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 Rafz. 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 Rafz.

Pricing in Rafz works on a property-specific basis. Condition, plot, orientation and development explain more than any regional average. Buyers should factor in additional costs, renovation backlogs and energy standards. Especially with older properties, this determines the actual financial burden. The district of Bülach generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction methods there are most comparable to Rafz. We continuously update the data for Rafz and provide a source for every figure instead of estimating values.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Rafz — concisely answered.
For owners in Rafz 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 Rafz 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 Rafz, 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 Rafz 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 Rafz. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Hospitality properties in Rafz are valued differently from residential properties: Key factors are turnover, contribution margin, seating capacity, kitchen technology, licences, and whether the business can function without the previous owner. We value based on the earnings approach and openly state which portions are attributable to the property, inventory, and goodwill.
Marketing is conducted discreetly. A publicly visible sales offer unsettles staff, regular customers, and suppliers in Rafz — therefore, we approach interested parties specifically and under a confidentiality agreement.
Whether selling, leasing, or handing over to a successor within the family: We structure the path that suits the situation of your business in Rafz , and accompany you until the notary or lease agreement appointment.

Rafz is located in a border region — many of our clients compare locations across countries. These municipalities in neighbouring countries offer similar location qualities and are often the closest alternative:
Detailed analysis of the plot, year of construction, condition, and micro-location. We develop an individual marketing strategy and support the house sale up to the notary appointment.
Minutes of the owners' meeting, maintenance reserve fund, and special rights of use are also decisive for the price. We review the documents before the first viewing appointment.
We clarify the development plan, development status, and suspected contamination in advance — this prevents price reductions during negotiations.
Office, practice, warehouse, hotel, or gastronomy — discreet marketing with a sound valuation and personal support until completion.
Credit checks, self-disclosure forms, handover protocols, and a clear tenancy agreement — we handle the entire letting process, including viewings.
Detached houses, semi-detached houses, or terraced houses appeal to different target groups — we ensure the appropriate presentation and solvent tenants.
Right of residence (Wohnrecht), leaseback, life annuity (Leibrente), or usufruct (Nießbrauch) — we examine the most suitable option for you and advise on opportunities and framework conditions.
