According to real estate agent Engel & Völkers Region Zurich, the various residential areas along the Upper Lake Zurich offer strong locational factors that favor the sale of your property.

Stäfa | A real estate location like no other

According to real estate agency Engel & Völkers, the municipality of Stäfa in the Upper Zurich Lake region is considered a sought-after residential area. It is one of the most popular municipalities in the canton of Zurich, boasting excellent connectivity to the city of Zurich, well-developed infrastructure, and stunning views of Lake Zurich.

The area is perfect for hiking, offering picturesque mountain views. Prospective buyers include singles, couples, and families attracted to settling in Uetikon am See. The new cantonal school has made the community highly desirable for families with children.

4. Information for Sellers: Current Developments in the Real Estate Market

When planning to sell your house, it is important to consider the current developments in the real estate market. The high inflation rate, rising interest rates, and the energy crisis resulting from the Ukraine war have caused uncertainty among buyers, leading to a slightly cautious purchasing behavior in the past year. Despite this, our real estate agents predict an increasing demand for residential properties due to the expected growth in population, as well as a decrease in transaction duration. Therefore, investing in properties continues to be a highly lucrative opportunity.

Rapperswil-Jona is currently evolving as one of the most sought-after residential areas on the Upper Lake Zurich. Similarly, the lakeside town of Schmerikon is highly popular among potential buyers, ensuring a successful sale of your house here as well. The privileged location on Lake Zurich also adds to the high popularity of the communities of Uetikon am See, Männedorf, and Stäfa. Additionally, houses for sale in the communities of Oetwil am See and Hombrechtikon are proving to be compelling with attractive terms.
