When an estimate makes sense and what options you have.

It’s the same as it’s always been: The Real Estate market in Switzerland lacks transparency, and only those who consistently handle real estate transactions can navigate the market with confidence. This is because sales transactions conducted by others are not publicly available. That’s why an accurate appraisal is absolutely essential when seriously considering a purchase, a sale, or value-enhancing investments. This helps you avoid setting a price that’s too high or too low —both of which should be avoided at all costs.

How do you feel about your property?

This is probably the most important question of all. Because if you are happy and content, look forward to coming home every evening and know exactly what renovations are coming up in the next few years and you can look forward to them with peace of mind, then you won’t have to worry about the value of your property. Just enjoy life and every moment.  

But if your life has changed in recent years—because the kids have moved out, the garden you once loved so much is becoming more and more of a burden, you don’t have the home office you suddenly need, or you’ve suddenly been commuting longer distances since changing jobs, which is getting you down— then it makes sense to start looking around. On the one hand, to assess the value of your own property; on the other, to explore new potential listings. In both cases, you’ve come to the right place. And so the first step will be an initial, broad estimate of the selling potential of your current property—something you can let mull over at your leisure.  

If you’re already a step ahead and the decision to change your living situation and lifestyle has been made, then do it right: Start with a detailed appraisal, which—if the results are favorable—will also serve as the starting point for your sales efforts.

Your valuation options with Ginesta

For anyone who would like to find out the value of their property without obligation, we have developed a free online property valuation tool that calculates a realistic “from-to” value by entering just a few details such as the location, living space, number of rooms and year of construction.

Since these values can vary considerably depending on the standard of construction, the condition of the property, past and upcoming renovations, and the micro-location, it is worthwhile to have our federally certified appraisal experts conduct a detailed appraisal as soon as possible if you are seriously considering a sale. This market-based property appraisal is a complex interplay of numerous factors, all of which influence the value.

As appraisers accredited by banks, courts, and bankruptcy offices, we have a thorough understanding of these factors, which allows us to establish a solid foundation for your decision to engage in sales or not to engage in sales. We also lay the groundwork for a promising sales strategy that will lead to the desired sale within a reasonable timeframe.
