The notorious queues outside Zurich apartment viewings are finally shrinking
A new study by Zurich Cantonal Bank says more construction and lower immigration have pushed the city's vacancy rate up slightly, from 0.48% to 0.52%.
Around 8,500 new flats are expected by year-end, with another 9,000 due in 2027.
New rents won't rise as sharply as before, yet they are unlikely to drop either — and existing tenants could face rises of around 3% if mortgage reference rates climb at the end of this year.
