Increased demand in the Costa Brava region

As experts in the sector with more than 20 years of experience in the area, we are seeing how the demand for houses and flats in the areas of Sant Antoni de Calonge, between Palamós and Platja de Aro has increased.

The current conditions of mortgages and changes in consumer preferences, among many other factors, have led to properties on the North Coast of Catalonia being even more highly valued.

If you are still not convinced, we want to tell you about the main advantages of selling your home on the Costa Brava:

Highly sought after area

Even during the pandemic, interest in the Catalan north coast has maintained at optimal levels in the sector. After the slow recovery with the cessation of restrictions, the demand for houses in the province of Girona increased by 28.5% in 2021 compared to the previous year, thus consolidating a gradual growth in sales in the area. The Costa Brava was the main beneficiary, with a significant increase. This growth led to a significant increase in prices per square meter in the area, in which Calonge stands out with +13,1%.

International buyers and high net worth clients

The profile of the client looking for a second home on the Costa Brava tends to have a medium-high or very high purchasing power.

They are both looking for an investment that provides them with a long-term economic return (holiday rental, etc.) or a second residence where they can stay during the summer.

They tend to believe that these investments will give them a better return than leaving their savings in the bank, so they are willing to make high-value purchases.

Among these clients we can highlight national profiles from Barcelona, ​​the rest of Girona or other autonomous communities of Spain, or on the other hand, foreign clients.

The latter tend to have a high pace of life and want to be able to enjoy the beach, the sun and the dynamism of the Catalan coast. The prices for properties here tend to be much more affordable for them compared to those in their own country, and that is why they decide to invest in the coastal areas of Spain. In addition, there are many retired individuals who use part of their savings and pension to buy a house where they can retire and enjoy the sun, the good temperatures and the coast of ​​the Costa Brava throughout the year.

For this reason, and according to the latest data from 2021, foreign clients on the Costa Brava have represented 30-35% of all purchases in 2021. Curiously, the French accounted for more than 50% of purchases of luxury homes in the Costa Brava area.
