Holiday homes’ prices up in the first months of 2019

Last studies in the Spanish market price indicate an upward trend in the first months of the year.

According to the Coastal Housing Report 2019 – recently published by property assessment company Tinsa -, 63% of the analysed coastal areas show signs of recovery in the prices of holiday homes and a “clear upward” trend in 30% of them for 1q 2019.

The latter include some of the Catalan townships near Barcelona capital such as Badalona, Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, etc.) and the islands of Mallorca and Ibiza.

In addition, areas which years ago appeared to be stagnant due to a less than solid demand, are now experiencing a price revival.

Beachfront areas with multi-family dwellings with a unit value below €2,000/m² have fallen from 30% to 25%, increasing the number of areas with values oscillating in higher price bands.

The higher priced band corresponds to a high purchasing foreign demand mostly from central and northern European Union, Russia or North Africa and it’s occurring mainly in the area of Marbella (Golden Mile and Puerto Banús), Costa Brava (Cadaqués, Llafranch, Calella de Palafrugell and Platja d ‘Aro), Costa del Garraf (Sitges) and the insular territories of Ibiza (Paseo Juan Carlos I) and Formentera.
