Switzerland: Where are property prices rising the most? The most expensive and cheapest cities at a glance.

According to a report by www.blick.ch,

Real estate prices are increasing at different rates in Switzerland. Prices per square meter have risen the most in Zurich. Developments across Switzerland show differences between condominiums and single-family homes. In the first quarter of 2020, a square meter of a condominium cost 7,354 francs, and in the last quarter of 2024 it cost 8,686 francs - an increase of 18 percent. Single-family homes have also become more expensive, but prices have been stagnating for a year and a half. Prices per square meter are the most expensive in Zurich, Geneva and Lausanne, followed by Lucerne, Basel and Winterthur. However, the price does not correspond to the increase in all cities: prices increased in Zurich, St. Gallen, Geneva and Solothurn, while they decreased in Neuchâtel, Lugano and Lausanne.

This development may have an impact on the real estate market in Switzerland. In the most expensive cities, high prices could reduce demand, and in cities with lower prices, potential buyers could be attracted. This could lead to a shift in the real estate market in Switzerland as buyers and investors look for cheaper alternatives. However, it remains to be seen whether these developments will have a long-term impact on the market.
