Three economic areas, one canton - your sales strategy must reflect this
«Between the southern foot of the Jura and the Central Plateau, between Basel and Bern - the canton of Solothurn offers buyers affordable residential property in a central location. We know every district and know which buyer profiles tick differently in Dornach than in Olten or Oensingen.»
The canton of Solothurn extends over ten districts and is economically oriented towards three centers: Basel (Schwarzbubenland), Bern (upper part of the canton) and Aarau/Olten (lower part of the canton). This tripartite division makes the real estate market particularly diverse - and requires a marketing strategy that appeals to all three buyer pools.
At Immoanker, we don't sell your property on hope, but with a clear plan: data-based market analysis, high-quality staging and a proactive approach to buyers - in all ten districts of the canton of Solothurn.

Request checklistQuestions about selling real estate in the canton of Solothurn
What does it cost to sell a property in the canton of Solothurn?
The cost of selling a property in the canton of Solothurn is made up of several components. The estate agent's commission is usually between 2 and 3 percent of the sales price. In the canton of Solothurn, a transfer tax of 2.2 percent of the purchase price is levied - this is borne by the buyer and has been completely waived for owner-occupied properties (since 2011). A reduced rate of 1.1 percent applies to purchases between spouses or by descendants. Sellers are subject to property gains tax, which is levied on the profit made and decreases depending on the holding period. There are also notary fees and, if applicable, the deletion of existing mortgages. Immoanker advises you transparently on all costs incurred - before you decide to sell.
How long does it take to sell a property in the canton of Solothurn?
The sales period depends on the location, property type and pricing strategy. In sought-after locations in Solothurn - such as Dornach, the city of Solothurn or Olten - a property can be sold within a few weeks. In more rural districts such as Thal or Bucheggberg, it can take 2 to 4 months. On average, our clients achieve a successful sale in 18 days. The right pricing strategy from the outset is crucial: Properties that are priced too high remain on the market for much longer and lose their appeal. A well-founded property valuation forms the basis for the optimum sales price.
Is now a good time to sell in the canton of Solothurn?
The Solothurn real estate market is stable and growing in 2025/26. Prices for single-family homes have risen by 4.8 percent in the last 12 months, which is above the national average of 1.2 percent. The market is being driven by a generational shift: Older owners are selling their single-family homes, while families and commuters from Basel, Bern and Aargau are increasingly looking in the canton of Solothurn. Lower mortgage interest rates and falling inflation are also supporting demand. A professional real estate valuation will give you clarity about the current market value and the best sales strategy.
Why use a real estate agent in Solothurn instead of selling privately?
A professional real estate agent in Solothurn offers three decisive advantages: firstly, realistic, market-based pricing that neither deters potential buyers nor wastes money. Secondly, strategic marketing with professional photography, video and a targeted approach to buyers in all three catchment areas (Basel, Bern, Aargau) - it has been proven that professionally marketed properties sell faster and at higher prices. And thirdly, the conduct of negotiations: experienced estate agents achieve on average 3 to 5 percent better results than private sellers. Local expertise is particularly important in the canton of Solothurn with its widely varying district prices.
What documents do I need to sell real estate in the canton of Solothurn?
To sell a property in the canton of Solothurn, you will generally need: the current extract from the land register, the official site plan, proof of building insurance, floor plans and, in the case of condominiums, the regulations and the most recent accounts of the condominium owners' association. Depending on the property, further documents may be required - such as an energy performance certificate (GEAK) or building permits. For properties in Schwarzbubenland (Dorneck and Thierstein districts), it is also advisable to clarify the tax jurisdiction, as this region is economically oriented towards Basel. Immoanker supports you in compiling all documents and checks that they are complete before marketing begins.
What makes Immoanker different from other real estate agents in Solothurn?
Immoanker combines local market knowledge with a marketing strategy that goes beyond the classic advertisement. Each property receives professional photography, true-to-scale floor plans, a 3D tour and targeted social media targeting. A decisive advantage in the canton of Solothurn: our three-region marketing appeals to buyers in all three catchment areas (Basel, Bern, Aargau) at the same time - while local estate agents often only serve a sub-market. With over 23 years of experience in the Swiss market, we know the special features of each Solothurn district. The result: on average 5 to 12 percent above the private sales price with a sales period of just 18 days.
