Why Invest or Stay Invested in Swiss Real Estate in 2025 and Prepare for 2026
9 octobre 2025
A market recovering despite uncertainties
We believe that the Swiss real estate market in 2025 is showing clear signs of stabilization after several years of rising interest rates and cautious buyer behavior. Mortgage rates remain attractive, supporting demand for quality housing in both urban and suburban areas. The limited supply in attractive locations helps maintain property values and market momentum.
We believe that prices for residential properties and condominiums have risen moderately, while investment properties continue to attract investor interest. Looking ahead to 2026, we anticipate continued appreciation in urban and suburban areas, especially for high-quality and sustainable housing.
The imputed rental value reform: a strategic factor
We believe that the gradual abolition of the imputed rental value for owner-occupied homes will be a major change for the market. Until the reform is fully implemented, the imputed rental value remains taxable, offering certain deductions for mortgage interest and maintenance costs. This reform encourages owners to plan their investments carefully and anticipate adjustments for 2026.
Adapted investment strategies
To take advantage of the 2025 context and prepare for 2026, we believe it is advisable to:
* Select properties in strategic locations close to services, high quality of life, and strong potential for value appreciation
* Invest in well-maintained, sustainable properties capable of delivering stable returns and long-term capital growth
* Diversify the portfolio between residential, mixed-use, and commercial assets according to risk profile
* Anticipate the fiscal impact of the imputed rental value abolition by optimizing financing and deductions before full reform implementation
