Selling an apartment is not an everyday act
Selling a condominium is not an everyday act. There is a lot to consider here. The real estate market is a highly specialized niche in which the highest level of professionalism and expertise pays off directly in the form of good sales proceeds. When we decided to sell our condominium, it was therefore clear to us that the first thing we had to do was to find professional support for this transaction. With Properti AG, we have found the support we were looking for. Elena Dumrauf impressed us during her first visit to our apartment. She argued convincingly and her entire appearance radiated friendly competence.

FAQs - the most important questions about real estate valuation
How is the real estate gains tax calculated?
The property gains tax is based on the realized property gain, which is the difference between the original purchase price and the current sales price. In addition, the period of ownership of the property is included in the calculation and the calculated profit is subject to a corresponding tax rate.
How does the length of ownership affect property gains tax?
The duration of property ownership has a direct influence on the amount of property gains tax. As a general rule, the longer the property has been in the seller’s possession, the lower the tax. However, some cantons levy a tax surcharge for ownership periods of less than 5 years in order to prevent speculation. The discounted cash flow method (DCF) quantifies the expected income from investment properties and calculates their present value using the discount rate. The hedonic method is used for owner-occupied properties and compares property and location-specific characteristics with transactions from the past.”
Which costs are deductible from property gains tax?
Sales costs, such as estate agent, notary and advertising costs, as well as costs for value-enhancing investments can be deducted from the property gains tax.
How does the principle of replacement procurement work?
By purchasing a replacement property within a reasonable period of time – usually 1 to 5 years, depending on the canton – the property gains tax can be waived. It is important that both the newly acquired property and the sold property are the seller’s place of residence. This regulation also applies to properties used for agricultural purposes.
How is the tax rate determined?
The tax rate varies depending on the location of the property and how long it has been owned. The tax is due in the municipality or canton in which the property is located, and the calculation of the tax rate differs from canton to canton.
Who is obliged to pay property gains tax?
As a rule, the tax is paid by the seller of the property, regardless of whether it is a private individual or a legal entity. However, there are agreements in which the tax is split between the buyer and seller.
When does the real estate gains tax not apply?
Property gains tax can be deferred in the event of death or the purchase of a replacement property in the same canton. If the seller reinvests the profit in a similar property within a reasonable period of time, the tax on the property sold is waived. Almost every canton offers exemptions for natural persons.
What is the difference between the dualistic and monistic system?
Depending on the canton, two different systems are used for property gains tax: In the monistic system, the tax is levied on profits from business properties (cantons BE, BL, BS, JU, NW, SZ, TI, UR, ZH). In the dualistic system, profits from commercial properties sold are subject to income or profit tax. This may vary from canton to canton.
