Demand for Mountain Vacation Homes Growing – Prices Higher up to 40% in Places

Vacation properties on mountains are more demanded than ever since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and on a global level, the Alps are especially popular with purchasers, stated Jeremy Rollason, a representative of the UK real estate consultancy Savills.

The survey carried out among international real estate purchasers by the competing house Knight Frank shows the same results.

While 11% considered investing in real estate in the ski season before the pandemic, the percentage increased 18% following the pandemic, reports Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

The newspaper says that the trend has also had an impact on the prices, so in the past two years, the prices of real estate have increased in famous ski resorts, especially, for example, in Chamonix, France (by more than 41%) and Saas-Fee, Switzerland (by 34%).
