  • Asking rents are developing differently

    Asking rents are developing differently

    The rental index, which is collected monthly by the digital real estate marketplace Homegate in cooperation with the Zürcher Kantonalbank , closed in May at 117.6 points, Homegate informs in a press release . Compared to the previous month, advertised rents increased by an average of 0.2 percent across Switzerland. The analysts of the index have observed different developments within the individual cantons.

    Rents have remained relatively stable in most cantons. In the canton of Geneva, asking rents in May were 1 percent lower than in April. In the cantons of Zug, Graubünden, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden, on the other hand, the analysts identified significant increases of between 1.1 and 4.1 percent. However, they mainly attribute the jump of 4.1 percent in the canton of Zug to a decline in the previous month.

    In the eight cities examined in the index, the analysts identified an increase in asking rents of 0.7 percent in St.Gallen and a decrease of the same amount in Geneva and Lausanne. The two cities in western Switzerland are also the only ones where analysts have observed a drop in asking rents year-on-year.

    When recording rental price changes for the rental index, the rental prices are corrected for different quality, location and size of the apartments, explains Homegate. This makes it possible to record the actual rental price development.

    Homegate is a division of SMG Swiss Marketplace Group AG . This combines the digital marketplaces of TX Group , Ringier and Mobiliar .

  • Eastern Switzerland is to get new coworking spaces

    Eastern Switzerland is to get new coworking spaces

    Commuting to work not only loses time and quality of life, according to a media release from Regio Appenzell AR-St.Gallen-Bodensee . Local and cantonal added value also suffers. Therefore, Regio Appenzell AR-St.Gallen-Bodensee would like to establish three coworking spaces in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. VillageOffice has identified the greatest potential for the joint offices in Herisau, Teufen and Trogen in the canton and will now also support the project. It is also supported by the canton itself.

    “REGIO is committed to competitive and attractive framework conditions in the region. Central challenges include reducing the so-called brain drain and the shortage of skilled workers in Eastern Switzerland, "Leila Hauri, director of the Appenzell AR-St.Gallen-Bodensee region, is quoted in the message. According to her, the coworking spaces in rural areas should help to address these problems.

    In the next phase, the pilot operation is to be prepared and optimized for all three locations. "If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to start all three pilot operations within the next six months," says project manager Clarissa Zurwerra.
