Even though Marbella has boasted for many years of being the play ground for the wealthy the recent problems of its Town Hall’s financial difficulties has not gone unoticed by the local businesses and public with the news of the schools in the area having to go without necessary supplies. The response from the public and businesses looking to help with donations were a few firms specialising in Marbella Apartments.
It kind of makes you wonder if Marbella’s Town Hall’s problems are linked to what is happening in the property market! Ask the feeling of property developers and sales agents on the Spanish coast and they will tell you that the market is flat or depressed (depending upon the area).
Buyers are now people looking for holiday homes or relocation properties – end users rather than speculators / investors – who are fewer in number and much more cautious about buying. There aren’t dollar signs in the eyes of these buyers. At the same time, due to the absurd number of housing starts in Spain in recent years, there is a glut of properties on the market in many popular areas, with off-plan investors and developers all trying to sell to the same reduced number of home buyers.
However, it doesn’t follow that all regions in Spain are suffering from depressed property markets. The only areas that really appear to be in serious trouble are those where they have recently built an enormous amount of mediocre property in mediocre locations. Otherwise, relatively attractive areas like Apartments Marbella free of excessive new construction are subdued compared to previous years, but not exactly in crisis, and it looks like there is a flight to quality going on, with the old rule of ‘location, location, location’ proving itself once again.
