The Swiss real estate market continues to show strong price stability.
The persistently low interest-rate environment is supporting demand for single-family homes. According to Wüest Partner, transaction prices for single-family homes are expected to increase by 3.1% in 2026. Second-home markets continue to outperform the Swiss average, although their price dynamics follow different conditions than those of primary-residence markets. Purchases of vacation apartments and houses tend to be less price-sensitive, as buyers usually finance them with their own capital.
Due to the ongoing low-interest environment and the tight situation in the rental market, demand for homeownership will continue to rise, especially since owning a home is more attractive than renting. Only a slight slowdown in population growth—driven by a cooling labor market—could provide some relief.
