In comparison with May, the index increased by 0.3 points in June and is now at 130.8 points. Compared to the previous year, the rents offered throughout Switzerland have increased by 1.8%, informs Homegate in a press release.
The cantons where the rent increases were the most substantial were Schwytz (+3.7%) and Lucerne (+2.2%). The rents, on the other hand, fell in the Appenzell (-0.9%for the Appenzell cantons) as in Geneva (-0.5%), the canton of the end of the lake being the only one to display a negative evolution compared to the previous year (-0.6%), a trend that is emerging on “several months”.
Still in annual shift, central Switzerland displays the largest increase, except Obwald (+0.4%). Schwytzois rents thus climbed 8.4%, 7.4%nidwald, 5.8%Zug, 4.2%and lucerne of 4.1%.
In the cities, two different dynamics were noted in June: in Lucerne (+2.2%), Basel (+0.7%), Saint-Gall (+0.4%) and Lugano (+0.3%), the rents offered, while in Berne (-1.0%), Geneva (-0.9%), Zurich (-0.6%) and Lausanne (-0.2%) remote.
Like the cantons, with the exception of Geneva (-1.9%), the annual rent of rents offered in urban areas is nevertheless upwards, in particular in Lucerne (+5.0%) and Zurich (+3.5%). In Lucerne and Geneva, it is therefore the capitals that are responsible for evolution in their respective cantons.
The Homegate rent index is used by the Homegate.ch real estate platform in collaboration with the Cantonal Bank of Zurich (ZKB). It measures monthly variations in rents after correction of qualitative factors for newly put or rentals on the basis of current market offers.
