So finally some data to back up what we have been saying for some time that we have hit the bottom of the market and the biggest obstacle to property sales in Costa del Sol is customer's perception mainly driven by the misplaced bad press that comes from various economic data Recent research reveals that 2,359 homes were sold in August - the highest monthly tally since May 2008 - up 25.6 per cent on the previous month and almost 30 per cent higher compared to corresponding month in 2009. If that doesn't show that prices have bottomed out and buyers are moving into take advantage I am not sure what does. A growing number of Spanish property market professionals now believe that the market has bottomed out; following a turbulent three years in which prices nationwide have plummeted and at Spanish Hot Properties we would go further expect prices reasons on certain types of property in 2011. So why is there such a huge misconception about the true value of property in Costa del Sol?
