Mountain real estate: market, trends, opportunities
The mountain real estate sector continues to prove highly attractive, despite major political and economic challenges. After a period of strong growth, demand has stabilized throughout the year, with customers looking to acquire a mountain home, both as a second home and as a secure alternative investment, taking more time to find the right property for them.
In the famous Trois Vallées resorts, prices stabilized in 2024 after three years of continuous increases, indicating a stabilization of the market. Nevertheless, an international clientele in search of investment opportunities remains very active in these resorts, where the altitude guarantees optimal snow conditions during the winter season.
Although a slight deceleration is noticeable, the new-build market remains attractive, particularly for investors, thanks to tax advantages such as reduced notary fees and the possibility of reclaiming VAT. The fall in interest rates that began in the second half of 2024 has also helped to balance this market..
While urban areas are experiencing corrections, real estate in the mountains, and more specifically in the Alps, is following a different curve, one that resembles consolidation. The mountains offer a dual advantage: as an asset investment, but also as a healthier way of life, closer to nature, and therefore more attractive in the long term. As a result, even if the global real estate market is experiencing some upheavals, the mountain market has never done better to live up to its reputation as a safe haven.
Investing in a ski resort also means investing in a unique lifestyle, where the mountain becomes a place of rejuvenation, leisure and unforgettable moments, whatever the season. With careful planning and the right support, your investment can become a stable source of income and a place of pleasure for you and your family for many years to come.
The professionalization of the rental market is becoming a real answer to owners wishing to make a profit from their properties while enjoying a second home in the mountains.
Buyers in this market are mainly experienced investors who only borrow against the returns on their investments. This niche market is characterized by demand outstripping supply.
It’s a market driven by tourism and the scarcity of supply.
Atypical properties, such as luxury chalets and character properties, occupy a special place in the mountain real estate landscape.
The year 2025 will see mountain real estate continue to seduce with its durability, growth opportunities and unrivalled tourist appeal. For investors, this is a favorable time to invest in this sector.
