Overall, year-on-year, the increase was only 1.2%. But there were comparatively large regional differences in prices for condominiums in the mid-market segment.
According to FPRE, prices rose the most around Zurich (+1.1%) and Geneva (+1.0%).

According to this survey, the actual transaction prices paid on the market for residential property rose by 1.1% in the second quarter and by 4.5% year-on-year.
