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 Lucerne. 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 Lucerne.

Lucerne is one of those municipalities where no statistically reliable price per square metre can be established because too few transactions take place. Anyone selling should plan the marketing period realistically. In thin markets, patience is often more valuable than a quick price reduction. The Wahlkreis Luzern-Stadt district generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Lucerne. For reasons of transparency, we do not provide prices per square metre for Lucerne as long as there is no reliable data basis.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Lucerne — concisely answered.
Many owners in Lucerne 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne. 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 Lucerne who wish to sell their hospitality property or lease it want, will find FREITAG® to be a partner for the Horeca sector. We broker everything from traditional guesthouses and cafés to hotels and boarding houses to investors and successors who understand the industry.
Selling a hotel in Lucerne 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 Lucerne the right strategy.

The Lucerne SP criticizes the planned further development of business promotion as being one-sided in favor of companies. The focus is on the announced support package from the Canton of Lucerne.
The Government Council intends to significantly expand the business promotion of the Canton of Lucerne. According to the report, investments are to flow into site development and priority economic areas.
Following the OECD minimum tax, the Canton of Lucerne wants to counteract with a large support package. Planned measures include subsidies for companies, contributions for site searches, and measures to secure the Lucerne location.
Starting in 2026, the Lucerne government is planning an investment offensive of 300 million Swiss francs annually for the living and business location. A focus is on the availability of commercial space and better framework conditions for companies.
In 2022, 265 apartments were newly built in the city of Lucerne. The statistics also show that these new buildings were predominantly created in apartment buildings or mixed-use buildings.
The Canton of Lucerne has set its priorities for the New Regional Policy until 2027. Projects that strengthen the location's attractiveness for companies and create new jobs will be supported.
In Lucerne, fewer apartments were built last year than ever before. The report points to a significant decline in new construction and the tense situation on the housing market.
