Average rents for what exactly and what size?

I did notice, though, that Zug is last alphabetically but top of the list price-wise.

here is most of the remainder of the article Ritchie :

But a straight canton by canton comparison is obviously not that useful, as what you actually get for your 'average rent' is going to be very different depending on what part of Switzerland you live in.

However, figures from the Swiss Real Estate Offer Index and property portal Immoscout 24 provide more detail in terms of an 'apples with apples' comparison.

These figures show the average rental price for 100m2 apartments across Switzerland last year – although only at the level of ‘large regions’.

They reveal the Zurich region was most expensive – 2,620 francs for a 100m2 apartment last year. The Lake Geneva region came second (2,450 francs) and the central Switzerland region was third (2,205 francs).

Meanwhile, the cheapest region was eastern Switzerland (1,829 francs for a 100m2 apartment last year).

Thank you very much for all the input, Sheila.

I also hope you will enjoy the sunshine and the Evian Carnival.

Thank you Ritchie....... will you be joining in?

Who cares?!?!?  It's 2019 people - not 2017!! 

Just trying to be helpful.........................

100m2 in Geneva for 1416chf?

Riiiight...

Thank you for posting the information Sheila.

And for the record, Carolyn: it is hard to get average information for last week. It is usually for the previous year. And even if the exact figures have changed for any one location, it is most likely that the comparative values still hold, which, I believe, is the point.

The Lake Geneva region came second (2,450 francs)

Pays to read the whole message

I’ve always thought rents in Geneva were higher than in most other cantons in CH so I was a little surprised to see in the report posted by Sheila that Zurich is now even more costly than Geneva.

However, I wonder if any account was taken of the fact that, in Geneva, the kitchen counts as a room while in some other places it does not.  Simply asking …
