Why value your property before selling?
Knowing the real value of your property is the first and most important step of a successful sale in Switzerland. An accurate valuation allows you to:
- Set an attractive price that attracts buyers without giving your property away
- Avoid selling too low and losing tens of thousands of francs
- Negotiate from a position of strength with arguments based on real data
- Plan your tax strategy (property gains tax)

Our valuation is based on the comparative method, the most reliable for the Swiss market. We analyse:
- Recent transactions of similar properties in your canton
- The price per m² specific to your municipality
- The size, condition and amenities of your property
- Local market trends in 2026

You don't need any real estate experience: the process is simple, free and without obligation.

- 2. Add useful details: general condition, amenities (balcony, terrace, parking) and location.
- 3. Receive your price range: our analysis combines comparable transactions in your canton with local price-per-m² data.
- 4. Refine with an expert: within 24 hours, an advisor follows up to adjust the value to your property's specifics.
The factors that influence your property's value
Two properties of the same size can differ by several hundred thousand francs. Here is what weighs most:
Canton and location
The number one factor: the price per m² can more than double between the Lake Geneva region and a rural area in the Jura or Appenzell. Municipality, view, public transport links and local amenities make up the rest.
Property type and amenities
A balcony, terrace, lift or parking space can move the value by several percent. For a house, plot size and building potential matter greatly; an income property is mostly valued on its rental yield.
Condition of the property
A well-maintained property sells better than one needing renovation: the gap can reach 20 to 30% of the value, and more for major works (roof, heating, façade). Conversely, a recent high-quality renovation justifies a higher price.
The local market
Supply and demand differ from region to region: in major centres such as Zurich and Geneva, demand has outstripped supply for years, which supports prices and speeds up sales. Other regions show longer selling times and greater sensitivity to mortgage rates.

Common seller mistakes
Give yourself an edge and avoid these classic pitfalls:
- Anchoring on the purchase price: the market has moved on; only the current market value counts.
- Overstating usable floor area: basements, attics and balconies are not valued like living space.
- Ignoring exit costs: capital gains tax on property (which varies by canton and holding period), discharge of the mortgage, notary fees.
- Emotional pricing: sentimental value is not negotiable; the market sets the price.
- Neglecting presentation: light home staging can shorten the selling time by several weeks.
