Weisse Arena and Arosa-Lenzerheide: steadily rising prices.

As every year, we have taken a close look at the market development of real estate prices in the region and will publish the market reports for the popular Weisse Arena with Flims-Laax-Falera-Sagong and the vacation regions of Arosa and Lenzerheide, which have been connected since the opening of the Urdenbahn, on January 11, 2022.
 

In contrast to the Upper Engadine, these regions have always been popular with domestic buyers in particular and have attracted fewer guests from abroad. This trend and the demand from the lowlands has also increased since COVID-19, as the good accessibility has ensured that some people have moved their home office to a vacation apartment in a popular region with a wide range of leisure activities. This has naturally driven up prices, as the supply ratio is low in all market segments.

The Second Homes Act has significantly fueled this shortage of houses and condominiums as vacation homes, as hardly any more have been built since its implementation began in 2016. It is therefore clear that the demand for houses and apartments in these well-known ski resorts has increased even further. With their constantly expanding sporting, cultural and culinary offerings, the regions are becoming increasingly attractive, with hardly any new apartments coming onto the market. This appeal is also reflected in the 2020 and 2021 summer tourist seasons, which saw a significant increase in first-time arrivals.

However, buying a vacation property is and remains a luxury that only a few can afford given the current development and the small number of properties coming onto the market. For those who can, however, it is a doubly worthwhile investment: firstly, you have a beautiful home in the mountains that you can always use freely or rent out. Secondly, selling a property promises to be a safer investment than many other options, especially in this persistently low interest rate environment.

Further explanations of the situation and, above all, valuable figures can be found in our popular market reports. These are available free of charge at our office at Aquasanastrasse 8 in Chur. Our team looks forward to your visit in any case.
