Condominiums remain in demand even with record supply
The supply of condominiums reached a new high in 2025 with around 101,000 advertised properties. Despite this record supply, demand remains high according to an analysis by ImmoScout24 and partners, and the average advertising period is shortening.
The latest Online Home Market Analysis by ImmoScout24, in collaboration with the Swiss Homeowners Association and the Swiss Real Estate Institute, analyses the advertisements for condominiums in 2025. According to a press release, a new high has been reached with around 101,000 advertised properties – the highest since the survey began in 2016. At the same time, the growth in supply has slowed significantly. At the same time, the average advertising period has been reduced by eight days to 84 days, which indicates that demand for condominiums is increasing again compared to the previous year.
The study cites the changed interest rate environment in particular as a reason for this: falling financing costs and easier mortgage lending in some cases are making home ownership more attractive than rental properties. In addition, the need for a secure long-term living situation is becoming more important again.
“The fact that condominiums are selling more quickly again despite the large supply is a clear sign. Swiss people want to live within their own four walls. Fortunately, the dream of home ownership is still realisable for many people,” Markus Meier, Director of the Swiss Homeowners’ Association, is quoted as saying.
There is also a uniform regional trend: In all major regions, the insertion period is shorter than in 2024, with condominiums continuing to sell particularly quickly in Central Switzerland (61 days), Zurich (64 days) and the Geneva region (65 days). A particularly dynamic development in demand can be seen in Ticino, where the time it takes to place an advertisement has been significantly reduced by 22 per cent despite a sharp increase in the number of listings (10 per cent).
