is 23. Anyone comparing houses here compares plot size first.
Transfer tax 3,5 %, land register fee 1,1 %, agent commission at most 3 % plus VAT. All purchase costs →
On average 4,730 euro per square metre of living space, measured on purchase contracts 2021 to 2025. Bregenz sits at 4,955, Dornbirn at 4,790, Feldkirch at 4,669 and Bludenz at 4,560. For a house of 130 square metres that is around 615,000 euro, before extra costs.
Because the Rhine valley is one continuous settlement area. Bregenz, Dornbirn and Feldkirch merge into each other, commutes are short, and demand spreads across the whole valley. Only Bludenz with its side valleys drops slightly.
On average similar: Vorarlberg 4,730, Tyrol 4,674 euro per square metre. The difference lies in the spread. Tyrol ranges from Kitzbühel at 9,055 to Lienz at 2,631; Vorarlberg has no outliers at the top and no cheap corner.
No, prices paid in purchase contracts, evaluated by Statistics Austria and lifted to the 2025 level. A listing sits above them. The figure says what a district is worth, not what a single house may cost.
