According to a report by Der Standard, there is currently increasing demand for real estate in urban centers. This leads to a shortage of available living space and, as a result, to rising rental and purchase prices.

Impact on the market

The increasing demand for real estate in urban centers is leading to a shortage of available living space. This drives up rental and purchase prices because there is an imbalance in supply and demand. The effects are particularly noticeable in metropolitan areas such as Vienna, Munich and Zurich. In the long term, this can lead to the displacement of lower-income sections of the population from urban centers and increase social segregation.

Analyzing the facts

The increasing demand for real estate is driven by various factors such as urbanization, the attractiveness of cities for jobs and immigration to metropolitan areas. At the same time, too little new living space is being created to keep up with demand. This leads to an imbalance in the real estate market, which is reflected in rising rental and purchase prices.

Impact on the industry

In the long term, rising rental and purchase prices can mean that lower-income sections of the population can no longer afford living space in urban centers. This could lead to increased demand for affordable housing in peripheral and rural regions. At the same time, the development also offers opportunities for investors and real estate companies who can benefit from rising prices.
