• In St. Gallen city, the average price per square meter for real estate is around CHF 7,658–8,730/m² as of early 2026, with apartments generally slightly cheaper than houses. Prices have grown moderately year-on-year.

• Over the past decade, property prices in the broader Canton of St. Gallen have increased significantly over the long term (decades), though recent annual increases are more moderate.

• Compared with major Swiss cities, St. Gallen is considered relatively affordable for housing — for example, average rents are among the lowest of the 10 largest Swiss cities, and demand for apartments in the city isn’t as extreme as in Zurich or Geneva.

Market dynamics in recent years:

• Price increases in the local region have continued but have eased compared with the steep rises seen in other Swiss markets. In some segments, new residential supply remains limited, which supports ongoing demand.

• Some real-estate data sources suggest that overall prices in the wider canton have experienced slight decreases or fluctuations over the past year, indicating a cooling phase in parts of the market outside the core city.

Buying a home in Switzerland can be a profitable investment, given the ever-growing rental market. Sixty percent of residents do not own a home; and those who do buy often opt for rural buildings, which are lower in cost.
