There are not enough listings for a twelve-month value. From October 2025 to September 2026, only 27 single-family homes were listed in Burgdorf. Comparis shows a median only from 30 listings. Over two years, the total came to 65 houses. Their median asking price was CHF 6,286 per m². For a house, the plot, location and condition carry particular weight.

For apartments, partly. For houses, no. In Kirchberg, apartments cost 8 percent less than in Burgdorf. Hasle bei Burgdorf is only 4 percent lower and counts as about the same. Houses in Kirchberg are 10 percent more expensive than in Burgdorf. In Krauchthal, they are 6 percent more expensive. For the other six municipalities, there are too few listings. The comparison uses listings from two years.

On September 30, 2026, comparis.ch listed 19 apartments and ten houses in Burgdorf. For the twelve months before, Comparis analyzed 80 apartment and 27 house listings. Over two years, the total was 152 apartments. So there are rather few direct comparables for a valuation.

The first step is the online estimate from Comparis. You enter the address, living space, year of construction and features. Once you confirm your e-mail address, you receive the estimate.

For a fair market price, property experts from the Comparis partner network inspect your property. This costs you nothing and puts you under no obligation.

On site, they assess the building fabric, interior finishes, building services and energy. The land register extract is issued by the Emmental-Oberaargau land registry office (Grundbuchamt Emmental-Oberaargau). For heritage-listed buildings, they check the status with the heritage preservation authority of the canton of Bern.

Depending on the property, they use the comparison value, the real value or the income value.

You pay nothing. The form for the online estimate takes around three minutes to complete. You receive the estimate once you have confirmed your e-mail address.

The on-site valuation is also free and without obligation. It is carried out by property experts from the Comparis partner network, arranged through the Comparis broker service.

An accurate value pays off. An apartment in Burgdorf is listed at a median of CHF 622,500. A difference of just 1 percent equals around CHF 6,200.

• Old town: The upper and lower old town are recorded in the Federal Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites (ISOS). Heritage-listed buildings are subject to conditions set by the cantonal heritage preservation authority. This can restrict renovation plans and affect the pool of buyers.

• Building type: Gyrischachen has many large apartment buildings dating from 1967 onward. There, the year of construction and renovation status weigh heavily.

• Price level: Apartments in Burgdorf are listed 11 percent lower than in the canton of Bern.

• New builds: 22 of the 80 apartments on offer were new. Excluding new builds, the median is CHF 6,029 per m².

• Transport: Burgdorf has rail lines to Bern and into the Emmental. You reach the A1 motorway via the Kirchberg junction.

• Emme: For plots on the valley floor, the river corridor and the Emme hazard map matter.

• Interest rates: The level of interest rates helps determine what price buyers can finance.

The form takes around three minutes. Comparis sends you the estimate by e-mail as soon as you have confirmed your address.

You arrange the on-site appointment directly with the experts. How long the checks take depends on the property. A heritage-listed house in the upper old town may take longer than a newer apartment.

One recognized qualification is the Federal Diploma of Higher Education for real estate appraisers. Many experts belong to the SIV (Schweizer Immobilienschätzer-Verband). Others belong to the SVIT chamber of valuation experts (Bewertungsexperten-Kammer SVIT).

In the Burgdorf area, experience with old town houses and the surrounding region counts. Prices vary even between neighboring municipalities. Houses in Kirchberg are listed 10 percent higher than in Burgdorf.

A valuation shows you which asking price is realistic in Burgdorf. It also provides a fair basis in an inheritance division or a divorce.

In the canton of Bern, the official value (amtlicher Wert) is used for wealth tax. It is set conservatively and is not a sale price.

On a profit, the canton and the municipality levy property gains tax (Grundstückgewinnsteuer). After five years of ownership, the taxable gain decreases by 2 percent per year. The reduction is capped at 70 percent.

Are you selling your owner-occupied home and buying a new one in Switzerland? Then the tax is deferred, but not waived.

For an inherited property, the official value at the time of inheritance can count as the purchase price.
