4. All relevant information about the real estate market in the Winterthur region

Due to high inflation, rising interest rates, and the energy crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine, there was a certain level of uncertainty about the economic conditions last year, reflected in a slightly cautious purchasing behavior. Nevertheless, Engel & Völkers real estate agents predict population growth and increased demand for housing due to the region's high attractiveness. In conjunction with the aging population, our experts also anticipate an improvement in the supply situation and a decrease in transaction duration.
