Investing in real estate in Spain?
Investing in real estate in Spain is probably not the first thought that comes to mind when you are considering investing your money. However, it is a better idea now than it has been in a long time. We will explain in detail what the reason for this is in this article based on various reasons. In the article we will cover the following:
1. Negative savings interest in the Netherlands and Belgium
2. High Return on Rental Income
3. Annual increase in value in Spain
You may have recently seen that negative interest will be levied on savings in the Netherlands and Belgium in the near future. With this one pays the bank to be able to save the money there. This is, of course, quite a change from the previous model where the saver received interest to save his or her money in the bank. Interest rates have of course been falling for years, but most people did not see it coming so quickly that people would have to pay money in order to save money.
The reason that we will have to pay money on our savings in the Netherlands and Belgium is because the European Central Bank (ECB) has set an extremely low interest rate. The European Central Bank determines what the interest rate is, and that has been extremely low for quite some time now because the European Central Bank wants people to spend their money, and not save in the bank. When money is spent, it is good for the economy. Due to the low interest rates, banks are reportedly making a loss on the custody of private individuals' savings. They have waited a long time to introduce a negative savings rate, but recently the first banks have announced that the negative savings rate will be introduced. For most banks, this only applies to amounts from 100,000 euros or even 150,000 euros. There is also already talk about a possible negative savings interest for amounts below the above amounts.
With all of the above information, it only makes sense that more and more people are considering investing the savings they've worked so hard for. Why leave your money in the bank, and pay money for it, when it is also possible to have your money make money for you. We can see that more and more people are doing this, for example in the increasing popularity of investment applications such as DeGiro and Etoro. This allows you to invest in stocks. However, stocks are a relatively volatile investment. Are there not other ways to invest your savings without running a risk?
That is where investing in real estate in Spain comes in. We offer many different real estate options in Spain. We mainly focus on real estate in Costa Blanca. The Costa Blanca can be found in the southeast of Spain. The area is known for its many sandy beaches and is a true paradise. That is why more and more people would like to spend their holidays in a beautiful villa or in a modern apartment.
At Max Villas we offer you the opportunity to buy beautiful properties in Spain for fair prices. We are a small team that works hard to offer many beautiful properties in the Costa Blanca to Dutch and Belgian buyers. We also often guide our buyers in the process of renting out the house to other holidaymakers. That is one of the reasons why investing in real estate in Spain can be a very good idea. You can earn a decent living by renting out your villa or apartment in the Costa Blanca. You will probably not spend every week of your holiday in your villa in the Costa Blanca, so renting out your villa is a very smart option.
These rental incomes are very interesting and require little work. In addition, it is always a better investment than leaving your money in the bank with negative interest on savings.
However, that is not the only reason to consider investing in real estate in Spain. The Costa Blanca is a region that is growing strongly in popularity. As a result, the houses and apartments increase in value every year. The villas and apartments are still relatively cheap, making this a very good entry point. In addition to your monthly rental income, this is also a good investment as the house will most likely increase in value in the coming years.
In summary, it is therefore possible to buy a very nice and beautiful holiday home in a beautiful region, which you can rent out when it suits you and when you need it. With this you can earn a nice extra monthly amount. As an added benefit, historically these homes have only increased in value making it an investment that seems very lucrative.
At Max Villas we like to guide our customers through the process of buying and moving
