With the end of the summer, and after having enjoyed a wonderful holiday on the Mediterranean coast, it is very common to receive many calls from clients or people interested in buying a property in Spain.
Whether to use it as a second home, or first in some cases, or as an investment to get a return later through renting, the truth is that after the summer we usually find a greater supply of properties for sale.
This year, we wanted to anticipate and delve deeper into this aspect.
In our new article, we are going to analyse the reasons and explain why it may be a good time to consider buying a property.
Is the end of summer a good time to buy a property?
Firstly, we know that we are currently facing a tremendously changing market. We hear the news and suffer, in many cases, the burden of mortgages.
However, if we are able to afford to buy a property, especially for those foreign investors who are considering buying a second home in Spain to spend the summer months in Spain, the end of summer opens up an interesting range of possibilities.
Below, we are going to analyse the reasons why.
- Increase in available properties: During the summer months, many people prefer to take a break and enjoy their holidays rather than actively looking for properties. This can result in a greater availability of options on the market after the summer. Having more options will allow you to compare prices, locations and features to make a more informed investment decision.
- Possible price reductions: In some cases, sellers may be willing to reduce property prices after the summer. This may be especially true for those in a hurry to sell. By investing after the summer, you may find buying opportunities at more attractive prices.
- Favourable negotiations: at the same time, after the holidays, many people are preparing for the famous “September slope” so the demand may be lower than the supply. Therefore, we may be in a stronger position to negotiate favourable terms and conditions with sellers. Owners may be more willing to accept lower offers or consider additional concessions.
- Research and planning: The post-summer period gives you time to conduct thorough research and carefully plan your investment. You can use this time to research the real estate market, consult with professionals, evaluate financials and consider your long-term goals. By having a well-developed strategy, you will be better prepared to make informed decisions.
As an aside, it is true that the property market can vary according to location and individual circumstances.
We fully recommend you to do the necessary consultations with real estate professionals and carefully assess your own financial needs and objectives.
