Estate agent in Wohlen AG: selling your house or flat

What do buyers ask about an older house in Wohlen?

Anyone selling in Wohlen is often selling a building with a few decades of history. 3,138 of the 8,158 dwellings were built between 1946 and 1980, a further 1,203 before 1946 (as at the end of 2024). Heating, roof and windows therefore come up regularly at viewings.

We prepare three things before the listing appears:

• Renewals with year and amount. A complete list replaces the buyers' estimate with evidence and also holds up in the bank's review.
• Plans and permits. Conservatory, converted attic or additional flat: anything added later needs a permit in the files.
• The way to the station. Depending on the quarter, Wohlen station is within walking distance or a bus ride away. That belongs honestly in the description.

It starts with a valuation of your property.

How much competition will your property face in Wohlen?

Wohlen has grown faster than the canton over ten years: at the end of 2025, 18,181 people lived here, 17.0% more than at the end of 2015 (15,539); Aargau grew by 13.8% over the same period. The number of dwellings rose to 8,261 by the end of 2025.

The stock is shaped by apartment buildings. At the end of 2024 the municipality counted 2,215 detached houses (Einfamilienhäuser) and 753 apartment buildings (Mehrfamilienhäuser); 5,943 of the 8,158 dwellings were not in a detached house. Dwellings with 3 and 4 rooms are the most common (2,193 and 2,247). A house with its own garden is the rarer offering here, whereas a flat stands alongside many comparable ones.

On 1 June 2026, 91 dwellings were vacant, a vacancy rate (Leerwohnungsziffer) of 1.10% (canton 1.05%, Bremgarten district 0.80%). In 2024 it was 160 (1.99%), in 2025 still 121 (1.48%). Among the 91 vacant units, 36 had three rooms and 14 were detached houses. We have not found officially published sale prices for Wohlen; we therefore derive the price for each property individually.

What makes Wohlen special

With 1,248 ha and more than 18,000 residents, Wohlen is the largest municipality in the two Freiamt districts of Bremgarten and Muri; Bremgarten (8,906) and Muri (8,848) are not half its size. Anglikon has been a permanent part of it since 1914, with its own postcode 5611. Wohlen borders Villmergen, Dottikon, Hägglingen, Büttikon, Niederwil, Fischbach-Göslikon, Waltenschwil and Bremgarten.

Straw shaped the town. In 1900, 31 of the more than 100 Aargau straw firms had their headquarters in Wohlen, with branches in Paris, London and New York. In the Villa Isler, built by a straw manufacturer in the 1860s, the Schweizer Strohmuseum today presents this era.

Wohlen is also a railway hub. Lenzburg is 8 to 11 minutes away, Aarau 20 to 21 minutes directly by S26, Zurich main station 39 minutes directly by S42 or 35 minutes with a change at Lenzburg, Zug 40 minutes with a change at Rotkreuz.

The municipal tax multiplier (Steuerfuss) stands at 116% in 2026, the cantonal tax multiplier at 103%. Neither affects the property gains tax (Grundstückgewinnsteuer), as no surcharges are levied on it (§ 2 para. 4 StG AG).

What does Rudat AG take on when you sell in Wohlen?

From Baar, Rudat AG looks after owners throughout the Canton of Aargau (in German), above all in the Freiamt and the Seetal. Conrad Rudat conducts every mandate himself.

• A price you can check. IAZI/CIFI provides the basis; we check year of construction, condition, layout and location on site and present the derivation in writing.
• The tax before the start. We calculate the property gains tax in advance, with more than ten years of ownership using the statutory flat rate for the investment costs.
• A presentation with depth. Professional photos, drone images, a 360° virtual tour (in German) and our own sales documentation.

From the region: in Fahrwangen in the Seetal we sold a new-build penthouse flat, reserved after 9 weeks; in the same village we are marketing the new-build project ‘Living the Dream’ (in German) on Stickiweg with 8 flats. In the Freiamt, a new-build two-family house in Muri with Matterport tour and a fully let investment property in Aristau with 3 residential units are for sale with us. On Google we hold 5.0 stars from 26 reviews.
