2011 was a good year and interest in housing in Spain began to increase significantly again. We guess that interest in investing in a home in Spain will continue to increase in 2012 as more and more people realize that the "uncertain times" are here to stay. One month the stock market goes up, the next month it goes down. Not much to do about it.

Admittedly, we do not believe that the starting prices for houses and apartments will fall any more on the Spanish housing market in 2012, but instead there will be a very favorable negotiation situation during the year.

For us at Spanska Fastigheter, it will be a very exciting year as we feel ready to take a few more steps forward. Among other things, we have tied up with a very large player with apartments and houses in Nerja and the surrounding area. This applies to incredibly affordable rentals as well as sales. Above all, this contract means that we can offer lots of homes for under one million Swedish kronor . This segment, that is to say, a somewhat spartan choice of residence but which is nevertheless turnkey and located relatively close to the beach, is becoming increasingly popular among Swedes. It doesn't have to cost several millions to find a good accommodation in Spain anymore. There are bargains to be had even for a smaller budget.

Two areas in Spain that we haven't had time to cover in the past (but still get some inquiries about) are Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca coast and the Canary Islands. We are currently expanding our portfolio in these two areas. In both of these cases, we invest in a cheaper alternative in terms of the range of houses and apartments. From just under a million and upwards.

We have also launched a very affordable spa concept on the Solkusten . This is clearly a nice option for those who want to add a little extra edge to their trip to the Costa del Sol. We will also during the year launch a completely separate page with a spa stay at a luxury hotel in Malaysia. This spa hotel will definitely be something for those who are looking for a different kind of holiday in mindless luxury.
