Over 15 years of experience in Munich, Bavaria & the surrounding area. Commission the best real estate agents for your property in Zurich.
Anyone selling or letting a property in Zurich doesn't need advertising promises, but a realistic assessment. We tell you what your property will fetch on the market, which documents are missing, and what marketing duration to expect — before you decide to work with us.
A significant proportion of properties in Zurich change owners before an advertisement is placed. Those with a registered search profile are on the list the moment an owner commissions us. You describe once what you are looking for — location, size, budget, condition — and you will only hear from us when it truly matches.

Market data for Zurich 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 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. Owners benefit when documentation is complete. Missing plans or unclear easements prolong every negotiation. The district of Bezirk Zürich generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Zurich. For reasons of transparency, we do not state price per m² 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.
Entrepreneurs in Zurich 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 Zurich 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 Zurich is suitable for a Sale & Lease-Back and obtain transparent offers — without obligation and without hidden costs.
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.
Managing Director of FREITAG® Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH
Gerhard Hahn has been appraising and brokering real estate in Bavaria and Southern Germany for more than three decades. His focus is on properties that are not publicly advertised, and on constellations where multiple owners need to find a common solution.
A reliable valuation in Zurich requires genuine comparative data and a feel for micro-location — Gerhard Hahn has internalised both after 30+ years of market proximity in Bavaria and Zurich. Personal appointments in Zurich are an integral part of every mandate for Gerhard Hahn — no remote diagnosis, no templates.

Are 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:
Plot layout, building fabric, maintenance backlog, and neighbourhood determine the price. We objectively assess these points and align the marketing accordingly.
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.
Valuation based on the income approach (Ertragswert), review of rental agreements, and targeted approach to portfolio holders and family offices — without public advertising.
Professional market placement, well-considered tenant selection, and legally sound documents for a smooth letting of your flat.
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.
Contact us — we will advise you without obligation on valuation, marketing, and next steps.
