There is a high demand for Spanish real estate. While this is positive news for the buyers, they may experience some potential problems, mainly in the form of higher mortgage payments. The recent phenomenon of property buyers bidding prices sky-high has been largely responsible for this. Nevertheless, the increased competition means that buyers can expect to pay less money than they could previously. Whether or not this is a good thing depends entirely on the individual buyer.

While this has been a positive for Spanish property values, it has also resulted in some negative aspects. For example, the simultaneous introduction of a large scale of foreign investors has meant that there are now far more properties on the market than there were previously. However, investors are showing interest here, and some investors have already begun snapping up bargains and short sales as they pertain to the Spanish real estate sector.
