Central Switzerland and Zurich are particularly affected: sharp increase in rents and the situation is getting worse

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Consolidation in the Swiss real estate market continues at a high level, according to a statement from SMG Swiss Marketplace and Immoscout on Wednesday. Prices of both detached houses (-0.1%) and apartments (-0.2%) decreased minimally in September. This is shown by the Swiss Real Estate Offer Index, collected by SMG in collaboration with the real estate consultancy IAZI.

The situation is different with rents. Advertised rents rose sharply again in September. This more than offset the slight decrease from the previous month. SMG/Immoscout writes that anyone looking for a rental right now should expect prices to be 1.0 percent higher.

Central Switzerland and the greater Zurich area

The increase throughout the year is even higher at +3.6 percent. Values ​​increased most in central Switzerland (+3.4%) and the greater Zurich area (+2.9%). In the Central Plateau (+0.5%) the increase was slightly below average, while no change was noticed in the Lake Geneva region. In contrast, decreases can be observed in eastern Switzerland (-0.2%), northwestern Switzerland (-0.8%) and Ticino (-1.1%).

Considering the increasing demand, increasing rental reference rate and limited housing supply, there is a high probability that rents will increase in the next few months.
