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”.

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.
