The following figures show how purchase prices, rents, and land values have developed in Grindelwald. These are average values for the entire location — the location, year of construction, and condition of a specific property can deviate significantly from these.
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 Grindelwald. 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 Grindelwald.

The real estate market in Grindelwald is a small sub-market. Few properties come onto the market each year, and consequently, every individual listing has a strong impact on price trends. Owners benefit when documentation is complete. Missing plans or unclear easements prolong every negotiation. The Interlaken-Oberhasli district generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction methods there are most comparable to Grindelwald. For reasons of transparency, we do not state price per m² for Grindelwald as long as there is no reliable data basis.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Grindelwald — concisely answered.
For owners in Grindelwald who wish to sell their property and continue to live in it, FREITAG® offers the classic property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) — via usufruct (Nießbrauch), Right of residence, Leaseback or Life annuity. You release the capital tied up in your house or condominium in Grindelwald and secure a right of residence registered in the land registry.
The model that is particularly in demand is Usufruct: You remain the economic owner, are in the first rank in the land registry, and can even rent out the property if needed. An owner-occupancy termination is contractually excluded for all four models.
Whether it's care costs, gifts to heirs, or a noticeably higher pension: We will check for owners in Grindelwald, free of charge, which model suits their life situation, and obtain offers from selected investors and foundations.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Grindelwald in their own property instead of in operational business. Sale & Lease-Back solves this: sale to an investor, simultaneously a long-term lease agreement that secures usage. Business operations, address, and workforce remain where they are.
A lot changes in the balance sheet — the property leaves the fixed assets, depreciation becomes rental expense. Whether this is advantageous for your company depends on the legal form, financing structure, and tax starting position; therefore, we calculate this together with your tax advisor before anything is signed.
Crucial for the achievable price are the lease agreement term, creditworthiness, and third-party usability (Drittverwendungsfähigkeit) of the property in Grindelwald. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
