Austrian family clans hold many prestigious ski resorts, and, until recently, didn't want to part with their property. However, the protracted crisis and the lack of money led to the fact that since the end of last year the sales of luxury chalets and apartments located on the family resorts increased, reports ee24.com with reference to 1-property.ru.
For example, in Vorarlberg, on the border with Switzerland, a series of stone and wooden chalets at the price of €5.8 million or above have changed their owners. And in the resort area of Obergurgl, located in Tyrol in the Italian border, apartments cost from €600,000 and above.
"Ski resorts" are very popular and are sold out rather deftly. Not surprisingly, since the cost of housing in the Austrian resorts rose by 35% over the past five years. And the most active buyers of such property are the Germans and the Russians.
