Buying More Affordable Than Renting Again

Due to decreasing mortgage rates and rising rents, purchasing real estate is becoming more attractive again. According to a UBS study, the costs of acquiring property are falling, making buying cheaper than renting in some regions of Switzerland. This trend is particularly noticeable in cantons such as Vaud, Fribourg, and Valais. Those considering purchasing a property should seize this opportunity, as demand—and potentially prices—could rise again.

This shift could lead to a more dynamic real estate market, encouraging potential buyers who have been hesitant due to high costs. Additionally, the current financial climate presents a favorable scenario for first-time buyers and investors alike, potentially boosting the overall economy as more people invest in property. As the market adjusts, the benefits of owning over renting could become more pronounced, influencing long-term housing decisions across Switzerland.
