Market analysis & Classification
The real estate market in Höchst can be classified as a relatively small but stable sub-market. For buyers, this means that supply is limited, but pricing is still more moderate compared to larger centres. This makes Höchst interesting for owner-occupiers who value quiet living and good regional connections. On the seller's side, sustained demand points to a solid market position, even if the sharpest price jumps are likely behind us for the time being. For capital investors, Höchst is attractive primarily due to the combination of a manageable entry price, stable rents, and good lettability. In particular, apartments in good condition with functional floor plans can usually be let quickly. The gross rental yield range is currently generally between 3.0% and 4.2% gross, depending on property quality, location, and price level. Houses often achieve lower yields but are interesting for long-term owner-occupiers and wealth-oriented buyers. Overall, the development of real estate prices in Höchst points to a market with moderate growth, solid demand, and limited downside risk. Anyone monitoring the price per square metre in Höchst will recognise a phase of consolidation following the strong increases of previous years, without the attractiveness of the location having noticeably diminished.
Data analysis: Price development & yield
The data from recent years paints a clear picture of price movements for Höchst in the Austrian market. For single-family homes and terraced houses in Höchst, the average purchase price moved from 2.484 €/m² in 2016 to the current 4.822 €/m² (2024) — a total change of +94,1% over 8 years, which corresponds to an average value increase of +8,6% p.a. The previous peak was reached in 2022 at 5.278 €/m²; since then, the market has corrected by -8,6% — a typical pattern in many German mid-sized markets following the interest rate turnaround. Condominiums in Höchst started at around 2.450 €/m² in 2016 and are now at 3.991 €/m² (+62,9% over 8 years, Ø +6,3% p.a.). This makes them suitable as an entry point into home ownership or as a capital investment with a manageable ticket size. The standard land value (Bodenrichtwert) in Höchst rose from 255 €/m² (2015) to the current 452 €/m² (+77,1% in 9 years) — a key indicator of the structural location quality and local demand for building land. With around 7.995 inhabitants, Höchst generates a limited but continuous transaction volume — which means that well-prepared properties priced in line with the market are usually sold or let quickly, while overpriced offers remain on the market longer and lose room for negotiation. For owners in Höchst considering a sale or letting, an individual, data-based valuation is the most important first step — it replaces estimates from online calculators that cannot account for micro-location, energy efficiency, and property substance. FREITAG® provides this valuation free of charge and without obligation.
These market data are regularly updated and reviewed at least every 12 months based on current statistics and expert committee data.

FAQ about real estate in Höchst
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Höchst — concisely answered.
📍 Location & Situation of Höchst
Höchst is located in the district of Bregenz, federal state Vorarlberg and is considered around 7,995 inhabitants. Precisely these factors are crucial for the real estate market: regional integration, accessibility, topography and local supply offerings shape demand, price structure, and long-term value development.
Höchst has approximately 7,995 inhabitants. Population dynamics are a key early indicator for real estate demand: Growing municipalities typically see stable to rising prices, while shrinking municipalities need to be analysed more carefully — location, property quality, and demand segment then become particularly important.
Höchst belongs to the federal state Vorarlberg, district Bregenz. This administrative allocation is relevant, among other things, for the land registry, building authority, tax authority, as well as for the regional market comparisons that we use when valuing your property.
Further information can be found in the Wikipedia article on Höchst (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6chst_(Vorarlberg)). For legally binding information on building regulations, zoning plans, and property data, the municipal administration is the right first point of contact.
🏘️ Real Estate Market in Höchst and the Surrounding Area
Höchst can be classified as a lokaler submarket. Supply is limited, which, with intact demand, tends to ensure stable prices. A blanket statement about "price per square metre" is regularly insufficient in a municipality of this size — micro-location, property quality, year of construction, and energy class of the specific property are decisive.
For Höchst, there are no comprehensive, official transaction prices available at the municipal level, such as those available for German municipalities via the expert committee system. In Austria, Statistik Austria provides average prices at district and federal state level — these indicate the direction, but do not replace an object-specific valuation.A reliable price indication for a specific property in Höchst only emerges from comparable properties, location, and condition.
Statistik Austria shows predominantly rising average prices for condominiums and houses over recent years, with a significant flattening in 2023/24. In rural municipalities like Höchst, development generally follows the trend of the surrounding district or federal state with a time lag.
These structural data provide a good overview of economic vitality and rental potential — however, they do not replace an assessment of the specific property.
🏡 Buying & Selling in Höchst
In Austria, the process includes: offer/purchase offer, drafting of the purchase agreement by a lawyer or notary, fiduciary handling, entry in the land register, and settlement of land transfer tax and registration fee with the tax office for fees and transaction taxes. It usually takes 6 – 12 weeks from contract signing to ownership registration.
Customary documents include: current land register extract, site plan/cadastral plan, building plans and building permit, energy certificate according to OIB-RL 6, for apartment ownership the apartment ownership agreement and utility value report, operating cost statements, house rules, and evidence of renovations.
Customary methods include comparative value, asset value, and income value methods according to LBG (Property Valuation Act). Key factors are location, land area, year of construction, energy status, fittings and fixtures, and current purchase price collections for Bregenz.
The average marketing period in a municipality like Höchst is 3 – 6 months — from the start of the commission to notarisation. Properties priced appropriately for the market and with good energy efficiency often sell faster, while those in need of renovation or priced too high sell significantly slower. In addition, there are 4 – 8 weeks for the legal processing until the transfer of ownership.
💰 Financing, Taxes & Additional Costs in Austria
The additional purchase costs amount to in Austria approximately 9 – 11 % of the purchase price: 3.5 % property transfer tax, 1.1 % land registry fee, approx. 1 – 3 % notary fees/contract drafter, and possibly 3 % + 20 % VAT estate agent commission (since the 'Bestellerprinzip' (client-pays-principle) 2023, usually paid by the client). The exact amount in Höchst depends on the purchase price, the specific contract design, and possibly the real estate agent's commission. A complete cost breakdown should be definitively available before signing the contract.
In Austria, since the KIM-V, banks usually require at least 20% equity plus ancillary costs, a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90%, and a debt service ratio below 40%. Housing subsidies from the federal states can reduce the required equity.
Classic options are annuity loans with fixed or variable interest rates through Austrian banks (Erste, Raiffeisen, Bank Austria, Bawag), supplemented by building society loans and housing subsidies from the respective federal state.
When selling private real estate in Austria, real estate income tax (ImmoESt) of 30% on the capital gain is generally incurred. Primary residence exemption (continuously occupied for at least 2 years or 5 out of 10 years) and builder's exemption may apply. Individual advice from a tax advisor or Steuerberater is recommended before any sale.
🔑 Rental, Yield & Value Development in Höchst
In Austria, many old buildings are subject to the standard value or category rent system according to the MRG, while new buildings and condominiums usually have free rent. Fixed-term leases are common, with a legally prescribed fixed-term discount of 25%.
The gross rental yield in many Austrian municipalities is around 3 – 5% depending on location and property quality, often lower in Vienna and Salzburg, and sometimes higher in peripheral areas and secondary cities. For a specific property in Höchst, the achievable gross yield depends on location, condition, tenant structure, and acquisition price — a reliable yield forecast can only be made after an individual property analysis.
Smaller communities like Höchst are particularly suitable as an investment if the local demand is structurally sound (commuter location, tourist location, good transport links) and the property has solid rental potential. In peripheral locations, attention must be paid to resale liquidity and deferred maintenance — both quickly relativise nominally higher gross rental yields.
The Austrian residential real estate market has cooled down significantly after the interest rate turnaround and KIM-V. For Höchst, a market phase with stable to moderately rising prices is likely in the medium term, provided that regional demand remains intact. Reliable forecasts at the municipal level are not possible in a reputable manner — a property-specific assessment is always the better approach.
Property Annuity (Immobilienverrentung) & Usufruct in Höchst
Release capital in Höchst — lifelong right of residence included.
Many owners in Höchst are sitting on an asset that they cannot access because they do not want to give up their home. This is precisely whatProperty annuity (Immobilienverrentung) is for: The sale takes place, but the move-out does not. Depending on the model — Usufruct, Right of abode, Life annuity or Leaseback — the purchase price is paid as a lump sum, as a monthly annuity, or as a combination of both.
Security is crucial: The right of abode (Wohnrecht) is entered in the land register (Grundbuch) in the first rank, before the buyer is registered as the owner. We will calculate for your property in Höchst how much the usufruct (Nießbrauch) value reduces the purchase price — and whether this is more profitable compared to a traditional sale.
We approach this with an open mind. If a normal sale with a subsequent move is economically better for you, we will tell you — instead of trying to sell a property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) model that doesn't suit your needs.
Liquidity from business property in Höchst — Location remains.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Höchst in their own property instead of in operational business. Sale & Lease-Back solves this: sale to an investor, simultaneously a long-term lease agreement that secures usage. Business operations, address, and workforce remain where they are.
A lot changes in the balance sheet — the property leaves the fixed assets, depreciation becomes rental expense. Whether this is advantageous for your company depends on the legal form, financing structure, and tax starting position; therefore, we calculate this together with your tax advisor before anything is signed.
Crucial for the achievable price are the lease agreement term, creditworthiness, and third-party usability (Drittverwendungsfähigkeit) of the property in Höchst. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Owners of hotels and restaurants in Höchst who wish to sell their hospitality property or lease it want, will find FREITAG® to be a partner for the Horeca sector.
