Despite a subdued economy and geopolitical turbulence, conditions for Switzerland’s real estate market remain favourable. The attractive interest rate environment continues to support strong demand for Swiss property and is pushing prices upwards.

Upmarket residential properties

Switzerland is continuing to experience very vigorous demand for owner-occupied housing in coveted locations. Prices rose once again at the start of 2026 and can be expected to continue on this upward trajectory, albeit at a slower pace.

Investment properties

Direct investments in Swiss real estate remain attractive. Above all, apartment buildings continue to enjoy favourable income prospects due to the persistent housing shortage. In the office property market, the focus increasingly lies on the location and quality of buildings.

Indirect real estate investments

Temporary price losses after the outbreak of the Middle East crisis have already been largely reversed. Strong primary market activity for real estate funds continues.
