With vacancy rates below 1% and steady price growth of 2-4%, 2026 offers stability for investors—especially in Zurich and low-tax hubs.
Switzerland's population recently crossed the 9 million mark, leading to a sharp increase in demand for housing. This growth is largely driven by immigration and a robust economy.
As a result, cities and low-tax municipalities are facing significant pressure to accommodate this expanding population. For potential homebuyers, this means intensified competition in sought-after areas such as Schwyz, Nidwalden, and Zurich's Gold and Silver Coasts.
If you're looking to buy in these regions, starting your search early is essential. With increased demand comes fewer available properties, so having a clear plan and staying informed is crucial.
