Swiss house prices rose by 6,5 percent in 2025

Mortgage broker Moneypark and property valuation startup Pricehubble have shared that average house and apartment prices rose again across Switzerland in 2025.

How much did property prices rise in Switzerland in 2025?

Owning a home continues to get more expensive for families in Switzerland. The cost of buying a house rose in 2025, with the price of a single-family home rising by 6,5 percent. Apartment prices also rose across the alpine nation by an average of 5,9 percent, reports Watson.

The cost of owning a single-family home in Switzerland also varied by region. Prices rose the most in German-speaking Switzerland (+7 percent) followed by French-speaking Switzerland (+5 percent). 

In comparison, apartment prices increased at more or less the same rate across the country. French-speaking Switzerland saw a 6 percent increase, on average, while German-speaking Switzerland saw a 5,9 percent price increase. 

Housing market picked up in second half of 2025

“The buyer’s market also picked up noticeably” in the second half of the year, as a result of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) lowering the key interest rate from 1,75 percent to 0 percent. “The share of new financing reached 47 percent, the highest level since the sharp rise in interest rates four years ago,” continues Watson.

The vacancy rate (i.e. number of houses or apartments available to rent or buy) is 1 percent in Switzerland, according to the Federal Statistical Office. The lack of housing available is partially to blame for the continued increase in Swiss property prices in recent years. The average house price is around 1 million Swiss francs, although it varies greatly by canton and city.
