Buy a house in Vienna and the Vienna belt: Döbling, Hietzing, Liesing, Klosterneuburg, Mödling, Perchtoldsdorf. Off-market access via our 15-year buyer pool, English-speaking, personal.
Döbling (1190): Cottage quarter, Grinzing, Sievering — Vienna's prime villa location. Family homes €1.8–4.5M, villas often €5M+.
Hietzing (1130): Quiet streets, Schönbrunn nearby. Town houses from €1.2M.
Liesing (1230): Family-friendly, U6, Vienna Woods. Houses €600k–1.2M.
Lower Austria belt: Klosterneuburg, Mödling, Perchtoldsdorf, Baden — 25–35% cheaper per m², larger plots, S-Bahn connection.
Vienna has around 1.9 million inhabitants and only some 60,000 detached houses. Statistically that is tight — and demand clearly exceeds supply. Only about 1,500 to 2,000 houses change hands in Vienna each year, a notable share of them off-market. Anyone who wants to buy a house in Vienna needs patience, a good network, or both. That is exactly what you get with us.
Pay attention to building class, development density, protection zones (period buildings in 1180/1190 are often listed) and the energy certificate. A house in energy class F or G usually means €80,000 to €150,000 of refurbishment over the next ten years — heating replacement (gas is being phased out), windows, insulation. That belongs in your calculation.
Also check the sewer connection, water rights (for hillside plots), easements (rights of way) and any building lease. Before every serious offer we obtain a current land-register extract, review the encumbrance sheet and clarify open points with the seller.
More than 30% of the genuinely good Vienna houses are never advertised. Inheritance cases, divorces, prominent sellers — they all want discretion. Through our network of law firms, notaries and fellow agents we are offered five to ten such houses per quarter and place them discreetly with matching buyers from our pool. If off-market access matters to you, register your search profile with us.
If you cannot find the right house inside Vienna, consider Klosterneuburg, Mödling, Perchtoldsdorf, Korneuburg or Baden. Family homes with gardens, under 30 minutes commute into the city, often a better energy certificate than Vienna's older stock. For many of our buyers that is the real sweet spot.

Köhler family
1190 Döbling · Townhouse, two children, moving to Lower Austria
„We sold our townhouse in Döbling because the kids needed more garden. Three agents came before – only IZY-Immobilien didn't promise the moon. Realistic price, clean plan, sold in three weeks. And the best part: he even helped us find a house in Klosterneuburg because he knows that market just as well."
Bachmair family
1020 Leopoldstadt · Renting, daughter's first apartment
„Our daughter moved abroad and we wanted to rent out her condo – without the usual tenant hassle. IZY-Immobilien found a vetted tenant in 10 days: credit check, contract, handover protocol, all sorted. Two years on we still get a WhatsApp whenever something needs clarifying."
Tomaselli family
Mödling · Single-family house with garden, three generations
„Our house in Mödling had been in the family since 1978. Emotionally hard to let go. IZY-Immobilien took 2.5 hours for the first viewing, listened in every room. We ended up 6% above our original limit – without a single hard push."
Buying a house in Vienna is the biggest financial decision most buyers ever make. Houses, terraced houses and villas are scarce in Vienna, especially in Döbling, Hietzing, Währing, Liesing, Floridsdorf and Donaustadt. A clear process lets you decide quickly and still safely when the right house appears.
With older houses in Vienna, unapproved extensions, outdated heating and missing documents are common pitfalls. Also check whether the house stands on freehold land or on a building lease or allotment lease – this strongly affects financing and resale value. Easements such as rights of way are recorded in the land register and should be known before you make an offer.
On top of the price, buyers in Austria usually pay real estate transfer tax (3.5%), the land register fee (1.1%), contract and escrow costs and, where applicable, an agent's commission. Plan these costs from the start and ask a notary or tax adviser whether exemptions apply in your case.
On the outskirts (1210, 1220, 1230) properties needing renovation start around €700,000, while well-kept family homes run €900,000–1.4 million. Villa districts such as Hietzing and Döbling start at €1.5 million.
Zoning and development plan, roof, heating and electrical condition, cellar moisture, and any easements or rights of way registered in the land register. A surveyor's inspection is money well spent.
The same budget buys roughly 30–40% more land and living space in Klosterneuburg, Mödling or Korneuburg — at the cost of a daily commute and usually a second car.
Family homes in the Cottage quarter (Döbling, 1190): €1.8–4.5M. Town houses in Hietzing (1130) from €1.2M. Houses in Liesing (1230) and Donaustadt (1220) €600k–1.2M. Vienna belt (Klosterneuburg, Mödling, Perchtoldsdorf): €700k–2M for family homes.
Many Vienna villas and family homes are sold off-market — through agent networks before going public. As a buyer in our pool you receive new objects 1–2 weeks before they hit willhaben or ImmoScout24.
Vienna means short commute, strong rental demand, stable resale value. Lower Austria (Klosterneuburg, Mödling, Perchtoldsdorf, Baden) means more space, larger plots, often 25–35% cheaper per m² for houses.
From reservation contract to key handover: 8–14 weeks on average. Faster with cash buyers, slower with bank financing and condominium constraints.
The classics: Cottage quarter (1180/1190) — green, excellent schools, tradition. Hietzing (1130) — close to Schönbrunn, villas. Döbling (1190) — wine taverns and Danube views. Popular with younger families: Hernals (1170), Penzing (1140) and Floridsdorf (1210) for better value.
1210 Floridsdorf, 1220 Donaustadt, 1230 Liesing (outer areas such as Kalksburg and Mauer-West) and 1140 Penzing (Hadersdorf-Weidlingau). Detached houses start around €600,000 there. In 1180 Währing and 1190 Döbling it rather starts at €1.2M, in 1130 Hietzing from €950,000.
Budget roughly 10% of the purchase price on top: 3.5% property transfer tax, 1.1% land-register registration fee, 1–2% contract drafting (notary/lawyer), 3.6% agent commission (3% + 20% VAT), plus €400–800 for a building surveyor. On an €800,000 house that is around €80,000.
Statics, damp, mould, roof, heating, electrics, plumbing, asbestos and pollutants, external walls, cellar, drainage. Costs €400–800 — a must for every house purchase above €500,000. We can recommend vetted surveyors in Vienna.
Since the KIM regulation banks ask for at least 20% equity plus the additional costs — on an €800,000 purchase roughly €240,000. Less is possible with strong income or securities. The monthly instalment may not exceed 40% of your net income.
In 1180/1190 many period buildings are under ensemble protection: façade and roof changes need approval. Building class and density define how large and how high you may build. Always obtain an extract from the zoning and development plan before buying — we do that for you.
If the substance is sound (statics, masonry, roof truss) — yes. Renovation today costs €1,500–2,500 per m² of living space, so a 180 m² house means €270,000–450,000 on top. Plan that realistically from the start.
