Pensimo publishes study on the Swiss housing market
Pensimo Management AG is now publishing the book "The Swiss Housing Market". Written by Frank Bodmer of the University of Basel, the work is considered the first scientific study of the Swiss housing market.
Pensimo Management AG in Zurich, which specialises in real estate investments, is publishing the book “The Swiss Housing Market”, according to a statement on LinkedIn. Michel Schneider, deputy CEO and head of Mandates Switzerland & International, describes the publication as the first solid, economic “outline” of the Swiss housing market. The analysis of the history and present of housing construction and the housing market in Switzerland was written by Frank Bodmer, private lecturer at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Basel.
The 144-page brochure is published by Park Books in Zurich. It presents a great deal of statistical material in eleven chapters and with numerous diagrams. It traces lines of development and analyses the economic, social and regulatory framework conditions. “Now that the super cycle is over, the volume comes at the ‘right’ time,” says Schneider.
The real estate markets have been in the headlines internationally for many years. The current price level in Switzerland also raises fears of a new real estate crisis and restricts access to home ownership for large sections of the middle class, according to the content of the Bodmer study on the website of the publisher Park Books. It is true that the rental housing market has avoided the distortions of earlier growth phases. Nevertheless, political interventions could have a detrimental effect and endanger the supply of a growing population with high-quality housing.
The Zurich-based Pensimo Management AG invests in valuable real estate on behalf of four investment foundations, mainly in Switzerland but also abroad.
