The price dynamics in the owner-occupied housing market have clearly intensified once again. Prices are rising significantly in all regions and segments. The price growth of single-family homes in tourist regions is particularly strong. They have become very popular in the homeworking era.
Compared to the previous year, single-family homes in southern Switzerland (+11.7%) and the Bern region (+11.1%) recorded the highest price increases within a year. In contrast, prices rose slightly less in Northwestern Switzerland (+6.4%) and Eastern Switzerland (+7.4%). Prices for owner-occupied apartments rose the most in the Lake Geneva region (+12.3%). The Eastern Switzerland region recorded a relatively small increase in condominium prices compared to the previous year (+2.0%).
The breakdown of price development by type of municipality shows that house prices have risen more strongly over the past year in the tourist municipalities (+18.3%) than in the other municipalities. The highest price increases in the condominium segment were also achieved in the tourist municipalities (+12.9%). With increases of around nine per cent, prices for owner-occupied apartments in the centres and urban municipalities also rose strongly.
