Estate agent in Hausen am Albis: house, farm or building land

Selling in Hausen am Albis

Three kinds of property come onto the market in Hausen:

• The detached house in the village or in Ebertswil. 741 of the 1,095 residential buildings are detached houses, a good two thirds. There are schools in both villages.
• The farmhouse in a hamlet. In Türlen, Vollenweid, Husertal or the hamlets on the Albis, we first clarify whether the rural land law applies and whether the residential part and the land may be sold separately.
• Building land. In 2025 three plots of residential building land changed hands. Here zone, servicing (access and utilities) and the building regulations decide the price.

How Rudat AG sells in Hausen am Albis

First the files, then the figure. For a house with grounds or a farm, we obtain the land register extract (Grundbuchauszug), the cadastral plan and the zoning designation before the price is discussed. Then Conrad Rudat calculates with the IAZI/CIFI models and sets out the property gains tax (Grundstückgewinnsteuer) openly (request a valuation). You can work out a first figure yourself with the property gains tax calculator for the canton of Zurich. Drone footage shows the plot and the distant view, a 360° tour (in German) the interior.

Evidence from the district. In Wettswil am Albis we found new investors for building land within half a day (12 hours); the plot is sold. Also there, we are marketing «On Top of Wettswil», a panoramic residence of 252 m² (in German). On Google we hold 5.0 stars from 26 reviews.
