Viennaestate Immobilien AG looks back on a successful first half of 2025 and thus underlines its position as a reliable partner in the Austrian real estate market.
Despite a still demanding economic environment in the real estate sector, the Viennaestate achieved a half -year result of 2.2 million euros after taxes (previous year 1.9 million euros after tax). The positive development is also evident in the equity ratio, which is at a solid level at over 38%. It should be emphasized that the Viennaestate repeatedly reduced the interest on external funds and so that the financial structure has further improved sustainably.
Economic framework conditions 2025: challenges and opportunities
Austria only returns to the growth path very slowly. After two years of recession, the Austrian National Bank expects slight growth of 0.3% for the year 2025, the forecast for 2026 is a moderate 0.8% GDP growth. The bankruptcy wave continues and recorded an increase of 6% in the first half of the year compared to the previous year. Unemployment increases noticeably. Inflation was 4.1% at the end of August 2025 and thus well above inflation in the euro area of 2.1%. These developments present the industry with challenges, but also offer opportunities for innovative and solid companies.
Real estate market: increasing demand for property and rent
In the real estate sector there is a gentle increase in the allocation of new credit (+5.2% at the end of July 2025). With 8,863 building -approved apartments in the first quarter of 2025 there are first positive signals, even if the level remains historically low. The demand in the ownership area only increases slightly, while the demand for rental apartments is still high. It first has to prove whether the first positive signals on the real estate market really bring a sustainable improvement. New regulatory requirements are also not supportive. The Viennaestate team observes the market very closely. The position of the company is further strengthened through targeted internal projects and new cooperation with banks.
Ministerial Council decides on a new rental package
The new law intervened for the first time in the prices of unregulated rents. However, the new rent value security law hides a side of reality: the situation of the real estate owners. While the public debate almost exclusively emphasizes tenants, it is not taken into account that rental is associated with considerable costs – from maintenance to renovations to statutory requirements. Owners are not flat -rate profiteers, but carry real stress. The rental cover also weakens the construction industry: investments are postponed, renovations are stopped or not even started, orders are lost – with consequences for craft, jobs and climate goals.
