Why a professional real estate appraisal is crucial
A realistic property valuation is the foundation of a successful sale. If the asking price is set too high, the time it takes to sell the property will increase. If it is set too low, owners are essentially giving away money. Property prices are rising rapidly, particularly in the city of Salzburg, Flachgau, and Pinzgau. A professional valuation protects you from making the wrong decisions and ensures a sound pricing strategy.
Here's how we handle your property valuation
Your property appraisal begins with a few details about your property—such as its location, size, and type. After reviewing your information, we’ll schedule an in-person on-site visit. During the visit, we’ll assess the property’s condition, features, renovations, and micro-location. Only after this inspection can we determine a realistic market value. After all, a reliable appraisal isn’t possible without a personal analysis.

Additional questions
Is the property appraisal free of charge?
Yes, at Ferstl Immobilien, the non-binding property valuation is free of charge—especially if it is related to a planned sale. Ferstl Immobilien offers property owners a non-binding market price estimate that includes a location analysis, comparable properties, and a realistic sales price strategy.
Here’s an example: You want to sell your single-family home but aren’t sure if your asking price is realistic. Ferstl Immobilien analyzes recent comparable sales, location factors, and the condition of the property to provide a well-founded assessment—at no cost to you if you’re interested in selling.
A court-certified appraisal of market value prepared by a certified appraiser, however, is subject to a fee. This is required, for example, in cases of divorce, inheritance, or tax-related matters. We have the necessary partnerships in place to connect you with the right professional.
Please note: Brief appraisals by Ferstl Immobilien do not comply with ÖNORM 1802-1 and therefore lack any normative basis!
How does a real estate appraisal work?
First, we conduct a property survey to gather and verify relevant information about the property, such as the year of construction, living area, renovations, energy efficiency ratings, and land details. Ferstl Immobilien then analyzes the local market, comparable sales, and demand trends. Professional valuation methods are applied during this process (see Question 3 for details).
A practical example: An apartment building is not valued solely based on price per square meter. Lease agreements, potential returns, and maintenance reserves are all taken into account.
Finally, you will receive a transparent valuation report that includes a pricing strategy tailored to your goals (quick sale vs. maximum proceeds).
Why aren't you receiving an instant market value estimate after submitting the form?
A reliable valuation is only possible after a personal inspection. Unlike anonymous online calculators, we provide you with a well-founded, transparent, and region-specific market analysis. We take into account not only prices per square meter, but also location quality, condition, renovations, and current demand. This provides a realistic basis for your decision to sell—transparent, discreet, and tailored to your needs.
What valuation methods are commonly used in Austria?
In Austria, three methods are used: the sales comparison approach, the cost approach, and the income approach, in accordance with the LBG.
The sales comparison approach is suitable for condominiums and typical single-family homes. The cost approach is used for more unique properties. The income approach is key for apartment buildings or leased commercial properties and is based on sustainable rental income.
Ferstl Immobilien selects the appropriate method based on the type of property and, if necessary, combines several methods to determine a realistic market value.
What documents are required for a real estate appraisal and sale?
How long does a real estate appraisal take?
A thorough market valuation typically takes 2–5 business days after the property inspection.
A court-certified expert opinion prepared by a certified expert can take several weeks to complete.
Ferstl Immobilien provides property owners with a prompt and reliable market valuation—ideal for those looking to sell quickly.
Do renovations affect property values?
Yes, energy-efficient renovations, new windows, or a modern bathroom increase the property's market value.
Example: A new heat pump or an energy-efficient renovation can increase the selling price by several percent.
Ferstl Immobilien evaluates not only the investment costs but also actual market acceptance.
How does property valuation work in cases of inheritance or divorce?
In the event of a divorce or inheritance, an objective and legally sound valuation is crucial, as the property’s value often serves as the basis for the division of assets, equalization payments, or a subsequent sale. In such cases, a simple market price estimate is not sufficient.
Step 1: We recommend obtaining a court-certified market value appraisal from a certified appraiser. This appraisal complies with current valuation standards and is admissible in court as well as with banks and government agencies.
Upon request, Ferstl Immobilien can arrange for an experienced, independent appraiser.
Step 2: Once the appraisal report is available, Ferstl Immobilien will be happy to assist you in managing the entire sales process in a structured manner.
The goal is to find a practical, transparent, and economically sound solution for all parties.
