The editor of Spanish Property Magazine, Will Needham has said that property market investors will be interested to know that Spanish property prices are still falling. He also said that the best data available is showing that the decline is very likely to continue throughout the current year.

Needham said that whilst property prices are still falling, the rate of decline is easing off. He believes that the recent release of many properties at bargain prices will act as a stimulus to the market and that is likely to finally stop prices falling further.

He sounded a warning that high levels of unemployment, repossessions and bankruptcies are likely to continue for some time and this will have an obvious effect on economic recovery. Needham made these statements in response to a survey published by sunshine.co.uk which found that of all the countries in Europe, British Ex-Pats felt safest in Spain.

Spain’s economy is giving very little indication of recovery. Despite the efforts of the government, the property market is still weighed down by falling prices. It is believed that the economy as a whole will only recover after an increase in property market activity.

The Governor of Spain’s central bank, Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez said on Tuesday that the reform of the savings banks, who are crippled with bad debt balances, should have been undertaken sooner.

Spain’s savings banks account for almost half of the country’s banking activity. Because of the bad debt that they are carrying on their books, they are unable to make new property related loans. The current levels of unemployment are linked to inactivity in the house building sector. This together with other underperforming sectors makes the country one of Europe’s most significant under-performers.

According to recently released data, Spain’s “Purchasing Managers’ Index” (PMI) showed that the service sector fell in March from 50.8 to 48.7. Conversely, the PMI for the whole of Europe showed a rise from 56.8 to 57.2 over the same period.
