A Look at the Davos Real Estate Market

The Davos real estate sector is undergoing significant changes due to global economic and social trends. Known as the highest town in the Alps, Davos is the leading ski resort in Switzerland. Due to the Lex Koller regulation, foreign investment in real estate is restricted, leaving about 90% of the market owned by Swiss citizens. Many people prefer to buy property in new buildings on the shores of Lake Zurich.

Like St. Moritz, the market in Davos is experiencing a shift as older homeowners decide to sell their properties, increasing the supply on the market. RealAdvisor research shows a 1.0% increase in home prices in Davos over the past year. Over the past twenty years, apartment and house prices have increased by 122.6%.

As a result, Davos real estate attracts national and international investors looking for reliable and cost-effective property investment opportunities. The market remains promising for those willing to invest the time and effort to succeed in this area.
