Demand first started falling in August 2007 when people believed that prices were too high and that other European destinations were proving to be a more cost efficient destination. Maybe these people were right, but they have also run into problems in August 2008 when the full impact of the credit crunch began was felt. That is all history, so where are we now? Is it safe to go back into the market? Will the prices go down further? To answer this question you must look at the fundamentals.
1. Product quality
2. Supply and demand
3. Current pricing
1. What is Spain, or to be more precise in our case, Granada´s Costa Tropical, selling? What does it have to offer that people are willing to buy? The Costa Tropical has one of the best climates in Europe, two new motorways linking the area to the city of Granada, Malaga and Almeria (to be finished 2012), skiing in the Sierra Nevada, traditional Spanish culture not diluted by Northern European fashions. Limited development and lots of protected countryside. The Observer newspaper quoted Almuñécar as the holiday resort of the Spanish. Compared to other resorts in Spain and throughout Europe, the Costa Tropical can hold its own.
2. Luckily the Costa Tropical was behind the curve for rampant property development and so did not suffer the massive over supply of repossessed apartments and unsold villas of other Costa's. Demand for the culture and the micro climate remain strong from Northern Europeans and affluent Spanish buyers who want an investment or summer home on their favorite coastline. As the Costa Tropical enjoys the best climate in Europe (according to the World Health Organization), the 830 million inhabitants of Europe provide substantial demand for property.Demand for property will increase on the Costa Tropical as the motorway is nearing completion, plans approved for 2 new marinas and a 7 star hotel is coming to Almunecar.
3. There is a dual pricing scenario at the moment with realists reducing prices to sell and the dreamers still hoping to achieve the highest prices of 3 years ago. All the sales we have been part of in the last six months have been at 50% of the highest marketed price! Remember that the highest asking prices did not sell so were probably 20% over priced. So the real price correction on these properties has been a reduction of 37.5%. According to a Deutsche Bank report out today the USA has dropped 30% in 3 years from the end of 2006.This report considers the USA to be out of their housing slump with prices beginning to stabilize and grow. Europe lags 6 to 12 months behind the USA so we will not see this stage until later in the year. This time delay is also confirmed by the fact that lending here in Spain is allegedly going to start flowing again in June 2010 whereas in the states this process started in early 2009. This availability of finance will be the key to the timing of the recovery of the market in Spain. Therefore the sale prices we have seen represent a 7.5% discount to the lowest prices predicted as the bottom of the market. These are the bargains that other people seem to find, but never you! Now is the time to get yourself a good property professional and go shopping for your Bargain Spanish Property.
