Spanish real estate situation is extremely grim. The prices of the properties have been lowered to large extent to clear the backlog of properties. Banks are preparing to offer 100% loan to buyers to buy the properties they have in their hands. Most of such properties are repossessed.

Property experts believe that the customers must not miss the opportunity of grabbing stunning and high-class properties in posh location at unreasonably low prices.

Managing Director of Feltrim International, Adam Cornwell thinks that the unemployment rise and restricted bank funding has made the Spanish buying tendency low. The banks have to set up a good balance in the sheets to control the situation. The financial institutions are desperate to get genuine buyers. They are reducing the property rates to unimaginable rates and at highest mortgage. Feltrim International is also coming in to help the economically distressed situation. They have reduced the rates of newly built homes to 50 percent low from the set price of 2007. The mortgage option available from them is 110 percent with the customers having to pay only two years interest.

Most buyers are recommended to bag the bargain as this offer will not remain for unlimited time.

Tinsa’s, the Appraisal Company, House Price Index depicted an 8 percent downfall during the last week. The Government is about to publish the Housing Price Index for 2011 which, has stark similarities in term of decline to the tune of 6.8 percent for 2011.

Both the Indexes show almost similar pattern wherein there is double digit fall by the end of December 2010 and accelerating throughout 2011.

Post inflation amendments to the figures, it is seen that the house prices in Spain dipped 9.6 percent officially in 2011. So the ones whose income was not affected (indefinite labor contracts with a major Spaniards) during the last year actually witnessed that the actual cost of purchasing a house fell by 10 percent or more if, 50 percent rebate on VAT on new houses is also taken into account.

The house prices fell mostly in Aragon (-10.4 percent), Madrid (-8.2 percent), Andalucia (-7.8 percent) and Catalonia (-7.7 percent) with the Basque Region (-3.1 percent), Asturias (-2.7 percent) and Extremadura (-2.1 percent) dipping the least.

According to the head of research at the website Idealista.com, Fernando Encinar, “there is almost no motive to expect any changes in 2012”.

Needless to say all these official figures will have to be accepted on the face value without any condition. So if, the official index depicted a decline of 6.8 percent then, in actual life it would have been in the range of 10 percent to 15 percent.

Yet to be promulgated and only thing that is unseen for 2011 would be the official House Price Index published by the National Statistics Institute due to be out in a month or two and widely referred by the international press. As compared to its previous form it would be keeping a low profile of the price fall more than any other statistics. This goes on very well to put across a point why international press publishes that Spanish real estate market have not dipped much.

As per the Association of Builders and Developers of Malaga (ACP), from the stock of 25,000 brand new homes available only 10,000 or less than half were sold in 2011 by developers in the Malaga province which, is home to the Costa del Sol.

Houses available at lower prices have propelled their sales which created a dent in the housing starts for the past 3 years. It is mostly evident in popular tourist resorts like Marbella, indicating an alarming slowdown of the housing expansion.

Also the lengthy lead timeframes synonymous with the construction industry could serve with a severe paucity of new homes in the near future.

Inadequate supply will worsen the situation if, the demand for new homes picks up, roughly around 22,000 new homes, based on the population. Potential buyers are keeping a distant from this market due to fears of unemployment.

Almost 45 percent of the first-time buyers of the 200,000 population of unemployed in Malaga are young adults scouting for a home in order to start a family if, circumstances are favorable.

Most of this fiasco is to be blamed on the politicians quoted President of the ACP, Jose Prado. “During these years they haven’t done anything for earning fortune out of construction also did not practice any method for attracting investors towards property in Spain”.
