Half-year review 2026: home ownership +4.7 % – a good time for a valuation?
The first half of 2026 is behind us – time to take stock of the Swiss property market. The figures speak clearly: according to the residential property price index of the Federal Statistical Office, prices for home ownership rose by 1.5 percent quarter on quarter in the first quarter of 2026, reaching 126.8 points; year on year, the increase is an impressive 4.7 percent. Single-family homes gained 4.6 percent, condominiums 4.8 percent. Anyone who owns a property has reason to be pleased – and should at the same time ask: what does this mean for my plans? Sell, hold, refinance? A sound answer begins with an up-to-date valuation.
