An index, not a price in francs
This index shows how the prices actually paid are moving, adjusted for differences in size, location and quality. It does not give a purchase price in francs. There is no official statistic of an average sale price per canton or for Switzerland; such figures come only from commercial providers and are deliberately not used here. That is also why there is no canton ranking.
