Credit Crunch? What Credit Crunch!

Its an interesting time to be in property sales, there are big liquidity problems, nervousness in the job markets, massive changes in attitude to debt, yet people are still buying their place in the snow. Why? well I believe 90% of our sales are lifestyle sales, the buyers don't NEED to buy their apartment or Chalet, but they WANT to. Normally this is because they love their skiing so much they'd like to do more, and by buying a place in their favourite resort they know they'll make the effort to ski more, discover those hidden powder stashes and revel in their residents lift pass discount. Its also generally a long term buy, something to be enjoyed with a growing family and passed on as they grow, as well as a great excuse to holiday with friends now and in the future.
