House for Bitcoin: Do cryptocurrencies have the potential to revolutionise the real estate industry?

Anyone who invested CHF 1,000 in Bitcoin five years ago can easily buy a nice flat with that money today. This is also being realised: Bitcoin millionaires are increasingly investing their money in property. But how does Bitcoin actually work and how is the hype surrounding the digital currency affecting the property market?

The world’s top 5 most exclusive ski resorts

Engel & Völkers presents the five most exclusive ski resorts worldwide in its latest Ski Ranking.* The highest prices for ski properties are currently found in the Rocky Mountains in the US state of Colorado: Aspen leads the ranking list as the highest priced resort, followed by neighbouring Vail. Third place is shared by St. Moritz and Gstaad in Switzerland, making them the most exclusive ski regions in the Alps. Kitzbühel in Austria and Whistler in British Columbia, Canada, also rank in the Top 5. “Premium properties in ski regions are among the most sought-after second homes, as well as the most desirable investment properties. They make excellent long-term investment opportunities, especially when the financial markets are volatile, as an effective hedge against inflation – as well as providing a retreat throughout the ski season and beyond,” says Florian Hofer, Managing Director of Engel & Völkers Kitzbühel.
