Hondón Villas Make the Right Things Happen…

After a torrid Covid-19 year, which of course effected all avenues of our lives, relationships and work, the last 5 months have thankfully pulled us all up in Spanish Real Estate. It got busy again ;-)

So, it’s great to be back at full steam in the Hondón Valley, selling dream homes to new buyers who want their place in the sun. Like Ruth and Peter who have just purchased an awesome 5 Bed luxury and immaculate villa + guest apartment in the Hondón countryside.

This quick sale was particularly sweet for us as the vendors were very keen to return to the UK post-covid restrictions to be with family, but also their villa begged to be maintained to its high standards and luxury. We know Ruth and Peter will be so happy there.

Congratulations to them and a big thank you to them for their great reviews on social media. The Hondón Villas team are happy we did a good job again.

Hondon Agent in the AIPP for over 7 years

Like many many others coming to the area from the UK, we have found Maureen to provide an ‘above and beyond’ service and we wonder where she gets the energy. There was no pushiness, no hard selling, she just listened to us, guided us, and in the end she knew more about what we wanted than we did! I was particularly struck by the fair and even attention shown to both seller and buyer, and I was really impressed by the level of professionalism balanced with care and consideration.

Maureen is a unique estate agent in my view, and listens to every word. She left me thinking about one of my favourite sayings – there are three kinds of people – those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. Maureen definitely makes things happen, but importantly she makes the right things happen, and I would not hesitate in recommending her agency.”

New Listings for the Hondon Valley

Well the real estate market is picking up a treat now travel is less restricted to/from different areas and countries… The summer looks promising with 10+ sales over June & July already. Many of our prospects have kept good on their word to turn up in the Hondon Valley area as soon as Covid measures allowed. Great news indeed.

So the Spanish property market is moving again. Many agents in the Hondón Valley area are reporting brisk business again and vendors are coming forward to list their Hondón area homes for sale.

So here are just a few of the 40+ homes new to market for May, June and July… Of course, if you are interested, please note the property reference #ID and get in touch via www.hondonvillas.net.

Boom! Boom! Real Estate Growth in 2022/23

Finally, some good news for the diminished Spanish Real Estate industry… or at least a promising prediction for a better post-Covid, post-Brexit property market in Spain.

Is the Spanish property market about to turn from buyer dominance to seller dominance?

This news comes courtesy of FotoCasa and Gonzalo Bernardos (economist, analyst and professor at the University of Barcelona). He says, there is real potential for a Spanish real estate boom in 2022 and 2023 and could see some area prices rise and sales increase by 10 to 15% in the next two years. [Source: fotocasa.es]

Gonzalo Bernardos: “A new real estate boom begins”

Since the 2008 Crash, buyers have had the upper hand even with property losing 25/40% of their value. There have and still are some incredible bargains to be had in rural markets. Like this 5 bedroom villa near to Hondón Valley / La Romana for just 179,950€uro. e.g.

Gonzalo forecasts: increases in property transactions and prices and a promising future for those who want to sell homes in good condition. Buyers, on the other hand, will no longer have the privileged position they have enjoyed in the last two years.

The predicted downturn due to Covid-19 was not as bad as predicted, apparently. Gonzalo says the current market is very satisfactory, since the real estate crisis generated by Covid-19 has been much better than expected, with 2020 house purchases down by 14.5%. It was helped by very low interest rates, more banks granting mortgages, and a surprising demand for housing during the pandemic. The banks finally being the ally of the Realtor… in April 2021, financial institutions granted 31% more mortgages than the monthly average for 2019. Plus, the general populace have proved a nation of savers and have more disposable income than in the last 30 years.

Spain is also predicting a growth in GDP… 6% in 2021 and 7% in 2022. If this materialises then financial confidence will return. People will move and improve their lives.

So fingers crossed, Gonzalo is correct with his property market predictions… “Due to all the above reasons, the logical result is the appearance of a new real estate boom in 2022 and 2023. In 2021, the price in the second half of the year will grow more than it fell in the first and, at the end of the year, the rise can be around 3%. The transactions will accompany and rise 15%. In 2022, the price increase will approach 10% and sales around 15%. Undoubtedly, all this constitutes a magnificent situation for professionals in the real estate sector,

#Loveit – A Place in the Sun TV Show

Just how many years has the UK TV show “A Place In The Sun” been going? How many people, we wonder, has it inspired to up sticks to a better life abroad or buy a holiday home in another country? Countless and many no doubt.

Visit the APITS website for more information.

We loved the show years ago and still do. We remember watching, during those cold UK winter months, the many couples on their dream journey. And with some envy and awe of a better lifestyle in the sunshine.

Well, back in the early 2000s we were stuck in a corporate work life and burning out. Those pictures of blues skies and Al Fresco tapas bars sure inspired us and many more to move to abroad. In our case, it was Spain.

15 years ago, after a few trips to look for a dream villa, we moved to the Hondón Valley, to work at a slower pace, enjoy the warmer climes and address the work/life balance we had got so wrong in England. Working from home at first, we set up a simple real estate portal (hondon.co.uk) in Feb’ 2006. It was to then become Hondon Villas.

And we are still here, having listed and sold selling 1000’s of properties in the Hondon Valley areas. #localagent

And what is so nice is we have now helped APITS with their TV program quite a few times (pinch ourselves!). It sure generates a vibe in the local area when we know APITS is in town, often catching the famous presenters, like Jasmine, Jonnie or Laura in the village squares. Of course then the local Expats want to see the show when it is eventually broadcast on UK Channel 4.

So, yes, we have to thank APITS for the inspiration, really. Giving us that window into a life abroad was definitely via the TV, was the catalyst for our journey. We have no regrets making the move. It is what you make it of course and there will be highs and lows, but you’ll be thankful for the tranquil pace, culture, food and social aspects for sure if you make even the smallest effort to play. Thankfully, the APITS TV prog’ still inspires so many to make a life-changing move to Spain, and NOW we get to meet them and share our story.

Happy! ;-)

NOTE: You can find more information about A Place in the Sun on their website, Twitter or Facebook pages. You can still apply to be on their program too.

You can also catch past series and episodes of A Place in the Sun on the ALL4 website. Plus, for new buyers, they still run the Property Exhibitions in the UK (they are well worth a visit).
