Indeed, the excess inventory of new homes is expected to fall by 50% this year.<\/p>\n<p>Luxury home sales, in particular, are coming back strongly on the Costa del Sol, according to the IPE report, driven by a better exchange rate in Pounds and Dollars, and the security and stability of Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the latest report from property valuation firm Tinsa says that the Spanish property market is undergoing a widespread recovery. Average property prices fell by 2% year on year in July, the lowest rate of decline since May 2008 but this masks growth areas along the Mediterranean coast in particular with some areas seeing price growth of 2.8% year on year.<\/p>\n<p>The data shows that on the Mediterranean coast, where prices have fallen by an average of 47.6% since the economic downturn, the average price of a home has increased by 3.8% since the end of 2014. This is more than large cities and the Balearic and Canary Islands where average prices have risen by 0.2% and 0.9%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Tinsa data also shows that five of the top 10 most expensive property hotspots are located in the Balearic Islands but Alejandra Vanoli, managing director of Mallorca Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, said that there are prices per square metre in these locations that far exceed Tinsa\u2019s estimations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s not unheard of to reach as high as \u20ac30,000 per square metre for the most desirable Port Andratx home. Demand is strong from some of the wealthiest individuals and families in Europe, the US and beyond,\u2019 she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Tinsa figures also suggest that the Balearics weathered the storm of the Spanish property market price \u2018correction\u2019 more positively than the rest of the country. While the average drop in prices across the whole country stands at 42%, in the Balearic Islands most regions registered less than a 35% decline.  <\/p>\n<p>Palma was also highlighted by Tinsa as property transactions increased by more than 50% in 2014, higher even than the mass volume markets of Torremolinos and Benalmadena. Indeed, luxury bricks and mortar is seen as one of the main drivers behind the strength of the Balearic property market. Tinsa director Jose Antonio Lopez states that the luxury coastal market is one of the areas where the turnaround is most clearly seen, owing to the differing dynamics at the top of the market.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An increased number of foreign buyers is set to boost the residential property market in the Costa del Sol in Spain, one of the country\u2019s most popular areas with overseas purchasers.
