  • Properties for sale in Spain

All posts tagged Property

Is the rejuvenated Spanish property market about to go in to overdrive?  As we enter the last month of 2015, there are plenty of sound bites suggesting that it may just do that.

 

Demand from British buyers was up by 53% in the 3rd quarter of this year against the first quarter of 2015. As the year has progressed Spanish homes are being snapped by the Brits and guess what… the prices are rising.

As Spanish property registrars have documented, property prices have increased overall by around 6.6% since March 2014.  Mortgage acceptances have also increased by some 17% against September 2014.  Property is in high demand, & it is written that there are currently in excess of a million properties for sale across Spain. 

 

Some pessimists may question the credibility of the data, and some will say so they should. However we can only report about our experience in the locations that we work in here at Your Place in Spain Ltd – The North and South of the Costa Blanca, Murcia & Costa Calida and the Costa Almeria too.

Beautiful property in high demand

In our experience on the ground we have had fantastic levels of interest from the platforms used to show our portfolio of properties.  We have had clients queuing for appointments, and even property selling within hours of being put on the market.  

 

We’ve also seen customers place offers for the asking price and be refused as the sellers, quickly realising the high demand of the market, believing that they can achieve more money than first thought! Can we really blame them?

As the exchange rate is currently sitting at circa 1.42 euro to the pound, for buyers, it is back to the Boom years of 2002 to 2006 when it comes to purchasing property.

 

The ‘double whammy’ on offer this time though is that current property prices are anywhere between 25% and 65% lower than they were in those boom years, & this is a major contributor to the buoyancy of the market in the hot spots.

To cap it all, the new developments currently being undertaken across the Costa Blanca (which we understand to be in excess of 50) are being built, and some of to the very highest standards, to help deal with the demand.

 

So whilst some data will be heavily debated, we perhaps should take on board, and remind ourselves of the reasons for this possible or probable resurgence in the Spanish property market.
