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

We do not have any officially reliable transaction series for Rorschach. An appraisal is therefore based on comparable properties in the surrounding municipalities. Owners benefit when documentation is complete. Missing plans or unclear easements prolong every negotiation. The Wahlkreis Rorschach district generally serves as the comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Rorschach. An individual assessment for a specific property in Rorschach is possible despite the thin data situation; it is carried out via comparative values and a property inspection.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Rorschach — concisely answered.
Many owners in Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach 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 Rorschach legally permissible under building law, we clarify before marketing.

Rorschach 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.
Third-party usability, remaining term of rental agreements, and tenant creditworthiness determine the price of your commercial property. We tailor the documents precisely to these factors.
Credit checks, self-disclosure forms, handover protocols, and a clear tenancy agreement — we handle the entire letting process, including viewings.
From defining the ancillary costs arrangement to the handover: We structure the letting of your house in such a way that no disputes arise later.
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.

The new construction project Jakobspark is being built in Rorschach with 29 apartments on Lake Constance. According to the report, ten of the 29 apartments are already reserved; completion is planned for the end of 2028.
The city council of Rorschach granted two important building permits in November 2025: for the Stadtbahnhof Süd development and for the Jakobspark. This continues the inner renewal in Rorschach; south of the railway line, a new district is being created together with the already approved Feldmühle.
Up to 450 new apartments are to be built in Rorschach over the next few years. Building permit procedures are already underway or in preparation for several large projects, including Feldmühle, Stadtbahnhof Süd, Stadelstrasse, and Jakobspark.
The city of Rorschach published the public participation for the master plan. The documents concern, among other things, settlement, landscape, traffic, and infrastructure, and are therefore also relevant for future construction and development issues.
Commercial spaces, apartments, green spaces, and courtyards are to be built on the former Feldmühle site in Rorschach by 2026. The project transforms the former industrial area into a new district with residential and commercial use.
The city of Rorschach wants to expand its train station and develop the adjacent Feldmühle site for housing and commerce. The project provides for a barrier-free connection between north and south as well as a conversion of the industrial site.
On the Feldmühle site in Rorschach, the foundation is planning residential and commercial buildings with real estate developer Steiner. The city wants to expand its center there and simultaneously push ahead with rezoning and a special use plan.
A study shows that new residential buildings in Rorschach have an economic impact and that a good 400 new apartments have been built in previous years. Further large construction projects and high private investments are expected for the coming years.
