Buyers Gravitate to Bargain Spanish Property

According to the latest analysis from Kyero.com, foreign buyers are increasingly looking for bargain properties and are focusing their property searches in Spain's best-known provinces.

Published on July 1st 2009, the latest Kyero.com enquiry report analyses over 100,000 enquiries made by email through the site during the first half of 2009.

A four page overview of the latest report comparing 2008 and 2009 is available as a free download.

Alicante Most Popular

Alicante province has steadily increased in popularity over the years - now attracting almost 30% of attention from foreign buyers visiting Kyero.com.

Malaga province has remained stable with a little under 15% of visitor attention, while Granada seems to be losing to both Malaga and Alicante.

In all likelihood, this trend of popularity is a reflection of buyers finding property bargains in the provinces where there are the most properties available. Those kinds of markets - Alicante and Malaga in particular - are likely to offer buyers the biggest discounts, and better bargains.

Price Sensitivity

This bargain-hunting mindset is dramatically demonstrated with properties priced under €150K attracting 65% of visitor attention - up from 58% in 2008.

At the top end, properties priced over €350K have remained relatively stable at 10% of the market, with interest in properties in the €150K to €350K slipping.
