Government Figures show there is a steady growth now in the number of houses being bought and sold in Spain. The most notable improvement is to be found on the Costas. Overall house sales statistics indicate a definite increase of 10% during 2015 to over 400,000 sales - with International buyers accounting for more than 71,000 of those sales. It is interesting to note that a large number of International buyers are British.

After a serious slump in the market during recent years, figures are showing a definite and constantly growing increase in sales, and the real evidence of this is to be found everywhere. As we look out across the horizon, for instance, it is impossible to miss the imposing number of giant cranes on the skyline - that seem to spring up overnight like mushrooms!!

This indicates the notable increase in the available number of affordable homes that are currently being built in Spain, as well as the steady supply of second-hand and reformed houses, apartments or rural fincas that are today mainly selling at prices below those offered on the Spanish housing market 10 years ago.
