The world of exclusive living.

For the time being, Raiffeisen Switzerland does not see any falling prices in the market for owner-occupied housing, but expects price corrections in 2024. These are only postponed, by no means cancelled, the bank writes in its media release. According to Raiffeisen, a majority of Swiss tenants are threatened with another rent increase on 1 April 2024 and a third increase by the end of 2024 is already foreseeable.

More and more people are looking for proximity to urban living. Exclusive houses and flats in cities are increasingly in demand. Luxury Defined, the online magazine of Christies International Real Estate, spotlights a collection of townhouses in cities far and wide.

Inflation in Switzerland is finally easing. At 1.61 % on an annual basis, the inflation rate is below the SNB’s inflation target of 2 %. Summer brings consistency to the mortgage market; in July, mortgage rates and government bond yields were stable, as they had been in the previous month. For a long time, inflation figures rose more than expected, but now the trend seems to be turning around.
