A Balancing Act: 25 Years of Record-low Vacancy Rate

As highlighted in a recent article by Zuger Zeitung, the housing market in Zug has been under pressure for over 25 years.

Despite a steady stream of new construction projects, the vacancy rate has remained remarkably low at just 0.4%, or around 250 vacant homes in the past year. This is a strong indicator of housing scarcity, as a rate below 1% is generally considered a sign of a crisis.

Rental prices in Zug are also significantly higher than the national average, with an 80 m² apartment costing around CHF 1,700, compared to the Swiss average of CHF 1,400.

Political Challenges

Efforts to address the issue, such as the SP's initiative "2000 Affordable Homes for Zug's Middle Class," have met mixed results. While the initiative promises more affordable housing, it has also delayed critical development projects in areas like Metalli and Herti Süd, further complicating the housing market in Zug.
