Selling real estate in Zurich with Engel & Völkers

As a cosmopolitan metropolis in the heart of Europe, Zurich is a much sought-after location for both living and working. If you are the owner of a high-quality property in one of the sought-after residential locations in the area and would like to sell it at the best possible price, your chances of success are very good. No matter if you own a residential property or an investment property: our real estate agents at Engel & Völkers will accompany you throughout the entire sales process with all their expertise and comprehensive real estate know-how to ensure your success. Continue reading this page to find out why selling real estate in Zurich is a very promising venture.

If you are planning to put your residential property in Zurich up for sale, you will benefit from advantageous conditions to help you realise your plans promptly and successfully. In particular, the strong demand for real estate as well as the limited supply of well-maintained and well-kept properties in the greater Zurich area is a boon for real estate sales.

There are many different reasons why owners want to sell their family home, villa or flat. For many of our clients, advancing age (generation 50plus) is a reason for selling their property, while for others the departure of their children, a separation from their partner or a career change are valid reasons for selling their own house or flat in Zurich. On the other hand, young couples, for example, are planning to start their own families and therefore need more space. Accordingly, after selling their property, owners may want to settle down in a smaller or even larger property that suits their changed living situation and their new living requirements. 

High sales prices as well as fast turnaround times make property sales an attractive option for many owners. Due to the current high demand for real estate, now is a good time to lock in profits and reinvest them, whether in a replacement property or, for example, in indirect real estate funds. This is because a trend reversal in Switzerland’s interest rate environment is also foreseeable, which will almost certainly have a dampening effect on real estate prices.

As you can see, there are many reasons in favour of enlisting the expert services of a real estate agency like Engel & Völkers to help you successfully sell your property in the greater Zurich area.

Among other things, we handle and support the marketing of 

- One family houses

- Semi-detached houses

- Villas

- Flats

- Penthouses

- New build properties

and many other types of real estate in the premium segment.

Regardless of whether you own an apartment building, a residential and commercial building or a purely commercial property in Zurich, selling an investment property in the greater Zurich area is the best decision, depending on the client’s individual situation. 

Compelling arguments speak in favour of selling your property. In addition to a monetary realisation of capital gains or a strategic realignment for institutional or private investors, a sale can also make sense for various other reasons. For a community of heirs, for example, a sale can serve to divide up the estate, to fulfil a lifelong dream or perhaps to start shifting down a gear, particularly when the administrative work and maintenance slowly start becoming a burden. 

According to real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers Region Zurich, property prices are currently at elevated levels as a consequence of consistently strong demand. The demand overhang, a result of the low interest rate policy in recent years, is a decisive factor for the upsurge in prices. Take this opportunity and benefit from the many years of experience of our real estate agents, who will support you in the sale of investment properties, which include, for example:

• Apartment buildings
• Residential and commercial buildings
• Commercial properties
