October month of 2010 did not bring lot of good news to real estate in Spain. November however, showed some positive features. Though a 20 percent increase has been observed in month to month record, 8.6 percent fall is noticed from the sales of the previous year.

28,732 homes were sold in November 2010. 15,957 homes were brand new and 16,789 homes were resold. Records of property in Spain released the above details.

Mark Stucklin is a property expert keeping complete note of the situations occurring in Spanish real estate market. He remarked that these figures showed the worst conditions of property. This absolute downtrodden situation will mark the coming of prospective season. Spain has experienced the most critical condition in real estate market.

Slight recovery was achieved in the first few months of the present year. The hype cannot be maintained because of VAT increase and continued presence of bad economic condition.

Spain will always remain a hotspot for second home buyers. British people can never show disregard to property in Spain.

Barcelona region always attracts buyers. The Spanish capital fetches 31 percent increase in home sales every year. The badly affected zones are Malaga, Murcia and Almeria.
