Swiss home prices rose again in the third quarter of 2026
Prices for owner-occupied homes in Switzerland rose again in the third quarter of 2026.
Detached houses cost 2.0% more than in the previous quarter, while apartments rose 1.7%.
Compared with a year earlier, house prices were up 3.6% and apartment prices 5.9%.
Higher rates on fixed mortgages have not reversed the rise, as the increase in rates has been moderate and the supply of homes remains limited.
Price changes varied by region: apartment prices rose 7.4% in southern Switzerland but just 0.4% in the Lake Geneva region over the year.
The figures track actual purchase prices, but no further outlook is given.
Swiss owner-occupied home prices rose in the third quarter of 2026, according to the Raiffeisen Transaction Price Index.
Prices for single-family homes increased 2.0% from the previous quarter, while condominium prices rose 1.7%.
Compared with the same quarter a year earlier, single-family home prices were up 3.6% and condominium prices 5.9%.
Raiffeisen chief economist Fredy Hasenmaile said a moderate rise in fixed mortgage rates had not reversed price growth because the supply of owner-occupied homes remained too limited.
Price changes varied by region and municipality type.
