Asking rents fluctuate at the start of the year
Die Angebotsmieten haben im Januar schweizweit durchschnittlich um 0,3 Prozent zugelegt. Innerhalb der Kantone gibt es jedoch grosse Schwankungen. Sie reichen von einem Plus von 3,7 Prozent bis zu einem Rückgang um 2,6 Prozent. Dies zeigt der aktuelle Homegate-Mietindex.
The monthly rental index compiled by the digital property marketplace Homegate in collaboration with Zürcher Kantonalbank closed at 125.6 points in January. Compared to the previous month, the index rose by 0.3 per cent overall, Homegate reported in a press release. A year-on-year increase of 1.9 per cent was observed across Switzerland.
In a year-on-year comparison, rents rose in all cantons, Homegate reports. However, the property marketplace’s experts observed major fluctuations on a monthly basis. Rents in Nidwalden, for example, rose the most at 3.7 per cent. High increases of 2.6 and 2.5 per cent were also recorded in the canton of Valais and the combined cantons of Appenzell. At the other end of the scale are the cantons of Schwyz and Glarus, where asking rents fell by 2.6 and 1.7 per cent respectively. In the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Zurich, asking rents fell by 0.4 per cent month-on-month.
The eight Swiss cities included in the index also showed different trends month-on-month. For example, rents in Lausanne and Lugano fell by 2.1 and 0.8 per cent respectively compared to December 2023. At the same time, asking rents in Zurich and Bern increased by 0.5 per cent each. Rents rose in all eight cities compared to the previous year. At 11.5 per cent, this increase was strongest in the city of Zurich.
