New year is traditionally the best time of year to think about lifestyles changes with healthy resolutions, new job or a potential second home. Savvy investors thinking of making a move in 2018 should start preparing their house hunting in order to make the best of their purchase for spring and summer holidays. And it terms of the location, Spain seems to be a winner!
Spain’s property market is roaring back to life, with experts forecasting prices and sales to rise in 2018. The holiday hotspot has moved from sixth in the ranking by Afire to the fourth most rewarding investment opportunity in the world.
The changes might tempt many buyers to see now as the perfect time to pick up their second home in Spain. The Second Home Expo – titled Flanders Expo Ghent – will take place from 3rd to 5th of February for potential buyers who are ready to grab this investment opportunity.
Set in Ghent in Belgium, the exposition is a forum where Belgians and Netherlanders citizens can find the extensive offers from reliable estate agents and housebuilders such as Taylor Wimpey España. Whether it is a second home to enjoy unforgettable holidays or to use it as an investment, promoters insure that it all starts at the Second Home Expo.
For Belgian and Netherlanders buyers, Spain remains a popular destination with INE reporting some 424,133 Belgians and 565,723 Netherlanders holidaymakers who visited the Iberian Peninsula last summer. Their number have increased by 13%, accounting for 9% of the total of international tourists in July 2017.
It is not surprising then to see an extensive offer of Spanish homes during the exposition. Spain’s leading housebuilder, Taylor Wimpey España, operational in Spain for 60 years, will participate in the expo to answer the rising demand of Belgium and Netherland buyers for their houses as they represent 15% of total reservations.
“We’re seeing much more interest from Netherland buyers this year – our sales to them were up 80% last year. Belgium and Netherland buyers now account for 15% of the total of 32 nationalities who showed interest to our houses in 2017. Our Costa Blanca properties have proven particularly popular with them.”
