DCC Property informs you of house sales recover in Spain during April

The resale property market was particularly strong

House sales in Spain recovered in April by 16.7% compared to last year at the same time with the resale property market particularly buoyant, up 26.6%, while new property sales were 10% higher.

It was the 4th consecutive monthly rise in house sales in Spain, according the National Statistics Institute.

It had been thought that there was a rush to buy property ahead of the IVA/VAT increase which comes into effect on July 1, but in fact resale property is not affected byt he increase.

The number of properties sold over the month was 34,326, some 3,000 fewer on the number seen in March. 57.5% of the sales were in Andalucía, Cataluña, Madrid and the Valencia region, with most transactions being completed in Andalucía, at 6,586.

However it should be remembered that this recovery comes on the back of a 24.9% fall in house sales in April compared to 2008.

DCC International Property comments on More Bargain Flights and Bargain Properties!

The team at DCC International Property believe that the massive expansion of Malaga airport is really good news for those clever investors snapping up distressed, discounted, problematic and reposessed property bargains in the Marbella area!

To deal with the inevitable increase in visitors seeking bargain properties, DCC International Property have now launched the Bargain listing team.

Enquiries have substantially increased in 2010 and the investment rumour on the street is that tourism is expected to pick up throughout the year.

Luckily the swanky new terminal 3 is scheduled to open in time for the annual onslaught of tourists at Easter. Authorities are keen to avoid any Heathrow T-5 style complaints and a general ripped-off feeling through lost luggage, by paying 3000 ’guinea pigs’ to test facilities before the official opening.

DCC International Property is embracing this change, as recent insight into the Spanish airport plans report 86 check-in desks, 20 boarding gates, state-of-the-art computerised baggage systems (avoiding those complaints) and will also be able to handle 9,000 passengers an hour.

There is also good news for those wanting to shop, eat and relax. According to the Spanish airport authority Aena it is:

‘…an ambitious project that includes 24 shops and 21 catering establishments, as well as VIP lounges and other passenger services. This will make passengers’ waiting time at the airport much more pleasant and they will be able to find all the products and brands that, according to the preference surveys and market studies carried out, are currently most in demand’

Bargain Flights

Budget airline Ryanair have seized the opportunity to open a new hub in the airport, which will add to a total increase of 39 new routes.

This means more flights from more areas and can only be a positive thing for tourism in the region. DCC are delighted with Ryanair’s new venture because a spin-off from this will inevitably mean a higher demand for overseas property in Marbella.

Bargain Properties

DCC International Property believe that this will be a huge boost in the long term to overseas property values and will benefit those buying at bargain prices now!

At DCC they know that relying on the old multi-listing system does not work anymore. They have launched our dedicated Bargain listing team to find those limited vendors who need to sell quickly to overseas property investors and will reduce prices accordingly.

Be sure to register to be kept up to date with DCC’s Property of the Week! This week’s pick is for quality bargain apartments between Fuengirola and Marbella.

Safe as Houses

A significant number of retirees in the UK who have lost faith in the banking system are looking at other methods of making their golden years a bit brighter. Many are shifting there priorities from investing in shares, boosting their pensions and providing an inheritance for their families to making sure their retirement is more comfortable.

People are starting to realise that their investments and pensions aren’t going to pay off as they expected and to many, releasing equity in their home in order to purchase overseas property could be the ideal alternative. ‘They might not want to sell their domestic home but it is a big asset.’ said John Digman, head of equity release services at Newcastle Building Society.

Equity release has always been seen as the ideal vehicle for releasing finances in order to fund urgent property projects and due to the current financial climate, there has never been a better time to pick up an overseas property bargain in countries such as Spain, Portugal and the US, than now.

So if you have been dreaming of lazing your days away with a glass of vino on your sun terrace in Spain, golfing to you hearts content on the sunny Algarve or going for a spot of Marlin fishing off the Florida Keys, maybe the key to your front door is also the key to your dream home overseas.
