Property Buyers Wishing for Property in Spain

Property searches for Spain continue to be very strong

It was just last month when TheMoveChannel.com’s Top of the Props report showed around one in seven of every enquiry made on the site was for Spanish property – giving the country the highest amount of activity since 2013, and putting Spain in the top spot in the list of top 10 destinations on the property portal. Now, a few weeks later, and Spain is welcoming more good property news. The province of Malaga – home of the Costa del Sol – has moved into first place for the first quarter of 2017 in the top 50 Hotspots Index for TheMoveChannel.com. Not only is this the first time that Spain made its way to the top spot, but there’s even more good news.

Malaga accounted for 4.01% of the searches for the leading property portal during the first three months of 2017, moving up 18 places compared to the data from the last quarter of 2016, surpassing Florence/Italy down to 4^th place on the way.

In fact, Spain Property for sale has 31 spots on TheMoveChannel.com’s list of Top 50 Hotspots, more than doubling how many spots it had at during the fourth quarter of 2016, and an all-time high for any country.

Spain also held 8 of the top 10 positions, and dominated the top five with Malaga, Almería, Tenerife, and Benidorm; giving Spain four of the top five positions. This gives Spain the largest Top 10 percentage in the history of the Hotspots Index. Spain was also responsible for 13 of the top 15 destinations.

On a local level, the Costa del Sol hotspots making it into the top 50 included Nerja, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, La Cala de Mijas, Estepona, Marbella, Torremolinos and Mijas. Portugal grabbed eight destinations of its own in the Top 50, with Italy grabbing five and France earning three.
