Price development with a split picture
In the second quarter of 2025, prices for condominiums in Switzerland will continue to rise, while single-family homes will move sideways. High demand continues to be met by a shortage of supply, which is driving up prices, particularly in the mid-range segment. A further increase is expected over the next twelve months.
According to the latest analyses by Fahrländer Partner Raumentwicklung (FPRE), prices for condominiums rose by 1.7 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter. The middle segment was particularly hard hit with an increase of 2.5 per cent. The lower ( 1.5 %) and upper segments ( 1.2 %) also recorded price increases. A year-on-year comparison shows significant growth, particularly in the regions of Basel ( 9.1 %), Zurich ( 7.9 %) and southern Switzerland ( 7.7 %).
Single-family homes with stable development
The situation is different for single-family homes. Compared to the previous quarter, prices have largely stagnated (-0.6 %). The change in the individual segments remains moderately negative, -1.1 per cent in the lower, -0.6 per cent in the middle and -0.4 per cent in the upper market segment. Over the course of a year, however, the average increase is 2.5 per cent.
Demand exceeds supply
The sustained demand for housing continues to be met with restrained construction activity. FPRE therefore expects prices to continue to rise over the next twelve months, both for condominiums and single-family homes. Central locations in particular are likely to benefit more. Stefan Fahrländer, Partner at FPRE, summarises: “The demand for residential property remains high, which is reflected in rising prices in almost all regions of Switzerland.”
