Zurich: How much do you pay for rent? 💸

[@claudiaandjan]

Hi guys! We hope you liked this video😊 Let us know: how much rent do you pay in your city?

[@apolo6932]

We pay 550€ per month for a 65m2 flat with 3 rooms and no balcony in Sant Quirze del Vallés (a posh town near Barcelona city). But we are paying mortgage not rent.

[@claudiaandjan]

@@apolo6932thank you very much for sharing!!😊

[@mrsupperman2678]

1440 francs for a 30m2 serviced studio in Lugano :)

[@projekt3658]

620 Euro in Berlin, in Kreuzberg. 43 square meter with balcony.

[@JoelOman1980]

We're in central (walking distance to everything) Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city and pay 7500SEK (632 CHF) for 53sqm, one bedroom. Building is from the 60s, so not modern in any aspect. But of course, rather cheap compared to Zürich which also incidently happens to be about the same size, population wise. (around 450k in Zürich and 590k in Gothenburg)

[@mathiaslongl]

Can we all take a moment and acknowledge how great Claudia and Jan are at creating these videos for us. They deliver top notch content over and over again. The best channel about Switzerland and especially Zurich! Wish you all the best hope to see you grow!

[@claudiaandjan]

Wow thank you so much for such an amazing comment. We truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful Sunday!! ✨⭐️

[@grxkas5552]

still i believe they find people who are not fit to answer the questions that most of us seek. 50% of them didn't knew what they pay cause they live with their parents. I'm 23yo wanting to move to CH from Germany(originally from greece) and I currently make 80k a month but Switzerland don't really offer anymore that much money to lvl out the costs.

[@signoredjau]

​@grxkas5552 If you make 80k a month, why are you moving for? A lot of football players don't make that in a month

[@jokerall]

you ask 100% the right questions

[@tonicap24]

I really like this kind of videos where you ask random people in Zurich. You could also ask how many languages they speak (video idea). Greetings from Spain!!

Hey there, thank you very much for your comment! Also thanks for the idea! ✨

[@rkw2917]

Here in Geneva, I pay 2'500 for 80 square meters It's only this cheap because I've been here more than 20 years If I were to move, the price would go up to 4'000 or more

[@ronaldojosegroto8746]

I live in São José do Rio Preto, 500 km from Sao Paulo, Brazil and pay the equivalent of 413 CH for a 138 square meter - 3 bedroom apartment, 2 minutes from city center

[@claudiaandjan]

Hi guys! The algorithm recently recommended your channel and have watched a few of the videos. Keep them coming! I'd like to add few technical suggestions that will hopefully take your uploads - and the channel - one level higher. Genuine comments though; not here to play 'smartass'. 1. Your intro & outro closeups are almost always out of focus, which you have probably noticed during editing. You could either move farther from the camera and/or use manual focus since those are statically recorded and you can control your distance from the lens. 2. Overall, you could consider investing in a lens with shorter focal length which will definitely also help in the interviewing parts of the video. Some of them are also out of focus, for which you could have the camera(wo)man stay at manual focus if needed. Alternatively, invest in gear with better auto-focus and eye-tracking. Better to look at a lens and positioning first though. 3. Pick one-two of the most catchy scenes from the actual content and have them played right at the beginning before the "Hallo Leute, hola todos". It will act as a trigger for watchers to stay longer. 4. Transition between shots, instead of simple cuts, could also make the content more appealing unless you intentionally aim at simple cuts. If not there are a few 'cheap' packages of custom animations for software like Premiere Pro or similar that will elevate your transitions with minimal effort (and money). 5. Reading a bit about color correcting, you can make colors more appealing in 'dull' scenes like the one here starting at 04:13. Saturation, highlights, shadows, are things you could play a bit with. You'll find more in tutorials and you need nothing but KZbin. 6. Nice stroke effect on your thumbnails already, just increase the text font size a bit. With people watching mostly on phones, letters on thumbnails really need to be bigger. Hope this helps and offers a few starting points. I suppose you are filming in different places each week, but in case I run into you in the Züri streets, I will let you know it's me who typed the comment 🙂 Cheers 🍻

[@StarletOfDavid]

These are some good points. 🎉

[@alpanex21]

@@StarletOfDavidAnd they, in fact, adopted some of the suggested actions. But completely disappeared now!

[@AmiyaD1611]

I live with my mom and brother in Stäfa on the gold coast. We pay around 2200.- now for a 4.5 room apartment. It only works because we have been here since 20+ years. It was also lower than 2000.- for MANY years but they raised the price over the coming years. It‘s almost impossible to get anything for that price, mostly 4.5 rooms here are around 3500 - 4700 or even more upwards depending on if you are closer to the lake or have lake view etc. and if we move out our apartment would for sure go up 1500.- more. We stay there because anything else would be a downgrade and as long as we are not forced to move we stay. Probably my brother will move out sometime and idk what will happen then as I‘m not sure me and my mother can afford the rent alone.

[@apolo6932]

Great video🙌

[@claudiaandjan]

Thanks a lot for your comment. We take note of this video idea!! 😊

[@lorep7412]

Great content! Thank you for creating this video 😊 yes, in expensive cities living with a partner is so much better. You can share the rent, most utilities, electricity bill is only a bit higher for 2, internet, cooking for 2 is usually better since there are rarely leftovers. Sadly I am single... 🙃 you two are a great pair! I am jealous haha

[@claudiaandjan]

Thanks so much for sharing! We hope that you will find someone! 🍀✨

[@Lafemmefutile]

That’s a roommate.

[@lorep7412]

@@Lafemmefutile well no... I am not interested in sharing my living space with a stranger / friend if no love is involved. I was presenting only the financial perspective for sharing the living costs between partners because this is the video about, of course that is not all of it.

[@AT-pd8pi]

Great content as always, one small suggestion you could also ask the same question to yourself and answer it that way we would have one more data point. It would be also kind of sanity check for you that you don't ask questions which you don't want to answer yourself :)

[@rosasa2605]

You create such a good content and what you also improved you also ask different groups of people (also the ones in 30ies) because you used to ask onoy like youngs who would say they can live with 600 per month which is like crazy and unrealistic for Zurich

[@rosasa2605]

But people age 16-17 maybe live with parents and for them 600 is enough but if you are married or have kids you need to kave 8k per month at least without luxus

[@victoriasanchez3178]

My boyfriend and I are interested in moving to Switzerland (we are from Spain) next year and your videos are so helpful for us! So thank you for your work and , please keep making videos - you two are fantastic!🫶🏼

Muchísimas gracias, Victoria!! Nos alegramos un montón de leer tu mensaje. Mucha suerte en vuestra mudanza!! ✨

[@MiauZi69]

But I have to warn you that it will be very difficult to socialize in Switzerland and this can be very difficult especially if you are from a southern country.

[@oleg274]

Hi guys, thanks for a great content! Just out of curiosity, how many people actually own a property in Zurich? It’s a great investment for sure and the rent is so high, so I think it would make sense to aim taking a mortgage. Cheers!

[@joancot5100]

But the houses are extremely expensive here. Not much houses are priced less than 1 milion, so I think profitability is not the best

[@oleg274]

@@joancot5100 thank you for reply. Usually, even if the mortgage monthly payment is higher than rent, considering the large part of that payment is a mortgage principal and probably some tax back on the interest paid (could be 30%) include into that calculation the real estate growth rate - you may be even in profit by owning a property. Rent can never be better than mortgage, unless interest is extremely high and the market is constantly in decline, which certainly cannot be the case in Zurich

[@edwin.jansen]

Sounds like Amsterdam. Crazy!

[@claudiaandjan]

Hey there thanks so much for your comment! Amsterdam is such a wonderful city ✨👍💯

[@michaziobro5301]

In Poland Warsaw Krakow we pay about 15euro/m2. I think 700-1000 euro for 60-70m2 is possible. So Zurich seems very expensive.

[@claudiaandjan]

For 60 sqm you might pay in Zurich 2000-3500 depending on the location and circumstances of the flat 😃👍

[@unucagg]

Income is bigger on Zurich so it will be balanced on the end.

[@StarletOfDavid]

15€ on a Polish wage is too expensive I think - maybe possible for a 2 income household.

[@baggienass9162]

How do the Swiss feel about conscription? Could you ask both the men and women?

[@claudiaandjan]

Thanks for your comment. That is a great idea!

[@Mylittle3Kittens]

I live in Guarulhos Brazil where os the most important airport of the country, to make a good parallel I will give an exemple by a different way. Our minimum wage by the local currency is about 1.300, my rent in a 67 square meters is about 2.400, if we go to São Paulo downtown, the main Brazilian city, you pay higher prices.

[@Fathimath-s]

Hello Jan and Claudia :) I hope you're both well. Could you please let me know which place near Zurich is closest to finding a studio for around 700-1200 CHF? Thank you!

[@claudiaandjan]

That is a good question. It depends on how big you want your studio to be. I know that Schlieren is well connected to Zurich and cheaper 🙂 Good luck! In Altstetten they are building a lot of new flats I have seen 👍

[@harshwalia6625]

very informative

[@claudiaandjan]

Glad it was helpful! ✨

[@deepelements]

Thank you for this video it has some great information. I found a very small studio near the center of the city and it's about 1020f a month. It's very very small but its so nice to be in the city :) Maybe one day I will find something a little bit bigger.

No. The no.1 problem is the government which limits the construction permits to keep a low supply of available units. This generates the situation that you see and it is 100% planned.
