How to write a good property listing
The structure in short
A convincing listing almost always follows the same order: a punchy title, a curious opening line, the facts about the flat, an honest location and surroundings description, the fittings, then price and availability, and a clear call to contact at the end.
Keep every block short. People scan first: clear paragraphs and concrete numbers beat long prose.
The title
The title decides the click. Name the strongest feature plus the audience, concrete and free of cliches: "Bright 3-room flat with balcony, 7 minutes to the metro" beats "Lovely flat in a good area".
Leave out: empty superlatives, lots of exclamation marks, abbreviations nobody searches for.
Describe the location honestly
This is where most listings waste their impact. "Good connections" says nothing: "12 minutes to the centre by transit, supermarket and primary school within walking distance, a park around the corner" makes the location tangible.
That is exactly what wohnwahn is for: real travel times (transit, bike, car), amenities, green and trees, climate and heat, noise and sun path: data no portal shows. The text proposal in the editor weaves it straight into the text.
Common mistakes
Too long and too salesy, empty adjectives instead of facts, hiding flaws (they surface at the viewing at the latest), missing or dark photos, inaccurate square metres.
Honest beats embellished: a fair listing attracts the right people and saves everyone time.
Mandatory details in Austria
A listing should include the floor area, the price including operating costs, availability and the commission note (or "no commission").
Since 1 July 2026 a listing must state the heating demand (HWB) and the final energy demand (EEB) with the overall energy efficiency class, for example "HWB 45 kWh/m²a, EEB 95 kWh/m²a, class B fossil". With an older certificate that is still valid (ten years from issue), HWB and fGEE remain sufficient, as they do while the federal state does not yet provide for the new certificate. This is a short pointer, not legal advice: when in doubt, check the current source.
Sample text to adapt (rental)
Bright 3-room flat with balcony, quiet location in Vienna
This well-kept 3-room flat (74 m²) sits on a quiet side street and is still excellently connected: about 12 minutes to the centre by transit. The rooms are bright and clearly laid out, the balcony faces west (evening sun). Supermarket, primary school and pharmacy are a few minutes' walk away, and a park is around the corner. Fittings: fitted kitchen, parquet floor, cellar compartment. Available immediately. Rent: 1,090 EUR plus 180 EUR operating costs. No commission. Energy certificate: HWB 45 kWh/m²a, EEB 95 kWh/m²a, class B fossil. If you are interested, I look forward to a short message.
