For a young, family-planning Tyrolean couple who belong to the middle class and want to buy an apartment on the open market, things look bad without a legacy in the background. As research by the “Tiroler Krone” shows, horrific sums are being charged across the districts.
A well-known online platform for looking for accommodation was analyzed for this purpose. The search parameters for the couple known to the “Tiroler Krone” who are looking for a condominium for themselves and their future offspring are as follows: four rooms, a size between 80 and 100 square meters and – so that renovation costs are not immediately incurred – if possible as good as new. Important: additional costs (and parking space costs) were not included in the calculation!
We start our search in the Landeck district. There, the young couple in the district capital would have to put 474,050 euros on the table for a 95 square meter apartment that will be available from 2022.
In the Reutte district, the platform spits out the “best” result of an 89 square meter apartment built in 2020 for 504,000 euros, which is located in Ehrwald.
The “cheapest” domicile is in Tarrenz
The “cheapest” domicile is in the Imst district. There the two Tyroleans would have to settle down in Tarrenz and pay 359,000 euros for the 83 square meter four-room apartment under construction.
In the state capital Innsbruck, the future young family would need € 576,700 for an 82 square meter apartment that will be available from 2022. There would be even more in the Innsbruck-Land district in Wattens. There, 640,000 euros are required for a 90 square meter apartment under construction.
Nobel district Kitzbühel is ahead
One district further – in Schwaz – the Tyrolean couple in Weerberg is offered an 81 square meter four-room apartment for 485,000 euros. It could settle on 88 square meters in Bad Häring in the Kufstein district. The cost point for the apartment completed in 2009: 499,000 euros.
Of course, these prices are topped in the posh district of Kitzbühel. In Kirchdorf, the couple would have to raise an impressive 669,500 euros for an 85 square meter apartment to be finished by the end of the year.
120,000 euros for a 44-year-old Garçonnière
An example from the silver city of Schwaz proves that the prices for much less living space and less quality are sometimes beyond good and bad. A 23-square-meter Garçonnière was sold there for a whopping 120,000 euros! For the buyer, however, the Garçonnière is likely to become much more expensive at the end of the day, because the apartment is – watch out – at least 44 years old!
