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

Pricing in Thun works on an object-specific basis. Condition, plot, orientation and development explain more than any regional average. Anyone selling should plan the marketing duration realistically. In thin markets, patience is often more valuable than a quick price reduction. The Thun administrative district generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Thun. An individual assessment for a specific property in Thun is possible despite the thin data situation; it is carried out via comparative values and property inspections.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Thun — concisely answered.
Property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) in Thun 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 Thun. 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 Thun.
Entrepreneurs in Thun 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 Thun 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 Thun 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 Thun 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 Thun 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 Thun legally permissible under building law, we clarify before marketing.

Personal appointments in Thun are an integral part of every mandate for Gerhard Hahn — no remote diagnosis, no templates.

Visit websiteAre you looking for a real estate agent not directly in Thun, but in the surrounding area? FREITAG® also serves the following municipalities in Bern with local market knowledge, current purchase prices, and personal advice:

From measurements and the energy performance certificate to buyer selection: We fully prepare your house before it goes on the market — and conduct negotiations up to notarisation.
Whether rented or vacant: We assess which buyer group is realistic for your flat, and consistently align the exposé, price, and approach accordingly.
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.
Valuation based on the income approach (Ertragswert), review of rental agreements, and targeted approach to portfolio holders and family offices — without public advertising.

The right rental price determines whether a property stands vacant or has long-term tenants. We set it at a market-appropriate level and pre-filter interested parties, instead of holding mass 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.
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.
Contact us — we will advise you without obligation on valuation, marketing, and next steps.
