Resale Market is Number 1!

Resale Market is Number 1!

Huge demand and lack of new-build supply have led to a shortage of available property on the Costa del Sol. Consequently, resale (pre-owned) homes have stormed to the forefront of property sales.

Buying a resale property can be a shrewd move if you like a little DIY or have the budget to get the professionals in.  Pick the brains of your local agent for trusted artisans - nothing beats a personal recommendation.

With new units still unable to keep pace with demand, 2023 looks set to continue this situation. We predict a rise in the number of buyers who will want to refurbish their purchase of a slightly older property to create the home they desire.  Will you be one of them?

 As a result, the home refurbishment sector and its associated professionals should have another busy year.
