Market analysis & Classification
The real estate market in Hohenems 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 Hohenems an interesting prospect for owner-occupiers who value quiet living and good regional connectivity. 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, Hohenems is particularly attractive due to the combination of manageable entry prices, stable rents, and good lettability. Apartments in good condition with functional floor plans can generally be let quickly. The gross rental yield range is currently usually 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 property prices in Hohenems points to a market with moderate growth, solid demand, and limited downside risk. Anyone observing the price per square metre in Hohenems 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 in Hohenems within the Austrian market. For detached and terraced houses in Hohenems, 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 medium-sized markets following the interest rate turnaround. Condominiums in Hohenems 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 in Hohenems rose from 255 €/m² (2015) to the current 452 €/m² (+77.1% in 9 years) — an essential indicator of the structural location quality and local demand for building land. With around 16.317 inhabitants, Hohenems forms a comparatively tight market segment — 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 negotiating room. For owners in Hohenems 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.

FAQ about real estate in Hohenems
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Hohenems — concisely answered.
📍 Location & Situation of Hohenems
Hohenems is located in the district of Dornbirn, federal state Vorarlberg auf rund 432 m above sea level and is considered around 16,317 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.
Hohenems has approximately 16,317 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.
Hohenems belongs to the federal state Vorarlberg, district Dornbirn. 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 Hohenems (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohenems). 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 Hohenems and the Surrounding Area
Hohenems 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 Hohenems, 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 Hohenems 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 Hohenems, 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 Hohenems
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 Dornbirn.
The average marketing period in a municipality like Hohenems 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 Hohenems 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 Hohenems
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 Hohenems, 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 Hohenems 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 Hohenems, 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 Hohenems
Release capital in Hohenems — lifelong right of residence included.
Many owners in Hohenems 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 Hohenems 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.
Sell commercial property and lease back: Sale & Lease-Back
Entrepreneurs in Hohenems who wish to sell their commercial property and lease it back use Sale & Lease-Back: They sell office buildings, warehouses or practice premises to an investor, receive liquidity for growth or consolidation, and lease the property back long-term. The location in Hohenems remains unchanged.
FREITAG® accompanies the entire process: value-based valuation, selection of qualified investors, contract drafting with clear lease-back conditions — including options for repurchase and flexible terms.
We check free of charge whether your commercial property in Hohenems is suitable for a Sale & Lease-Back and obtain transparent offers — without obligation and without hidden costs.
Business succession in the hospitality industry: Properties in Hohenems.
Whether a country inn, city café, hotel garni, or boarding house with an annex — for hospitality and accommodation properties in Hohenems there is a specific, manageable circle of buyers. We have known and cultivated this circle for years, instead of advertising widely.
Often, leasing is the calmer path: you retain the property in Hohenems your portfolio, hand over operational management, and receive ongoing income. We check the concept and creditworthiness of the tenant before the contract is concluded.
If the property is vacant or no longer profitable to operate, we examine repurposing — for example, into residential space, a boarding house, or practice premises. What is Hohenems legally permissible under building law, we clarify before marketing.
