Which is why renowned ski destinations such as the French Alps, just a short flight away, are emerging as interesting options for property investors based in Portugal.", |
| 15 | + "In 2024, Athena Advisers - a real estate consultancy specializing in the French Alps market since its foundation over 20 years ago - recorded a 40% growth in demand for properties in the French Alps by the population residing in Portugal, considering a group of nationalities that includes mainly Americans, British, French and Portuguese. According to data from the European Central Bank, the net worth of Portuguese families reached 855 billion euros in 2023, an increase of 6% compared to 2022 and 28% compared to 2019, which explains why the Portuguese with greater financial capacity are creating new investment trends.", |
| 16 | + "“Lisbon’s growing prosperity is redefining the map of real estate investment in Europe,” comments David Moura-George, Managing Director of Athena Advisers Portugal. \"The sun and the snow may seem like different worlds, but alpine life and surfing, for example, have a lot in common: the connection with nature, the thrill of adventure, the desire to create memories, the passion for gastronomy, among others. This trend reflects, on the one hand, the aspiration to a certain lifestyle and, on the other, strategic financial planning, reinforcing Portugal's role as a central player in the European investment landscape\", highlights David Moura-George.", |

Although Lisbon's sunny charm is a strong draw, many of these expats want to continue skiing and French resorts offer this possibility at a much more competitive price.", |
| 26 | + "\"A day ski pass at major North American resorts can cost more than $300, while in France, even at major resorts, a day pass rarely exceeds 70 euros,\" adds Moura-George. \"The quality and diversity of European gastronomy is also a relevant factor\", he emphasizes.", |
| 27 | + "Property prices in the Alpine regions, whether in France or North America, often exceed 40,000 euros per square meter, but the greater diversity of ski resorts and regions means that the French offer is much broader when it comes to investment opportunities. “Each resort is a micro-market, where prices can vary greatly from street to street,” adds Moura-George. \"We have helped people invest up to €60 million in a chalet in Val d'Isère and this price level is quite common across the French Alps. However, there is also great value and strong investment potential in other resorts where Prices for new, well-located properties in highly regarded villages can start at around €7,000 per square meter.\"" |
