Graz
Graz, the second largest city in Austria and the economic heart of Styria, has an extremely attractive investment environment for the real estate sector. The city benefits from a steadily growing population, a strong economic base with numerous resident com- panies, and large universities. These factors support the growing demand for housing, above all for age-appropriate and future-proof apartments. Migration to Graz from regions in the provinces of Styria, Burgenland and Carinthia remains unbroken. Current market data show an average price of 3,650 Euros/
