Charleston, SC among the Top Property Hotspots in the World

During the course of the global economic crisis and the recessions that followed, experienced investors have been adding solid assets to their portfolios to protect their investments.

Unsurprisingly, those who have benefitted most during these times of recession have had quite a bit to lose before things went out of order across the globe, therefore it is no wonder that the strongest recovery in global property markets has been at the top end, in prime markets such as London and New York.
Rich investors have found value in these places and they are now considered the ten hottest property investment destinations for the ultra-rich:

1.) Vail, Colorado

2.) Jackson Hole, Wyoming
3.) Kauai, Hawaii

4.) Anguilla

5.) Antigua

 6.) Patagonia, Argentina
7.) Tel Aviv in Israel

8.) One Hyde Park in London

9.) Monaco      

And of course our very own….
10.) Charleston, South Carolina.
