The first "New year, new keys" moments have happened, and 2026 is starting with a real estate world that feels significantly more vibrant than it did just two or three years ago. Buyers are fulfilling their dream home wishes again, sellers are receiving more inquiries, and in between, there's room for new projects that transform houses into real homes.





From full stop to cautious upswing

After the boom years came 2023/24 – the full stop: high interest rates, strict financing requirements, and considerable uncertainty led many people to put their purchasing plans on hold. The result: fewer transactions, less new construction, and more waiting.


2025 turned the picture around — not into a new "euphoria level", but into a noticeable normality. The number of transactions has risen again, while at the same time the price curve has stabilized. Instead of rapid jumps, Austria is seeing primarily stable to moderately rising prices, depending on region and property quality.


Interest rates: Finally more room to breathe

An important driver of this new momentum: interest rates. The European Central Bank cut its key rate multiple times in 2025; financing costs for residential mortgages are now significantly lower than their peak levels in previous years.


Currently, residential mortgages in Austria are averaging around 2.8 – 3.2 %, depending on term, fixed-rate period, and creditworthiness. For many households, that means the monthly burden becomes calculable, financing is again realistically plannable, and it is no longer automatically a "dealbreaker".


Tyrol & Kitzbühel Alps: Quality stands out

A look at Tyrol shows the market is far from stalled. Studies and regional analyses point to a noticeable revival in 2025 — particularly in owner-occupied apartments and single-family homes.


In prime locations like the Kitzbühel Alps, demand remains high, while at the same time interested parties look more carefully:

• Well-thought-out floor plans

• Good energy values

• Renovated or modernized existing buildings


Projects where existing buildings are developed into modern homes have a clear advantage here: they combine established locations with contemporary living comfort – and are often ready to occupy faster than completely new construction.



What this means for buyers:

2026 is a year where timing and preparation pay off:

There's more choice on the market again, while at the same time the really big price drops haven't materialized. Those who secure financing confirmation early can react faster and have better chances with sought-after properties.


In brief:

The market is no bargain paradise, but it's become significantly fairer and more calculable. Those who think long-term, keep a good location and solid quality in mind, will find an environment right now where decisions are possible again – rather than just postponed.



Die Frick GmbH supports both paths: as a property developer with concrete projects and as a master builder & project developer for individual ventures in the Tyrolean lowlands.
