The Zurich residential market continues to be highly sought-after – although many apartment seekers may have expanded their geographical search radius in 2021. The high demand for living space is reflected in the extremely low vacancy rate of 0.17 % and in the development of rental and purchase prices. Rental prices rose or remained stable in the city’s 12 districts in 2021, despite a slightly longer advertising duration. A similar picture can be seen with purchase prices, which were already high and trended upwards again throughout nearly the entire city. Small apartments in Zurich should continue to have good marketing prospects, as the city remains an attractive place to live, particularly for young singles and couples. However, the search subscriptions for the city of Zurich also show an increasing excess demand for large apartments.
