Demand for property in Murcia
Saturday, September 22, 2012

Demand for property in Murcia has surged by 78 per cent this year, according to one search engine..
The region has long been mooted as the fastest recovering area in Spain, with the upcoming international airport and Paramount theme park boosting its potential for property investors. But interest in the region's real estate has already started to grow on the overseas portal, with enquiries betwee...
n March and May this year 78 per cent higher than the three months from December to February.
The increase in interest follows official reports that property sales across Spain have risen too. Although down on the year on year rate, real estate transactions grew by 21.9 per cent in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the last quarter of 2011, the Spanish College of Property Registrars revealed this week. This boost in sales has been attributed to the country's "intense lowering" of house prices, as holiday homes become even more affordable for international buyers.
Spain's financial woes and historic bank bailout continue to dominate news headlines, but the country's unemployment has also driven rents up, with rates growing by 0.7 per cent in April compared to last year. Now, investors are looking to take advantage of the falling prices and higher rents, and Murcia is one their main targets.

The results are in
Sunday, September 9, 2012

The results are in!  A recent survey conducted by the Overseas Guides Company revealed that the economic turmoil of the last few years has done little to deter those determined to buy their own slice of heaven abroad.

Of the 1,114 respondents, 36.9 per cent confirmed that they have not changed their approach to buying abroad or emigrating despite the general economic crisis and believe that now is as good a time as any to purchase abroad. A further 42.2 per cent admitted to being wary but their concern has not led them to change their plans.

So, which demographic are the most likely to be planning an overseas property purchase? The survey discovered that around 70 per cent of prospective buyers are at least 50 years old – the majority ranging between 50 and 64. Of this age group, more than 70 per cent plan to buy outright without a mortgage and 59 per cent of respondents revealed that they are planning on buying to emigrate.
 
I must admit those findings surprised me, I guess if you want something bad enough, you press on and achieve your set goals, but how about you? Are you still pressing on? Why not call me and see how achievable your plans are to own a property abroad.
