Fewer houses for rent in Switzerland over the past six months

Rent house's market is down slightly: in the winter semester from October to March, the Swiss web platforms have been proposed 123.563 apartments,  – 6% compared to the previous six months.

Further evidence of the market cooling is the increase in the average period during which an advertisement is active, increased from 27 to 29 days. The index shows that research is mostly aimed at local apartments of 1-2 and a high rent increases are the days when the post is online. This was revealed by the OWI index published by the Svit, the Swiss economy estate association. Only two of the twelve cities under consideration – Neuchâtel and St. Gallen – showed a contraction of the times when ads are on the sites. The biggest rises were seen in Sion, Chur and Lugano.

By far, the most quickly are those of Lausanne (15 days), Berne (16) and Zurich (18), the longest in St. Gallen (33) and Lugano (43): according Svit in these cities you can talk an oversupply.
