When you think about it logically there should be over demand, and there seem to be places for sale for ages, but its not effected prices around here seemingly. |

Return after the summer, ie Oct or Nov time and look at properties that attracted you first time around and then make an offer! Most of them will still be there. Properties have started to go stale from being on the market for so long.....Javea included....but the estate agents are holding tight for this summer as it's usually when they make a killing. I think once this summer is over, they will be wanting to get rid of a few properties and will accept lower offers (the owners will be feeling the same). So if you can hold out till after the holiday season, I think you will get a better price all around. As for renting it out, you must know that there is big competition and alot of holiday rental properties out there competing with one another. It's a good income if you can get it, but it's not guaranteed, so keep that in mind too. Best of luck Martha P.S. My crystal ball has spoken :rofl: :p |

Re: im a bit concerned
thanks for the warm welcome :D
advice taken onboard and i will wait til the end of the year , i wanted something i could own out there until we are ready to move maybe a few years (or sonner if i had my way) down the line, so renting would be a big part until then. my friend has finaly sold his place in 'orridvieja' (no offence) which took an awful long time to sell (and after going out there i can see why , i just dont want to end up in a area that is going to end up like that . and also after asking for a spanish dish (in the best attempt of spanish i could do ) i was the asked by said waiter (in a broad cockney accent) 'do you want chips with that mate' :thumbsup: :thumbsup: . |
Re: im a bit concerned
As somebody whos moving to spain in 2 weeks and renting intiailly then if alls going well buying.. Id love to see property prices drop. Some of the rents on the costa del sol are ridiculous. Ive seen people wanting 600€ per month long term for a studio in a high rise. Im currently renting a 2 bedroomed semi with garage, driveway etc for less than that in the UK. Seems so unrealistic.

If you are talking about the "don't buy in Spain........!" thread then don't worry too much, that thread started when god was a boy and the prophets of doom are long over due a result so no worries.

all true...........but it doesn't alter the fact that in Javea, where he is going, the sales market is slow to dead, and so is the holiday rental market......not that no-one comes here, just that there is too much available
Have a look at the places for sale and rent in Thesurinenglish. |
