According to the Raiffeisen Bank transaction value index, in the 1st quarter private homes rose in price by 1.4% compared to the 4th quarter of 2025. Prices for apartments increased by an average of 1.8%. Compared to the 1st quarter of 2025, prices for both types of real estate rose by 4.9%.
"The high financial attractiveness of own housing supports price dynamics," said Fredi Hasenmile, chief Economist at Raiffeisen Switzerland.
If you look at the cantons, prices for private homes rose the most in the regions of Bern and Western Switzerland compared to last year. Prices for apartments showed the greatest growth in Central and Southern Switzerland.
By type of municipality, the largest increase in house prices was observed in tourist towns and communities, and the lowest in urban centers. Apartments also rose the most during the year in tourist regions.
Raiffeisen publishes the transaction Value Index quarterly at the beginning of each new quarter. The index measures the dynamics of residential property prices based on data from Raiffeisen Bank and the Swiss Real Estate Data Pool (SRED).
