An article published in the “Ticino Newspaper” at the 7th of November 2008 talks about the safe heaven of real estate for many people. The global financial crisis also influences the south of Switzerland: the real estate market in the Ticino is prospering. When turbulence shakes the financial market, you don't know whether you'll still have your money, your stocks, or even if your company still has its value. When disaster news heads the daily business news, then people instinctively look for what seems to be their highest possession: security. At a time when it appears that there is no more relying on stocks, real estate can be a safe investment. Even a crash on the stock market won't affect the price of your home. In fact the financial crisis is a stimulant for the real estate market in the Ticino. More than ever, real estate brokers and their clients are seeing quite an advantage from the location advantages of the “safe Switzerland with Mediterranean ambience."
