Under 1 percent: There are increasingly fewer empty apartments in Switzerland
The Federal Statistical Office recorded the sixth consecutive decline. However, the development is not the same in all cantons. Zurich is particularly surprising.
The Swiss Federal Statistical Office has reported the sixth consecutive decline in vacant housing, with the vacancy rate decreasing from 1% to 0.93% over the past year. However, the trend varies across cantons, with Zurich surprisingly experiencing a slight increase in vacant housing. The country's housing shortage is becoming more widespread, with economic hubs like Zug and Geneva having the lowest vacancy rates, while economically weaker cantons like Jura have more vacant housing.
The situation is expected to remain challenging, with many areas experiencing a shortage of available housing.
