We generally market your property in Kerns initially off-market — without a sign, without an online advertisement, without a public exposé. Only when the discreet route has been exhausted and you expressly wish it, do we move to broad marketing. This way, your privacy is preserved — from neighbours, tenants, employees, and the tax office.

The following figures show how purchase prices, rents, and land values have developed in Kerns. 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 Kerns. 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 Kerns.

The property market in Kerns is a small sub-market. Few properties come onto the market each year, meaning every individual listing has a significant impact on price trends. Buyers should factor in additional costs, maintenance backlogs, and energy standards. Especially with older properties, these factors determine the actual financial burden. As soon as reliable market data for Kerns becomes available, we will add it here, including the source and date.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Kerns — concisely answered.
Many owners in Kerns 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 Kerns 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.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Kerns 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 Kerns. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Owners of hotels and restaurants in Kerns who wish to sell their hospitality property or lease it want, will find FREITAG® to be a partner for the Horeca sector.

Selling a hotel in Kerns without business interruption is a complex task: We assist with valuation, discreet exposé creation, and approaching suitable buyer groups — for ongoing operations as well as for properties with conversion potential.
Alternatively, we lease: solvent tenants with industry experience, checking of creditworthiness and concept, long-term predictable lease income. For every hospitality property in Kerns the right strategy.
