Why the left bank of Lake Zurich is becoming increasingly desirable 

The once ridiculed “Pfnüselküste” has developed into one of the most sought-after residential regions in Switzerland. Low taxes, an impressive lake view and strong market movement make the left bank of Lake Zurich a real alternative to the Gold Coast. 

The “UBS Alpine Property Focus 2024″ report provides a detailed analysis of the vacation apartment markets in the Alpine region, with a particular focus on our Graubünden business area. Since the pandemic, demand for vacation apartments in the Alps has risen sharply, which has led to a significant increase in prices. In Graubünden, prices rose by an average of just under 6 percent, with Arosa recording the highest price increase of 18 percent. Here is the most important information on the market areas and regions in which we are active:

Switzerland needs new building land

As a daily and heavily involved observer of the Swiss real estate market, I consider it my duty to occasionally draw attention to shortcomings that are unfortunately homemade in the case of the lack of living space and permanently rising rental and purchase prices. Because if the construction of new buildings for the Swiss middle class is prevented by the left and right, they will fall by the wayside and foot the bill. The current beneficiaries are low-income earners, who are entitled to subsidized housing, and the very well-heeled, for whom the price plays a secondary role.

St. Moritz and the Engadin are and will remain expensive.

Stable high demand meets a dried-up market: real estate in the Engadin remains expensive, with St. Moritz occupying the top spot in the canton. This is unlikely to change any time soon.

Four new construction projects in Graubünden

Since the adoption of the second-home initiative, little new construction has taken place in the tourist regions of the canton of Graubünden. It is therefore particularly pleasing that we are able to come onto the market with four such new-build projects with mixed use as primary and secondary residences. With our expertise in new builds and our large database of potential buyers, we are the ideal partner for marketing these properties.
