Will Strong Demand For Costa Del Sol Property Continue?

The Costa del Sol is an international market affected by factors that are different to the provincial markets in a local town or city in your home country. Demand here was triggered by the desire for a property in the sun by the millions of people due to retire over the coming thirty years. The local market is not entirely dependent on the state of the national or local economy but on the economies of many countries throughout Europe, Russia and the Middle East.

Despite the many factors that adversely affect the property market here over the coming years, strong demand should continue. The Costa del Sol is an extremely desirable location that is lively year round, and easily accessible from major airports in Europe. The area also benefits from years of investment in its infrastructure, golf and amenities and enjoys fantastic weather.

These factors are important for the many people with 30 to 40 years worth of savings who are approaching retirement in northern Europe. The Marbella area also attracts the wealthy and this will continue to positively influence the demand for high end property.

Conversely demand from clientele with low budgets who have less to spend on their holiday home purchase are currently buying property in the emerging second home markets of Bulgaria and Turkey. This in our opinion bears good news for the long term growth in value of the Costa del Sol property market. We are convinced that it will mirror the trends seen along the coastline of California.

Over the mid to long term the coming downward turn is good news for the market: there will be an end to unrealistic price expectations, increased customer expectation and industry regulation will lead to higher standards of service and an end to unsound business practices. These and many other factors will lead to a market correction in property prices, which in turn will lead to increased demand.
