Timescale to sell a Property?
Timescale to sell a Property?
Are there any official figures stating how long it takes to sell a property in Andalucia? Have read figures varying from 2 or 3 years, even 4 years for the newer blocks. In Florida official time taken to shift a property is 117 days and they are supposed to be in crisis, don't know what word would describe the Spanish market!

USA figures for sales etc cannot be really manipulated, they are compiled from official sources. If the Spanish were manipulating theirs surely they could get the years down a bit (or does it really take 5 years!)
Saw a description of Spain's property market in New York Times which said it is in "Acute distress"

Found this, but it's for Spain as a whole and is from last year.

I'll see if I can find anything more specific.

"USA figures for sales etc cannot be really manipulated, they are compiled from official sources".... a bit like the Whitehouse telling us that Irak had nuclear weapons I guess, you can always trust information from official US sources.
I worked in an estate agents for the first 2 years that we lived here - until mid 2006. Many of the properties that we had listed are still for sale. My friend has a 3 bed pueblo house in Rio Gordo (Axarquia) that has been for sale for approx 4 years. I would say the average is probably 2 to 3 years. I did feel that the owners were asking too much for their properties and although the Brits were happy to negotiate, the Spanish put the price UP when a client showed interest!! A local developer in Torre del Mar is offering 2 for the price of 1 with 2 bed apartments starting from 165,000 euros - bit like shopping at Carrefour!

selling
I was at a dinner the other night and one couple mentioned that they were thinking of selling their appartment, when I bumped into them three nights later they told me they had found a buyer the very same evening of the dinner, and had now received the deposit !

Re: price
You are correct Julian. It is 2 bedrooms for the price of a 1 bedroom. If it's too good to be true then it isn't true.julian wrote:maybe it´s 2 bedrooms for the price of 1 bedroom!
ps... my house now on the market for about 2 years. It's not that buyers don't want it - we haven't even had a viewer.
