Spanish Property Sales up 16% in August
 |
| Property sales continue to rise |
The only anomaly in 2017 came when figures dipped slightly
in April 2016 – a blip that is believed to be caused by April being the month
of Easter this year.
August saw a nationwide increase in home sales across all 17
of the autonomous regions of Spain, with a 37.9% increase in Castilla-La Mancha
and a 32.5% increase in Comunidad Valenciana, which saw 163 sales per 100,000
inhabitants.
When taken as a yearly figure through the end of August,
Spanish home sales reached 315,795 so far in 2017; an increase of 14% compared
to the same time period in 2016.
Looking even further, the 12 months between August of 2016
and 2017 shows 443,483 properties were sold. This represents an increase of
13.1% over the figure for the previous 12 months and showcases a massive
increase of activity in the property market since 2014, when property sales
were less than 300,000 annually.
