Platinum Market Watch by Niki Thomet Q4 - Flipbook - Page 11
The Elimination of the Imputed Rental Value Tax Is Reshaping the Market
In fact, newly built homes now account for more than 40% of all real estate transactions in the Zimmerberg region - an observation
we can confirm from our own transaction activity.
Many of these new developments fall within the luxury segment (defined as properties priced above CHF 3.2 million) and are
primarily purchased by affluent expatriates. This is compelling evidence of how the left bank of Lake Zurich has evolved into a
highly attractive destination for discerning property buyers - now rivaling the so-called Gold Coast. Increasingly, what was once
jokingly referred to as the “Pfnüselküste” is now being described as the “Platinum Coast.”
Premium Prices for Underutilized Parcels
Given the scarcity of developable land in the Zimmerberg region, new supply often requires densification. While newly built
properties are in strong demand among buyers, older single-family homes with sizeable plots are highly sought after by project
developers. A property currently occupied by a renovation-heavy home can frequently be redeveloped into a multi-family building
- an approach that aligns well with the region’s continued population growth.
Our proposal: Let us assess the value potential of your detached property - complimentary and without obligation. We are also
pleased to connect you with experienced project developers who are prepared to pay premium prices for underutilized plots. At
the same time, we ensure that apartments requiring renovation achieve optimal sales prices by providing buyers with the
confidence that a renovated property can become just as perfect a home as a newly built one.
