Below you will find a clear presentation of current purchase prices, rents, and land values in Zurich. The data is based on publicly available statistics and valuation committee analyses — as a basis for decision-making for owners, buyers, and investors.
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 Zurich. 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 Zurich.

In Zurich, supply is limited. Those who buy here often choose a property for long-term personal use rather than as a short-term investment. Capital investors in Zurich should assess the potential for re-letting. In small municipalities, the pool of tenants is limited, but tenancies are often long-term. The Bezirk Zürich generally serves as the comparative area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Zurich. For reasons of transparency, we do not provide price per m² figures for Zurich as long as there is no reliable data basis.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Zurich — concisely answered.
For owners in Zurich 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 Zurich 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 Zurich, 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 Zurich 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 Zurich. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Hospitality properties in Zurich 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 Zurich — 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 Zurich , and accompany you until the notary or lease agreement appointment.

Visit websiteAre you looking for a real estate agent not directly in Zurich, but in the surrounding area? FREITAG® also serves the following municipalities in Zurich with local market knowledge, current purchase prices, and personal advice:
Zurich 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:
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.
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.
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.
For houses, tenant quality matters more than the final price point. We select tenants who will look after the property long-term.
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.
Understandable valuation as a basis for sale or letting — carried out by certified experts with regional market knowledge.
Contact us — we will advise you without obligation on valuation, marketing, and next steps.

According to a report, the City of Zurich invested around 1.3 billion francs in properties from 2022 to 2025. The article describes how these purchases are part of a broader urban strategy in the real estate market and refers to numerous properties with a direct link to the housing target.
