Wüest Partner: Housing Demand Remains High in Major Swiss Cantons
What happened
Wüest Partner reported that housing demand remains high across Swiss cantons. The analysis noted that while residents are moving from major urban centers like Zurich, Geneva, and Basel to cheaper neighboring cantons, newly arriving foreign residents are compensating for this population loss.
