Bern Home Prices Keep Rising Despite Increased Housing Supply, BEKB Says
  • Bern homeownership prices continued rising despite increased housing supply and slower population growth, according to analysis published Nov. 5, 2026.
  • Provisional 2025 figures showed roughly 3,200 homes completed, up 25%; net immigration from abroad fell about 30%.
  • Annual price growth reached 5.4% in Obersimmental-Saanen, the strongest regional increase; Bern-Mittelland recorded a below-average 2.9% gain.
  • The Swiss National Bank held its policy rate at 0% in September, keeping SARON-based money market mortgages relatively inexpensive.
  • Higher prices tightened equity and affordability constraints for buyers, contributing to softer home sales activity in Bern and across Switzerland.
