Every investor looks at the risk of their investment. Nothing, even not a savings account, is without risk. Inflation could rise faster than interest, for example, or the bank could go bust (some did in 2008, not so long ago!). Usually, the higher the risk, the higher the potential return.
There are some exceptions to this rule and, historically, real estate has been one of them. It is something that is always in demand – the population is growing and people need somewhere to live – and supply is limited. It is, after all, a slow process to build houses and there isn’t always room to do so in the places where people want to live.
These two articles take a look at how the Amsterdam housing market, in particular, has held its ground in some of the most recent economic headwinds.

The crisis of 2008 was one of the hardest for real estate, ever. How did Amsterdam do?
Why Amsterdam housing is more stable than cryptocurrency
If you’ve been moving your savings around in the last few years, chances are that you’ve at least considered crypto.

A word to the wise
We put this bit of text at the bottom of every article on investing. Not in fine print and not because we have to. We want the best for you and don’t want to get you in trouble because you bought into something we said.
Investment comes with risk. Past returns do not guarantee future successes. amsterdreams provides you to the best of our ability with information to judge the risk and compare it to other ways of saving or investing, but we are human and we can also be wrong. Things could happen that we did not foresee.
You could lose part or all of your investment. So don’t invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
