Assessment

Roches (BE) in Canton BE achieves an ImmoCensio overall score of 23/100 and thus ranks below the Swiss average (27 points below the Swiss average of 50). The municipality ranks 2091 of 2'115 analysed Swiss municipalities.

The greatest strength is in Population Dynamics (Score 74), while Demand (VR) (Score 1) shows the weakest profile. Population is growing strongly at 7.4% over 5 years. The vacancy rate of 5.38% suggests oversupply.

Roches is a very small mountain village municipality (204 residents) in the canton of Bern with a critical overall score of 23/100. Real estate market fundamentals are disastrous: Tax score 2/100, Demand 1/100, and massive oversupply of 5.38% vacancy indicate a completely stalled market without demand.

Strengths

The Population is growing surprisingly positively at +7.4% over 5 years (score 74/100), which is unusual for a small municipality. Technical accessibility by car (accessibility index 1163) is acceptable for the region, and 36.8% renewable energy suggests renovated building stock.

Weaknesses

Catastrophic Tax situation (2/100) and immeasurable Demand (1/100) reveal a dead market. Infrastructure equipment is inadequate at 21/100, travel times to centers of 60 min. by car and 70 min. by public transport are deterrent, and the low multi-family home share of 12% limits alternative rental options.

Investment Perspective

Roches is not recommended for investors. With 5.38% vacancy and Demand score 1/100, long-term rental inability threatens. Neither owner nor tenant target groups are evident; Bern commuters prefer closer locations. Only owner-occupancy for nature lovers with long commute acceptance is conceivable.

Roches is not viable for investment – stay away: structural oversupply, absent Demand, worst-in-class Tax situation, marginal Infrastructure, and one hour travel time to central locations.
