Market data for Stein at a glance: purchase prices for houses and flats, rents, and land values, each with a history of several years. The basis is publicly available statistics and analyses from the valuation committees.
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 Stein. 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 Stein.

Pricing in Stein works on an object-specific basis. Condition, plot, orientation, and development explain more than any regional average. For sellers, this means: the asking price should be derived from comparable properties in neighbouring municipalities and not taken from a cantonal average. The Hinterland district generally serves as the comparison area because the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Stein. An individual assessment for a specific property in Stein 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 Stein — concisely answered.
Property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) in Stein means: You transfer ownership, but retain the right of use. Four options are available — Usufruct (Nießbrauch) (most extensive rights, including letting), Right of abode (personal use), Life annuity (monthly payment instead of a lump sum) and Sale-and-leaseback (sale at full price, followed by a rental agreement).
Which option is suitable depends on your age, health status, inheritance situation and the current market value of your property in Stein. These factors directly influence the valuation — therefore, we do not make blanket promises regarding the achievable amount.
The initial consultation is free and without obligation. Upon request, we will involve relatives, tax advisors or notaries from the outset, so that the solution is also sustainable within the family in Stein.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Stein 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 Stein. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Hospitality properties in Stein 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 Stein — 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 Stein , and accompany you until the notary or lease agreement appointment.

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.
A plot of land sells based on what can be built on it. We determine the realistic building rights and approach property developers and private buyers in parallel.
Office, practice, warehouse, hotel, or gastronomy — discreet marketing with a sound valuation and personal support until completion.

Detached houses, semi-detached houses, or terraced houses appeal to different target groups — we ensure the appropriate presentation and solvent tenants.
We calculate how much a registered right of residence (Wohnrecht) reduces the purchase price — and whether property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) is worthwhile for you compared to a traditional sale.
Comparative value, intrinsic value (Sachwert) or income approach (Ertragswert): We select the appropriate method for the property and disclose the derivation, instead of just stating a number.
