Luxury Real Estate in Switzerland.
Luxury real estate in Switzerland is one of the most sought after investment opportunities in the world especially for foreign high net worth individuals.
However, the 2013 ban on the construction of 2nd homes in Switzerland means that there is a limited supply of new build luxury real estate in Switzerland which is adding to the attractiveness of owning a property in this prosperous country.
Supply versus demand – Luxury Real Estate in Switzerland.
Switzerland offers many reasons for an investor to consider buying a property including economic stability, one of the world’s highest standards of living, low unemployment, a favorable tax system, some of the best educational and healthcare facilities in the world as well as a high level of security, to name a few. Therefore Switzerland continues to be a “safe haven” for many.
However, if demand for newbuild and/or modernised property outweighs supply, which is a distinct possibility since 2013, then buying into luxury real estate in Switzerland could be a wise long term plan.
Some areas are more desirable investment destinations than others within Switzerland. In this article Alpine Property Search will focus on luxury real estate within 3 popular areas within Switzerland.
Firstly, the Swiss Riviera and surrounding UNESCO heritage areas such as Lavaux are in high demand due to their location only an hour from Geneva, and with ski resorts such as Villars, Verbier and Crans Montana on their doorstep.
Secondly, the ski resorts in Vaud and Valais are particularly popular due to high rental demand in winter and summer, consequently they generally experience property price appreciation.
The third area we will focus on which is perennially popular is the Bernese Oberland and Lake Brienz benefits from spectacular mountain and lake scenery and is also close to the ski resorts of Wengen and Grindelwald. The famous town of Interlaken is also a powerful tourist attraction here.
