Spain still at the top

A new study shows that Spain tops the list of the 101 most popular overseas property destinations searched for on the internet - not a surprise to those who know the reality behind the many downbeat newspapers stories currently circulating.

The study looked at which countries UK internet users search for, and Spain came in at number one, with the region of Murcia itself in the top ten.

The research, from Globaledge.co.uk, analyses 200,000 property related searches over the last 100 days and groups them into specific locations.

Ashley Rigg, director of Globaledge.co.uk, said: "An amazing 11 out of the 20 most popular overseas searches in the last 90 days were for Spain or for Spanish towns and regions. Despite the media gloom surrounding the Spanish housing market, there is still considerable demand from Brits for property in Spain and the lifestyle that goes with it."

Murcia Home Owners - Good News!!


A new study has revealed that the price per square metre of homes in Murcia has increased by 12.7% for the first half of 2007 - breaking the national trend. Last year the price also increased - by 8.2%. Urban land has also increased in value - by 38% in the first half of 2007, following a 11.4% growth in 2006.

The study, by the bank Caja EspaƱa, shows levels of growth in both the construction and service sector. They state that the region "would have an active working population, and although growth would slow, there would still be a noticeable trend above the national average."

Just one of the reason why smart buyers choose Murcia and the Costa Calida.
