What immosuchmaschine does

immosuchmaschine.at, operated by Immobilien Scout Österreich GmbH, is an Austrian meta-search engine for residential and commercial real estate. The platform aggregates more than 400,000 listings from 24 Austrian real estate portals and classified sites, covering all 9 federal states and property types ranging from rental apartments, shared flats (WG-Zimmer), cooperative and municipal housing, houses, and plots to commercial real estate (offices, retail, gastronomy, industrial). Up to 9,000 new listings are indexed per day, with expired listings removed automatically, and duplicate listings across portals are grouped into a unified presentation. The user-facing product consists of a web platform plus native iOS and Android apps, a free Search Agent that delivers daily email and WhatsApp alerts, and a bookmark list (Merkliste) for saved searches. Underlying technology is automated crawling and indexing of publicly available listings combined with multi-criteria filtering (property type, price, size, rooms, balcony, garden, parking, pet-friendly, unfristed, new construction, first occupancy).

The business model is a free, ad-supported consumer search experience. End users pay nothing and are not required to register; monetization is generated through display advertising delivered via Google AdSense and Criteo, and through referral/affiliate traffic redirected to partner portals — primarily the sister site immobilienscout24.at — where users complete transactions or view full listings. A symbiotic relationship with immobilienscout24.at means new ads published on the partner portal appear in immosuchmaschine search results within hours, while immosuchmaschine users are funneled back to the partner for listing creation and deeper engagement. Distribution is also extended via a German sister site, immosuchmaschine.de, applying the same meta-search model to the DACH market.

The company is privately held and wholly owned by the Scout24 Group, a European digital marketplace operator, and is led by Managing Directors Markus Dejmek and Joseph Obiegbu. With 1–10 employees, it operates as a lean, traffic-acquisition layer within the broader Scout24 ecosystem rather than as an independent scale-up, and reports approximately 180,000 monthly users based on Q1 2023 Google Analytics data. No public funding rounds, M&A activity, or independent financial disclosures are available.

Broad incumbents

• Idealista: Leading property portal in Spain, Portugal, and Italy with listing aggregation, alerts, and agent tools. Comparable as a European incumbent portal serving multiple fragmented national markets with a search-first user experience.
• Immobilienscout24.at: Sister portal of immosuchmaschine.at within the Scout24 Group and Austria's leading property listings platform. Comparable as the upstream inventory source and the most direct consumer destination once users leave the meta-search.
• Zillow: US-leading real estate marketplace combining aggregated listings, proprietary data (Zestimate), and lead generation for agents. Comparable as a large-scale aggregation and search platform with monetization beyond pure display advertising.
• Rightmove: UK's largest property portal aggregating listings from agents and developers with advanced search and alert features. Comparable as an incumbent portal with meta-search-adjacent aggregation capabilities and a deeply established consumer brand.
• Immobilienscout24 (DE): The flagship Scout24 property portal in Germany and the dominant DACH real estate marketplace. Comparable as the parent group's main property asset and the primary listing partner underlying the meta-search business model.

Direct peers

• Immowelt: German real estate portal offering unified search across multiple listing sources with subscription-based agent tools. Operates a similar meta-search and aggregation model in a DACH market closely adjacent to Austria.
• Willhaben: Austria's largest general classifieds portal with a dominant real estate vertical that aggregates listings, charges for placements, and serves millions of Austrian property seekers. It is the most direct substitute for Austrian users searching for property.
• Immonet: German real estate search portal (now part of the Immowelt group) that aggregates listings and offers comparison features for buyers and renters. Comparable in aggregation-style search and target audience within the DACH region.
• immosuchmaschine.de: The German-language sister site under the same Scout24-owned Immobilien Scout operation, running an identical meta-search engine model that aggregates German property listings. It is the closest functional clone of the Austrian platform in a different geography.

Regional players

• Leboncoin: France's dominant general classifieds platform with a substantial real estate vertical aggregating listings from agents and individuals. Comparable as a regional classifieds incumbent that competes with dedicated real estate portals and meta-search experiences.
