Considerable decline in dwelling vacancy rate in 2022

The dwelling vacancy rate has thus fallen 0.23 percentage points year-on-year. Such a large year-on-year decline was last observed 20 years ago. There were 9869 fewer empty dwellings compared with the previous year, representing a striking decrease of 13.8%. These are some of the findings of the empty dwellings survey from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
