In Linz, two close associates of Haimbuchner have acquired luxury social housing in an excellent location. According to DER STANDARD, the apartments were sold significantly below market value, with the seller being a state-owned housing cooperative that is under Haimbuchner's oversight.

The previous sales of the apartments have sparked a debate centered on the then regional councilor for housing subsidies, who is now the state vice-governor. The political opposition, including the SPÖ, Greens, and Neos, is demanding a thorough investigation into the events to clarify any potential irregularities.
