According to experts at the Spanish Valuation Institute, new houses are becoming more popular in Spain (Instituto de Valoraciones)

New buildings were one of Spain's biggest surprises in 2020. Although COVID-19's arrival slowed property sales in Spain and filled the real estate market with uncertainty, new buildings were somewhat exceptional and succeeded, in some cases, in ending the year of the pandemic with sustainable demand, good sales volumes and price increases. If you plan to move to Spain, new developments and new sales in Spain can be a great option with many advantages. أرض سكنية للبيع في قطر

"The market for new homes shows a better evolution following the coronavirus lockdown in 2020 than for second-hand or pre-owned homes in Spain," explains the Spanish Research Instituto de Valoraciones, which has summarized the reasons for this recent increase in houses in a study and highlighted the many advantages of buying a new home instead of used property in Spain. The advantage of these systems is that most new housing developments are more adapted to demand, have higher energy efficiency and are mainly situated on the outskirts, and offer greater comfort than most pre-owned properties. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of buying a new building in Spain.

New buildings are better adapted to new demand requirements

COVID-19 lockdown in Spain made many families aware of their homes' deficiencies, particularly the lack of indoor and outdoor space. For this reason, the study explains that "new homes, villas and other properties that respond to the requirements of today's consumers have shown a greater interest during recent months: large outdoor spaces, lots of natural light, additional office spaces or high-energy efficiency, among others.

New buildings have additional spaces even if communal

Apart from the changing demand for property features, buyers express in 2021 the need for extra services like gardens, playgrounds, sports facilities or a swimming pool.

"These spaces have become more common in recent years and have gained importance. They can also be crucial in deciding to purchase a home," the study says. Parking and storage facilities are also among the extras requested.

Location: New developments are usually in the suburbs in Spain

One more reason for the recent boost in new houses in Spain is the fact that they can usually be found on the outskirts of big urban centers, or in medium-sized cities.

In this sense, the study recalls that the availability of land in the center of cities such as Madrid or Bardcelona has generally been limited so that "these areas far from the center are presented to people interested in new homes as an additional attraction. These zones are less populated and tend to be quieter, but they usually provide all kinds of services in the immediate vicinity, such as schools, hospitals or shopping malls," the Institute of Valoraciones experts add.

more efficient and with the option of finishing

Another great advantage of the new buildings is the ability to customize your new home. Many new developments will allow buyers to alter their plans, which are known as off-plan housing, where buyers often have the option to choose materials for rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens.

"These are some of the added values that new constructions can provide to design a tailor-made house with styles such as 'open concept,' the option of including home automation technology or other solutions that favor energy conservation." At the same time, the instutite also emphasizes that it is 'sustainability' which characterizes such homes, given that building processes are currently more sustainable and housing more efficient.'

Advantages in payment form

Although the purchase of a new property in Spain is generally more expensive than in a second hand, due to higher taxes and fees, in many cases new developments have payment formulae which facilitate the purchasing process for buyers. Options frequently include starting to pay installments during construction of the house or the ability to obtain favorable mortgage terms due to certain agreements with banks between the developers.

Hypothecary refinancing! Situation in the market

The Czech Republic's mortgage refinance market has recently gained importance. In recent years the Czech mortgage boom has rapidly matured with a rapid development and stable growth beginning in 2001 and a year-on-year increase of over 40 percent. Over the years, a solid customer base has been created. At the end of 2007 the total number of mortgages granted amounted to approximately 265,000, with the total mortgage volume reaching almost CZK 470 billion. The importance of the future potential of this "existing mortgage" market was recently realized by local banks and they are slowly trying to address this market. But an open customer hunt is most likely held back by the policy of the biggest bankers who fear the refinancing "Pandora's Box." A few small banks can already pro-actively offer mortgage refinancing through their mortgage products, which are especially designed to refinance and have favorable terms and lower interest rates.  apartments for rent qa...

Rising house prices in Spain have slowed, but are still increasing.

In the second quarter of 2019, the price of used housing in Spain rose 1.7 percent. The latest idealista price index shows that the average house price in Spain is 161 euros per square foot, or about 1,733 euros per square meter. This represents an increase of 6% over last year's figures . شقق للبيع في قطر As noted by Fernando Encinar, who serves as the head of research for idealista, we are seeing the same type of pattern over and over again. The cost of housing has risen everywhere, but at a slower rate. Some caveats apply, such as the case with the Spanish islands, where the strong tourism industry keeps prices artificially high. Also notable is the decrease in Barcelona's prices year-over-year for the first time since June 2014. Although being quite moderate, this could be a watershed moment for Barcelona. “Even if housing policies at the municipal, regional, and national levels do affect the development of property prices, we will have to wait a few months to see how these...

This New Mexican Design Fair is Creating a Stir!

Surprisingly, design fairs aren't often held in especially inviting (or design-forward) locations. I can't say I'm yearning to return to the gloomy, interminable halls of New York's Javits Center, Milan's Fiera, or Paris's Parc des Expositions, where I've easily tallied five hours of appointments without peeking out a single window to the outside after more than a year of canceled events. But last weekend, as things began to return to “normal,” whatever that means, I found myself at a different kind of design fair, agua fresca in hand, surveying new furniture, lighting, textiles, and accessories amid the blazing sun and crashing waves at architect Alfonso Quiones's Casa Naila in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. It was the first edition of Mexico Design Fair, a pre-pandemic concept that emphasized an appealing location, an intimate guest list of collectors and design insiders, and the current crop of Mexican-made items, all at a time when the country's desig...
