Discounted Properties on the Costa del Sol
The property market in Southern Spain has changed dramatically in the last two years. These changes have coincided with the global economic downturn and are significant, the positives for anybody considering purchasing a property on the Costa del Sol are obvious.
Real estate experts concur that we are at a stage where the market has more or less bottomed out with property prices in some cases back to their 2004 levels and excellent value can be had across every sector of the market. There has never been a better time to purchase!
At Property Point Marbella we have negotiated the best conditions for our clients, sourced exclusive properties that fall into the distressed sale category. Some of the best value properties rarely make it into the open market through normal channels, we have established contacts and networks within banks, legal practices and accountancy firms and have a limited numbers of opportunities we can present to you that are substantially below market value.
These opportunities can only be sized by individuals who have cleared funds available to complete any prospective transaction within 21-28 days.
Our free list of discounted properties is your first step in finding that dream home on the Costa del Sol at a massive saving.

Property Point Marbella Spanish Budget Alays Market Fears
Property Point Marbella brings you the latest news on Spanish property.
The incipient panic about Europe’s debt crisis seems to have subsided into mere pessimism this week, with the euro rebounding and investors encouraged by political leaders’ new willingness to take quick action to calm market fears.
The big underlying issues haven’t been erased: Spain is still dogged by speculation it may eventually need a rescue plan similar to the bailout already given to Greece. And many governments are cutting back on welfare programs and other spending to chip away at their heavy debt burdens — and sometimes facing street protests as a result.
Yet positive news from trouble spots Spain and Greece — as well as EU leaders’ united pledge for more banking transparency — helped buoy the euro to $1.2362 Friday, up from a four-year low last week near $1.19, and European stocks held steady.
A key decision was the move by European Union leaders at a summit in Brussels to promise they would reveal the results of stress tests designed to show how banks would do if circumstances worsen. They indicated the added transparency would show that fears about the health of the banking system are overblown.
Worries about Europe facing a worsening crisis that could derail its hesitant economic recovery had weighed on stocks in the United States and Asia over recent weeks.
“I think the market certainly wants to believe that it’s turning the corner, and of course psychological factors are at work here — it’s very difficult for any market to maintain a mood of despondency for month after month,” said Stephen Lewis of Monument Securities.
Pressure on the euro will probably be relieved until the month’s end, though in July the currency could once again dip lower, he predicted.
For a morose Europe, the good news came in threes. First, an international delegation declared Thursday that debt-ridden Greece is on track with reforms required in its massive bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Then Spain managed to raise euro3.5 billion ($4.3 billion) from what analysts deemed a successful bond offering, with more demand than there were bonds to be sold — though investors charged the government higher interest rates.
Then came the stress test decision, seen as a vote of confidence in the health of banking sector and a sign of new willingness to meet market concerns head-on.
Though there are questions about how the results will be released — whether they will be sufficiently transparent and in a harmonized framework — it was still an “extremely positive” sign, said Marco Annunziata, an economist at UniCredit bank.
It was a sharp switch from the railing against “speculators” that political leaders have indulged in, or the delay in taking action that marked the early months of this year after the Greek crisis mushroomed and the euro began its slide.
Policy makers in Europe have stopped “simply complaining about markets and almost blaming investors for everything going wrong and switched to a realization that investors do need more information,” Annunziata said.
Iain Begg, a professor at the London School of Economics, said there’s a consensus now “that the cost of dealing with Greece grew because of procrastination. It’s a general learning (process), that they have to accommodate the markets rather than just assume, ‘they’re evil Americans.’”
Germany had initially resisted releasing the stress tests but changed its tune. Though there are concerns current national law might prevent their release, Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged Friday that “we will find ways” to do it — a contrast to her initial stubborn resistance to the Greek bailout and demands of strict conditions on the loans.
European markets have been spooked since Greece demanded a bailout to prevent a humiliating default. A euro750 billion ($1 trillion) “shock and awe” financial rescue package is also being set aside in case other indebted EU nations need help, and though it eased tensions it has failed to put an end to fears of a deeper crisis in the region.
In a sign of how dramatic the situation was before the package was approved, the European Central Bank said this week that the financial market situation in Europe early last month was as tense as it had been following the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
The events leading up to the massive rescue plan also brought a sudden change in sentiment, an abrupt flight to safety by investors and a resulting liquidity squeeze, the ECB said in its monthly bulletin for May.
Across Europe, countries are trying to slash their deficits: Germany plans to cut euro80 billion in spending over the next four years, while Britain is unveiling an emergency budget next week with cuts to welfare benefits and the wages of state employees.
Trouble spot Spain is pushing through budget cuts and labor reforms that Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero claimed would prevent new redundancies and encourage companies to hire more workers.
EU leaders meeting in Brussels this week insisted that they are not worried about Spain. IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, in Madrid on Friday for talks with Zapatero, praised the government’s handling of its economy.
Earlier this week, Strauss-Kahn’s office had denied a report that he was traveling to Madrid to work on a bailout package. Spain’s government has also strongly denied such rumors.
“I’m confident,” Strauss-Kahn said. “That’s the main message I want to give.”

Return Interest for Spanish Property Search
Spain saw a marked increase in overseas property searches in May on leading listing site Rightmove. The country was responsible for half of the site’s top 10 climbers in May with key indicators of interest being Minorca up 9.06%, Marbella up 6.68%, Galicia up 5.96%, Northern Spain up 5.22%, and the Balearic Islands up +3.65%.
“May was a great result for Spain, fed by returning confidence among buyers as the bad memories and headlines of last year fade,” said Robin Wilson, Head of Overseas at Rightmove this week.
“It’s always hard to let go of what your spanish property was worth at the peak of at the market and accept times have changed, but vendors also seem more open and have much improved realism about prices necessary to make transactions happen. The improving Euro exchange rate is definitely playing a part, up 10% on January this year and 20% on January last year, meaning buyer’s budgets can go further.”
Foreign exchange specialists Moneycorp also saw a rise in enquiries for Spanish properties, with enquiries up 11.8% between March and May. According to David Kerns, Head of Private Clients at Moneycorp, “throughout May, sterling gained good ground against a weak euro. Having started the month at €1.14, the rate eventually reached €1.18 towards the end of the month.”
The pound also benefited from economic data which continues to support the view that the UK recovery is gaining traction. In contrast, the euro has continued to weaken, following news that Spain’s AAA credit rating had been downgraded. It was sent even lower when the European Central Bank warned that eurozone banks faced writing off another €195 billion of bad loans last week. The increase in the sterling/euro exchange rate would have made properties within the euro zone an increasingly more attractive prospect for euro buyers, and explains the surge in interest in Spanish property.
The United States also saw some interesting trends in the Rightmove Search Report with a 15.5% fall in searches for Florida, a 9.11% fall in the Gulf Coast and 6.05% fall in the Orlando/Central Coast region.”
Finally, Malta was up for the 5th consecutive month and on course to break into the top 10 countries on Rightmove this year. Search volumes were up 73% on April 2009 and not far off 2008 levels.

Property prices in Europe starting to rise again
Over the period of 2009 property prices across the Eurozone dropped by 4.6 percent. According to the Financial Times Eurozone index, property prices in Britain, Spain, France and Germany rose during the fourth quarter of 2009. The three countries hardest hit by the downturn during 2009 were Ireland, Iceland and Slovakia.
In the micro climate property market of Marbella and the Costa del Sol, property prices have now steadied. The more savvy property purchasers are aware of the recent approval of the new Town Hall Urban Plan (PGOU) and know this will legalise many of the developments which had left the area in limbo for the past few years.
Here at Property Point Marbella we have noticed a marked increased in the number of serious purchasers now visiting the coast. Many of these have expressed that for the past few years, due to the uncertainty of the building licences in the area they have been waiting patiently to make their move and feel now is the time to snap up those property bargains.
