Market data for Ascona at a glance: purchase prices for houses and flats, rents, and land values, each with a history of several years. The basis is publicly available statistics and analyses from the valuation committees.
For Swiss municipalities, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) does not publish square metre prices per municipality, but rather the national residential property price index IMPI. We therefore show the national index – as a reference for long-term price development in Ascona. Basis: Q4 2019 = 100.
Index level 2026: 126.8 points (Basis Q4 2019 = 100)
The national FSO index IMPI reflects the development of transaction prices for owner-occupied housing in Switzerland. As the FSO does not publish square metre prices specific to municipalities, the national index serves as a reliable reference for long-term price development — including in Ascona.

Anyone selling should plan the marketing period realistically. In thin markets, patience is often more valuable than a quick price reduction. The real estate market in Ascona is a small sub-market. Few properties come onto the market each year, and consequently, every individual listing has a strong impact on the price structure. The district of Locarno generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Ascona. For reasons of transparency, we do not provide price per square metre figures for Ascona as long as there is no reliable data basis.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Ascona — concisely answered.
Many owners in Ascona are sitting on an asset that they cannot access because they do not want to give up their home. This is precisely whatProperty annuity (Immobilienverrentung) is for: The sale takes place, but the move-out does not. Depending on the model — Usufruct, Right of abode, Life annuity or Leaseback — the purchase price is paid as a lump sum, as a monthly annuity, or as a combination of both.
Security is crucial: The right of abode (Wohnrecht) is entered in the land register (Grundbuch) in the first rank, before the buyer is registered as the owner. We will calculate for your property in Ascona how much the usufruct (Nießbrauch) value reduces the purchase price — and whether this is more profitable compared to a traditional sale.
We approach this with an open mind. If a normal sale with a subsequent move is economically better for you, we will tell you — instead of trying to sell a property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) model that doesn't suit your needs.
Entrepreneurs in Ascona who wish to sell their commercial property and lease it back use Sale & Lease-Back: They sell office buildings, warehouses or practice premises to an investor, receive liquidity for growth or consolidation, and lease the property back long-term. The location in Ascona remains unchanged.
FREITAG® accompanies the entire process: value-based valuation, selection of qualified investors, contract drafting with clear lease-back conditions — including options for repurchase and flexible terms.
We check free of charge whether your commercial property in Ascona is suitable for a Sale & Lease-Back and obtain transparent offers — without obligation and without hidden costs.
Whether a country inn, city café, hotel garni, or boarding house with an annex — for hospitality and accommodation properties in Ascona there is a specific, manageable circle of buyers. We have known and cultivated this circle for years, instead of advertising widely.
Often, leasing is the calmer path: you retain the property in Ascona your portfolio, hand over operational management, and receive ongoing income. We check the concept and creditworthiness of the tenant before the contract is concluded.
If the property is vacant or no longer profitable to operate, we examine repurposing — for example, into residential space, a boarding house, or practice premises. What is Ascona legally permissible under building law, we clarify before marketing.
