In the fourth quarter, the IMPI stood at 120.2 points, up 1.8% compared with the July-September period and up 2.4% year-on-year, data released today showed.

Houses notched +0.5% and +1.4%, respectively, while apartments show changes of +2.9% and +3.2%. Higher prices are found in both market segments compared to the previous quarter, FSO specialists note.

The IMPI is a fairly new indicator: it is calculated from the third quarter of 2020 (with data going back as far as the second quarter of 2019) based on an average of 7,000 transactions recorded throughout Switzerland.
