Development of the Salzburg real estate market in 2025

The year 2025 was characterised by a phase of stabilisation in the Salzburg property market. After a period of rising interest rates and more cautious lending, which had led to a slight cooling of the market, moderate momentum returned in 2025.

Demand for high-quality residential properties remained particularly strong. Buyers and investors continue to view Salzburg as a secure location for long-term investments.

At the same time, supply remained limited, as construction costs and land prices continued to stay at relatively high levels. These factors contributed to overall stable property prices, with slight increases in certain segments.

Demand in the rental market also remained consistently high. Due to current financing conditions, many prospective buyers are opting to rent initially, further increasing pressure on the rental market.

Current property prices in Salzburg (March 2026)

Anyone looking to buy or rent property in Salzburg must still expect comparatively high prices. Current market averages are as follows:

Houses

  • Purchase price: approx. €9,125 per m²
  • Rent: approx. €22 per m²

Apartments

  • Purchase price: approx. €7,976 per m²
  • Rent: approx. €22.77 per m²

Land

  • Purchase price: approx. €1,400 per m²

These figures represent average values and can vary significantly depending on the district and exact location. However, they clearly illustrate that Salzburg remains one of the most expensive real estate markets in Austria.

Particularly in demand are central locations within the city of Salzburg and surrounding municipalities offering strong infrastructure and connectivity.

Outlook for the real estate market in 2026

For 2026, many experts expect the Salzburg property market to remain stable. A significant price decline is currently not anticipated by most market observers.

Instead, the market is expected to continue consolidating. If interest rates stabilise or decrease slightly, this could further strengthen demand for owner-occupied property.

At the same time, the supply of building land and new residential developments remains limited, which has a long-term stabilising effect on prices.

For buyers, this means that long-term investments in Salzburg continue to offer strong value stability. Property owners, in turn, benefit from high demand in the rental market—especially in well-connected residential areas.
