Real Estate in Andorra is more expensive than the neighboring French and Spanish regions of the Pyrenees as there is an extra stream of buyers in addition to the domestic and overseas buying markets.
Due to Andorra’s tax haven status, with similar tax benefits to Monaco, the third stream of property buyers which pushes Andorra real estate higher is those who are looking for residency, and to benefit from the zero per cent income and inheritance taxes.
For those looking for a ski type real estate, the most popular areas are Soldeu and El Tarter. But Ordino and La Massana which are only a few minutes away from the skiing are also popular and can represent better value for money. The ski season runs from December to April and property owners are often able to get good occupancy levels when not using their apartment or chalet personally.
Rental yields are often viewed as disappointing by potential owners, at between four and five per cent, but this is tax free and property price inflation is often around the ten per cent level, often making Andorra good for investment.
The Principality of Andorra is a small landlocked country in western Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. Once isolated, it is currently a prosperous country mainly because of tourism and its status as a tax haven. The people of Andorra are currently listed as having the highest human life expectancy in the world, at an average of 83.5 years at birth. Andorra is the sixth smallest nation in Europe, after Malta, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco, and the Vatican City.
