Finding the best home in Vienna
We will start with a damper. There’s no such thing as “the best” house; there is only the best house for you or your family.

Regardless of property purchase or long-term rent, the same rule of thumb is in place practically everywhere. As with most things in life, proper preparation is the key. Get together and first decide where you want to live. For example, if there are kids in the picture, a good school district is important but tends to raise prices, so you may want to avoid that area if schools are not a priority. |
You should not feel stuck in the exact same or similiar neighborhood you live in now, unless you love it there. After this, you should make a list of the five features of your new home that are most important to you. Should you have a partner, they may prioritize a garage while you want a rooftop terrace.
Now it’s time to find a real estate agent. Real estate is very local, and you will want an agent who is experienced in the neighborhoods you are looking in. The internet can be an excellent resource for this, as can your local fellows if there are already any and you are not all new to Vienna. Interview a few agents to find one that you mesh with and who has experience in the particular area you are looking for. Once you found them, discuss the list of features you want with your agent and ask to see homes that check off most of the boxes.
Make sure to look at a variety of prospective homes and give your favorites a second look before making an offer. Take your time and do not feel rushed. Keep your proprieties in mind and keep looking, if you can but do not let a fully fitting option go or on pending because chances are that a perfect one will be the same amount of perfecr for others. The average buyer will look at 10-20 houses, but it’s OK if you find your dream home on the third look or the 30th. If you are an expat here your options are no less limited, but always trust your agent's remarks and knowledge of the current real estate market as this is a situation where you will literally need to live with your decision.
