Thread: Spanish Property Market 2014 : Prices May Fall By Another 15%

--------------------------------------

23 Mar 2014 1:44 PM:

In my experience in Southern costa de la Luz the prices are pretty stable ie they are not dropping and neither are they failing. I base this on facts rather than Spainish doggy stats released by Madrid to crate optimism on the economy. Prices vary in two different ways ie prices to Spanish will always be a bit less than to outsiders and my data is based on two recent sales I have been involved in. I am of course qualifying this based on legal properties and not distressed sales where the owner has mortgage repayment problems.

In this areas prices are stable due to not having a massive glut of poor quality flats or houses in half built developments. Buyers are coming back into the market albeit a low levels but there are buyers about which was not the case over the last couple of years

Really great to see that the EU is now involved in this sort of thing. Andalucia needs to get sorted out on these types of outrageous abuses on property. The more that the Spanish government gets pulled into these issues will help,to push them towards following EU rules and regulations properly all the time.

Of course your all wrong as you are looking in the wrong costas. The southern part of the costa de la Luz is unspoilt and scenic. To cap that is has the stunning town of Vejer de la Frontera. Voted in May this year in a Spanish travel mag for the Spanish as the second prettiest town in Spain. A mere 10 minutes drive from el palmer beach which is as unspoilt a beach as anywhere you can find.

As if that was not enough it becoming the Ludlow of Spain as highlighted by the Sunday Times travel section ie a real foodie expeience at great prices for food and drink.

Why is it that there is the view that MPs are well paid. The real talent in the country does jobs that pay reasonable amounts for the responsibility they have. So all the uk gets is third rate MPs or oneswith other income. There is a huge gulf on what talent ought to get and the amounts we expect politicians to earn.

Should we ever get a real talent pool in politics we might get them to take the hard decisions and your never know that might include actually being honest with the bulk of the country about concepts such as managing to a balanced budget. However, since anyone impacted by anything however trivial eg WFA goes over the top about it. I doubt any one with real talent would be daft enough to want to get the grief and moans about this sort of stuff.

There is never a set in stone right to anything. The world moves on as things change.
