Switzerland, Property Investment You Can Bank On!
Since Oct 2008, the world has been experiencing a global financial shake up unlike most of us have ever seen before.
During the past eighteen months, stock markets crashed, currencies have been in turmoil, housing prices have plunged and foreclosures became commonplace on all levels of the economy. Country after country was on the brink of a new economic paradigm.
Little less than a month ago, World Radio Switzerland (a BBC affiliate) reported
That the Swiss economy is “ the world’s most competitive.” (WRS, September 8, 2009).
Today, having weathered the global economic maelstrom, Switzerland property prices have remained largely intact, investors have retained their confidence, companies have continued to relocate here and international school enrolment has remained steady. In the major Swiss cities, there is an acute shortage of rental apartments
( Federal office of Statistics June 2009 ).The Swiss franc has gained ground since the start of the crisis over the leading currencies, notably as compared with the U.S. Dollar.
So what better place to invest in property when banks, investment houses & the volatility of global stock markets still make us tremble with uncertainty?
SwissChaletSales.com, owned and operated by Australian-born Robyn Kohli-Leamon, focuses on property sales throughout the Villars-Barboleuse-Gryon region as well as Montreux and Villeneuve. All areas within easy proximity to well-established international schools with recognized worldwide reputations,. Aiglon College and Beau Soleil, are but two examples based in Villars-sur-Ollon.
Nestled on the sunny balcony of the Swiss Alps, Villars is an all-season resort, with skiing and hiking at the doorstep, sublime panoramic views embrace this region, and just 45 minutes from Lausanne and 90 minutes from the Geneva airport.
Robyn states enthusiastically, “With such ease of access and safety on our streets, there is no better place to call home.”
She continues, citing authoritative sources, “Return on you capital in property investment in Switzerland over a 5 to 10 year period is still considered a “smart investment”, especially where location is concerned.,”
The attractiveness of real estate investment in Switzerland is becoming
an important consideration amongst foreigners whether residents or not.
John François Béguin, Chairman of Switzerland's largest English language
magazine has seen the increasing importance and relevance of investments
of this type over the years. He explains that: "Until recently, real
estate investment in Switzerland was closed to foreigners, a regrettable
situation as Swiss real estate has proven to be a very attractive and
secure long-term investment. Proof of this lays in the fact that,
despite the challenging times the world economy is circumnavigating,
prices have remained stable in most of the country."
