Estate agent in Wollerau: selling your house or villa

What do buyers ask first about a house in Wollerau?

On just 6.5 km², Wollerau rises from the shore of Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) at 406 m above sea level to the ridge of the Höhronen at 1,062 m. The elevation at which a house stands and the direction its windows face often determine the value here more than the living area does.

We answer three buyer questions before the first viewing:

• Will the view remain? Anyone looking out over the lake wants to know what may be built on the plots below. The zoning plan, building lines and easements therefore belong in the documents.
• What work is due in the coming years? 654 of Wollerau's 1,513 residential buildings were built between 1981 and 2000 (2025). Heating, windows and flat roofs are often an issue there; a list with the year and amount of every renewal takes the guesswork out of the buyer's hands.
• How far is it to the motorway? The Wollerau junction on the A3 lies within the municipality. For houses within earshot, the noise situation belongs openly in the description.

It begins with a valuation of your property.

How much competition do sellers face in Wollerau in 2026?

At the end of 2025, Wollerau counted 7,505 residents, 7.4% more than in 2015 (6,986). The detached house (Einfamilienhaus) shapes the townscape: 852 of the 1,513 residential buildings belong to this category, a good 56%. The majority of the 3,658 dwellings are nevertheless in apartment buildings (Mehrfamilienhäuser).

The housing market here has not dried up. On 1 June 2026, 59 dwellings were vacant, a vacancy rate (Leerwohnungsziffer) of 1.61%; the Canton of Schwyz stood at 0.50%. The figures fluctuate: in 2021, 149 dwellings were vacant (4.18%), in 2023 only 22 (0.61%). Anyone selling a flat competes with new offerings; condition, renewal fund and a comprehensible price decide.

91.7% of the dwellings are primary residences (2025). We have not found officially published sale prices for Wollerau; we therefore derive the price for each property individually.

What makes Wollerau special

Wollerau forms the Höfe district (Bezirk Höfe) together with Freienbach and Feusisberg. The municipality comprises the village centre, quarters such as Roos, Hermannsweid and Sihlegg, and hamlets towards the Höhronen, such as Allenwinden and Sennrüti. In the Canton of Zurich, Richterswil and Wädenswil (Hütten) border it.

According to the municipality, Zurich is around 20 minutes away by car via the A3. By rail and bus: the S40 runs from Wollerau station to Pfäffikon SZ in 7 to 9 minutes, and with a change there you reach Zurich main station in 38 minutes. Alternatively, bus 175 from the Dorfplatz reaches Richterswil in 10 minutes, then the S2, which also serves the airport directly. To Zug, the train takes around 55 minutes, with two changes.

The following tax multipliers (Steuerfuss) apply in 2026 (percentage of the simple tax): municipality of Wollerau 50, Höfe district 14, canton 110, together 174% without church tax. With church tax it is 182%, and 180% in the area of the Catholic parish of Schindellegi. In 2019 the figure without church tax was 240%, in 2025 still 184%.
