[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Spanish property market came under close scrutiny in the years leading up to Brexit. Many hoped for a mass exodus of Brits that might lower property values.
Turns out there were no “Brexit bargains” to be had.
In fact, the number of foreign residents from the U.K. surged by 176% in the year leading up to Brexit, as many previously unregistered Brits made their residency official.
Once you get used to the good life in Spain, it’s hard to give up.
Long-term, it’s expected that the number of incoming retirees and second-home owners to Spain from the U.K. will drop. But there are plenty lining up to replace them…
Spain, especially the Costa del Sol, is an established second-home market—the most popular in Europe. You’ll find many Italians, Germans, Dutch, and French enjoying this country’s abundant sunshine.
But American buyers have an advantage today thanks to the “currency discount” you’ll enjoy in countries that operate in euros… including Spain.
Because the U.S. dollar remains very strong against the euro.
Take a look at the 10-year euro-dollar exchange history…
If Spain’s values were attractive historically, they’re more so today when your currency discount can save you thousands of dollars.
A Spanish home listed at 100,000 euros would have cost you US$133,000 back in 2013.
Today, that 100,000 euro home costs you less than US$110,000.
Whether you’re buying solely for your own use or hoping to earn income from a rental, now is the best time in 20 years to be property shopping around Spain.
That’s why I’m delighted to be convening with a sold-out crowd in Valencia later this month for our first-ever Live And Invest In Spain Conference.
