The results are presented in the current issue of “EY Real Estate Spotlight” in the mid-term review of the EY Real Estate Trendbarometer 2024. The study is based on a survey of selected market participants who represent a representative cross-section of the Swiss property investment market.

Markus Waeber, Head Indirect Real Estate Advisory & Intelligence at Julius Baer, was asked to assess the current market sentiment and purchase price trends. He concludes that Switzerland remains an attractive location for property investments and believes that the trough in transaction volumes caused by last year’s interest rate hikes has been passed. In terms of purchase price development, he currently only expects the possibility of price declines in the commercial sector - in his opinion, however, the pressure on the seller side is currently still too low for properties to be sold below value.
