The Swiss real estate market is experiencing renewed momentum, driven by high net migration and a robust economy, leading to increased demand for yield properties. Institutional investors are returning as low interest rates and rising rental income enhance return expectations, despite challenges in new housing development due to high land prices and regulations. In mountain regions, housing shortages are acute, with second home prices soaring, exacerbating the plight of locals and seasonal workers.
Residential property prices in Obwalden are rising, with single-family homes increasing by 2.5% and condominiums by 3.1% over the past six months, both surpassing national averages. Engelberg and Sarnen lead in pricing, with typical homes costing around CHF 1.9 million and CHF 1.7 million, respectively, while Lungern offers more affordable options at just under CHF 1.1 million. The demand for home ownership remains strong despite these price hikes, driven by limited supply and low vacancy rates.
The Zurich cantonal council has approved a tax cut proposal aimed at addressing "warm progression," a term introduced to describe tax increases due to wage growth rather than inflation. The left-wing parties have announced a referendum against the motion, citing concerns over significant tax losses estimated at nearly CHF 500 million annually. The proposal, backed by the conservative majority, has sparked heated debate over its implications for tax equity and state revenue.
