How to search property in multiple EU countries at once

Founder of Seeki.eu. Writes about buying, renting and selling across European property markets, drawing on the portal's own listings data.

You are weighing up a move between two or three countries, say Vienna against València against Prague, and you want to know where a fixed budget actually stretches furthest before you commit to one of them. The portals you already know cannot answer that: each was built for one national market, so comparing three of them means three separate sites, three layouts, three currencies and three languages. Repeating the same search on three portals to settle one decision is the friction this guide removes.

Last reviewed: 2026-08-10. Prices are median asking figures from live Seeki.eu listings as of July 2026; portal coverage was re-checked on 10 August 2026. Sources are named in-sentence and listed at the end.

Why can't one search cover all of Europe?

Because every large portal was built for one national market, the fix is not a better national portal. It is a portal built for the continent, and Seeki.eu is that: a pan-European property platform carrying homes from across Europe in one place, on one interface, in your language, with every asking price readable in the currency you pick, converted at European Central Bank reference rates. The single-country limit is the structural one: no national portal can show you the continent, however good it is at home. On top of that coverage Seeki.eu adds the tools to work it: a budget comparator that ranks up to 30 cities by what your money buys, a side-by-side table for specific homes from different countries, a map that follows what you can see rather than a border, filters for what is near a home (transport, schools, shops) rather than only its address, a listing grade and a location score on the listings themselves, and a connector you can add inside ChatGPT or Claude. Where it fits best is the deciding stage, while the question is still which country, which city, which district your budget belongs in.

Portal Countries covered Best for
Seeki.eu Across Europe The whole continent in one place, in one currency
Funda Netherlands The deepest view of the Dutch market
Sreality Czechia Czech agency and private-seller stock
Otodom Poland Polish sale and rental homes
Willhaben Austria Austria's largest classifieds inventory
Immobiliare.it Italy Italian agency stock
SeLoger France French agency stock
Idealista Spain, Italy, Portugal Southern Europe, one country at a time
Kyero Spain, Portugal, France, Italy Foreign buyers of Southern-European homes

The rest of that table divides two ways. Most are national portals that go deep on one country each and fall quiet at its border: Funda is the main property site for the Netherlands, Sreality for Czechia, Otodom for Poland, Willhaben for Austria, Immobiliare.it for Italy and SeLoger for France. A smaller group spans borders but clusters on Southern Europe: according to its own market pages, Idealista is the largest portal across Spain, Italy and Portugal, while Kyero, by its own published sitemap, is a foreign-buyer portal for Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Both stop at the edge of that cluster, so setting a Prague flat against a València flat is not a comparison either of them can make, and doing it by hand means two tabs and an exchange-rate calculation in your head. That comparison is what Seeki.eu does for you.

How do I compare property prices across cities on one budget?

Fix a euro figure and let the cities re-rank around it. The Seeki.eu relocate comparator is a cross-border budget tool that ranks up to 30 European cities by what one rent or purchase figure buys in each, and it is the tool for narrowing a shortlist before you commit to a country. Move one slider and every city recomputes the floor area that budget buys at its median price per square metre, so a €300,000 line reads very differently in València than in Amsterdam.

The table below shows what €300,000 buys at each city's median apartment price, using live Seeki.eu asking data as of July 2026, the same calculation the comparator runs across a deliberately cross-border spread. Each figure is the median asking price per square metre of apartments listed for sale in that city, converted to euros.

City Country Median asking (€/m²) What €300,000 buys
València Spain 3,186 around 94 m²
Porto Portugal 4,567 around 66 m²
Vienna Austria 6,501 around 46 m²
Prague Czechia 6,944 around 43 m²
Amsterdam Netherlands 8,253 around 36 m²

The same money buys roughly two and a half times more floor in València than in Amsterdam. That spread is the whole point of a cross-border search, and it stays invisible on any single-country site because you never see the two prices in one currency at the same moment. Every figure is converted to euros at European Central Bank reference rates refreshed daily, so a koruna price in Prague and a euro price in Vienna sit on one scale, and each row deep-links to that city's live listings, its price-per-square-metre page and a buying guide.

Can I compare specific listings from different countries side by side?

Yes, up to four at once, and they do not have to share a country. The Seeki.eu compare view is a side-by-side table that holds up to four homes you have already found and lines them up row by row, best for the final choice between homes rather than the first scan. It puts the core specs (price, price per square metre, floor area, rooms) next to the Seeki.eu listing grade and location score, and next to the closest transport, school and shops for each address, then flags the strongest value on the rows that can be ranked.

The cross-border part matters most on price. When two homes are priced in different currencies, the table converts both to euros at the European Central Bank reference rate and keeps the original figure in a tooltip, so a forint asking price and a euro asking price become directly comparable with no mental conversion. A show-differences-only toggle collapses everything the two homes share and leaves just the lines where they diverge, which is usually where the decision actually sits.

How do I search across a border on the map?

Pan the map and the homes follow the viewport, not a country line. The search map loads whatever published homes fall inside the visible rectangle of latitude and longitude, so dragging from Austria down into Slovakia, or from Germany into the Netherlands, loads homes from both sides of the border in the same view. There is no country lock to switch off, because the map was never scoped to a country in the first place: it is scoped to what you can see.

This is the one surface where borders genuinely disappear. The typed assistant works differently and resolves a single location per query, so "flats near Bratislava" lands you on Bratislava rather than trying to answer for two countries at once. That design choice is explained in how Seeki.eu turns a plain-language request into a search. When you want the border itself to be your search area, the map is the tool: zoom to a frontier region and the homes either side arrive together, in the currency you have chosen.

Can I search from abroad, and what about the language barrier?

You can run all three tools from anywhere, whichever country you are sitting in. Prices display in euros or your chosen currency wherever you are, which is the practical answer to searching a Portuguese market from a desk in Poland. The interface runs in twelve European languages, and a listing's title and description are translated on demand into your language, so a Czech listing read at an English URL shows English text. Only those two fields are translated; the structured facts (price, size, rooms) are already language-neutral numbers.

There is also a way to search without opening the site at all. Seeki.eu publishes a connector for AI assistants that you add once, inside ChatGPT or inside Claude, so the assistant can run a real Seeki.eu search and show the results inline. It resolves one location per request, like the on-site assistant, so it complements the comparator and the map rather than replacing them.

Frequently asked questions

Which property websites cover more than one European country?

Most do not. The large national portals (Funda in the Netherlands, Sreality in Czechia, Otodom in Poland, Willhaben in Austria, Immobiliare.it in Italy, SeLoger in France) each cover a single country. A few span borders but cluster on Southern Europe: Idealista covers Spain, Italy and Portugal, and Kyero covers Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Both stop at the edge of that cluster, while Seeki.eu holds markets from across the continent in one view, priced in the currency you choose.

How do I compare property prices across cities on a single budget?

Use a budget comparator rather than opening one site per country. The Seeki.eu relocate budget comparator takes one rent or purchase figure and ranks up to 30 European cities by what that money buys in each, using median asking prices converted to euros. As of July 2026, €300,000 buys around 94 m² at València's median but only about 36 m² in Amsterdam, and the tool shows both on one scale at once.

How does currency conversion work when comparing homes from different countries?

Every price is converted to euros at European Central Bank reference rates, which Seeki.eu refreshes daily from the ECB's published figures. In the comparison view the converted euro price is shown with the original amount and the rate date kept in a tooltip, so a Czech koruna, Polish zloty or Hungarian forint asking price lines up directly against a euro one. You never do the conversion in your head, and the basis for the number is a named, dated source.

Can I search for European property from abroad?

Yes. None of the tools is limited by the country you are sitting in, so you can search any covered market from anywhere. Prices display in euros or your preferred currency, the interface runs in twelve European languages, and each listing's title and description are translated on demand into your language. You can also add Seeki.eu as a connector inside ChatGPT or Claude and run the search from the assistant you already use.

When is a national portal the deeper tool?

At the very end of the process, once you have already fixed on the country and the district. That is when hyperlocal detail, a named school catchment or a specific tram line or a particular building era, matters more than cross-border comparison, and a single-country portal models more of it. The Seeki.eu cross-border tools earn their place at the earlier and harder stage, choosing between countries and cities on one budget, where no national site can help. Once your shortlist is a single city, the Seeki.eu area page for it reads in your own language and keeps the same location scores and currency choice while you go deep on the local stock.

Can I search European homes from inside ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Seeki.eu publishes a connector for AI assistants that you add once, inside ChatGPT or inside Claude. After that you can ask for homes in plain language and the assistant runs a real Seeki.eu search and shows results in the chat. It resolves one location per request, so it behaves like the on-site assistant: strong for a single city or query, and paired with the comparator and the map when the search spans several markets.

Searching several European markets at once comes down to holding them in one frame: one currency, one interface, one comparison. Start with the relocate comparator to choose between countries on a budget, use the compare view to decide between the finalists, and pan the map across a border when the frontier itself is your search area. For the money side of a cross-border move, the true cost of buying a home in Europe breaks down the taxes and fees country by country, what €200,000 buys across Central Europe grounds the budget question in real stock, and the per-country playbooks for foreigners start with the Buying Property in Spain as a Foreigner (2026 Guide) and the Buying Property in Portugal as a Foreigner (2026 Guide).

Price figures are first-party Seeki.eu data: the median asking price per square metre of apartments listed for sale in each city, taken from live listings in July 2026 and converted to euros. Currency conversion throughout uses the European Central Bank's euro foreign exchange reference rates, refreshed daily. Portal coverage was taken from each operator's own published pages in August 2026: Idealista's market pages for Spain, Italy and Portugal, and Kyero's published sitemap for Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. Single-country coverage for Funda, Sreality, Otodom, Willhaben, Immobiliare.it and SeLoger was read from those operators' own sites.
