  • Rental prices in Switzerland rise slightly again

    Rental prices in Switzerland rise slightly again

    The monthly rental index compiled by the digital property marketplace Homegate in collaboration with Zürcher Kantonalbank closed at 128.1 points in November. Compared to the previous month, the index rose by 0.3 per cent, Homegate reported in a press release. This means that “the brief decline in October has levelled out again and the advertised rental prices are once again at the level of September 2024”. A year-on-year increase in advertised rents of 3.1 per cent was observed across Switzerland.

    Within the cantons, Homegate’s experts only identified major changes compared to September in individual cases. The canton of Graubünden stands out the most with a 4.4 per cent decline in asking rents. However, “such outliers” are mostly short-term changes, according to the press release. Only the canton of Nidewalden reported an increase in rents of more than 2 per cent month-on-month at 2.1 per cent.

    The experts attest that the eight Swiss cities included in the index are returning “to the expected normality”. They attribute this primarily to the 1.6 per cent growth in asking rents in Zurich and Lausanne. The other six cities analysed showed only marginal changes compared to September. In a year-on-year comparison, however, significant growth was observed in all eight cities. This was strongest in the city of Lucerne at 7 per cent.

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

  • Rental prices rose slightly by 0.26 percent in February

    Rental prices rose slightly by 0.26 percent in February

    The rental index of the online real estate marketplace homegate.ch in cooperation with the Zürcher Kantonalbank rose again in February. According to a press release , rental prices rose slightly by 0.26 percent. The index was thus slightly higher than in the previous month at 117 points.

    Rental prices have risen in almost all cantons and cities, above all in the canton of Graubünden by 2.15 percent. There was a drop in rents there in January, which has now been offset by the increase in February. In addition to Graubünden, Appenzell, Glarus, Schwyz and Valais also recorded an increase of more than 1 percent in February.

    With the exception of Bern and St.Gallen, rents rose in all cities in February, with the strongest increases in Lausanne at 1.7 percent and Lugano at 1.41 percent. In the respective cantons of Vaud and Ticino, on the other hand, prices rose less sharply or even fell.

    Rents in the canton of Zug have fallen by 0.56 percent. Rents rose significantly here in January. “A comparison of the cantons shows that, in addition to the majority of increases in rents, there have also been fluctuations over the last few months,” says the press release.
