Particularly high vacancy rate in the upper Aargau. It is in accordance with the latest Immo-Monitoring of the consulting company Wüest Partner at 8.9 percent. Still further, the construction of rental housing is approved. This development is also to be seen in the regions of Jura, Burgdorf, Biel, or the linth region to. There, the urban sprawl continues to grow.

What the boom does, shows the example of the Canton of Aargau: New Developments such as Neugrüen in Mellingen or Esterli-Flöösch in Stauffen were years of half empty. The reason is that In the Aargau, the vacancy rate is at 2.59 per cent, the nationwide average is 1.66.

the Problem of increasing vacancy rates adds to the pressure on Rents. In several regions you have dropped already. The real estate experts Wüest partners predict further decline in Rents for the coming year. Also, anyone who has an existing lease, might benefit: It is assumed that the reference interest rate today is 1.5 percent, declining to 1.25 percent – which would result in a reduction in claim of 2.91 percent.
