Featured Article – “Price of New Homes On Rise in Canaries”
“According to a recently released survey from the Sociedad de Tasacion, (one of Spain’s leading mortgage evaluation agencies) the price of a new home in the Canary Islands has risen by 8.5% over the last year”.
We can now see some emerging “hot spots” that will no doubt be of great interest to hungry investors. Tias, on Lanzarote saw the biggest increase in price at 16.5% over the last year. Other growth areas include; San Sebastian, La Gomera (12%) and La Laguna, Tenerife (10.1%).
One of the main reasons these areas have gone up in value so dramatically is because of their lack of buildable land. When there’s a shortage of designated land available for new development in the district, the areas become more exclusive and prices automatically go up.
“The Canary Islands are the fourth cheapest region in Spain”.
Apparently these “Happy Islands” are just behind Extramadura, Murcia and Galicia, when it comes to Spain’s cheapest region for buying a home.
Compared to other popular tourist spots like Andalucia’s Costa de Sol and the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands appear to be seriously undervalued – meaning better value for money for anyone buying here.
In the Canary Islands the average cost of a new home is still just €1,827 per square metre, whereas in Andalucia and on the Balearics you’d pay €2,142 and €2,763 respectively.
If you’re serious about buying or selling anywhere on Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote or Gran Canaria you should set up your own freedom property account. With this you’ll be able to keep track of the properties you are most interested in, stay updated with the latest properties coming on to the market and much much more.
