Spanish Property Growth in 2018

Official Notary figures show that the Spanish property market grew by 12% in 2018, compared to 16% in 2017… which continues the steady growth since 2014 when the market started to recover from that faithful 2008 crash that saw house prices and sales plummet. (src Spanish Property Insight). Alicante region saw a 15% increase.

Hondon Villas, your local AIPP Property Agent

Hondon Villas are in the AIPP“Caring and serving you in the Hondon Valley”. Hondon Villas is owned and managed by Maureen Cook who has over 30 years experience in Real Estate (UK and Spain).

Maureen set-up her own profitable estate agency office in Leeds, UK over 30 years ago. That office is still trading today. Maureen has also successfully managed a string of profitable UK based estate agency offices including large branches for the Halifax, Manning Stainton, Your Move and Bairstow Eves – all main players in the UK property market.

Moving to Spain about 14 years ago, she joined Medsea Estate PLC as a Property sales Agent. Having completed 100’s of Inspection Trips along the Costa Blanca, she soon found herself the top female property sales agent with an average conversion rate of 70%. With the 2008 financial crash and subsequent fall in Spanish Property markets, she voluntarily left Medsea to then later start-up Hondon Villas, her local Spanish property market. She realised many Expats after the boom years now wanted to sell up to go home or relocate, but also that the post-boom cheaper property would attract a new generation of investors and buyers. There was also very few trained and experienced real estate agent services in the Hondón Valley then.

As seen on A Place in the SunBuilding up a rapport and reputation didn’t take long and her first office was open 8 years ago. Going from strength to strength Hondon Villas has moved to better premises to the Frailes Plaza with more staff, more foot traffic and better prospects. Her 2nd office opened in Nieves Plaza in the summer of 2018.

The Hondon Valley property market has bucked the trend and still remains a “secret” with British, Dutch and Belguique buyers and the Spanish economy has slowly recovered from the 2008 crash. Each year Hondon Villas have never been so busy! … and we can report a record year in 2018.

As well as this wealth of experience, Maureen is a confident, professional and extremely friendly person. Her positive attitude to customer service, is second to none. And it shows, as she is constantly recommended by her clients to others.

Don’t get Ripped-off in Hondon

We know Estate Agents and Builders don’t in general have a great reputation in Spain and with good reason during those boom years!

Maureen, owner and manager of HondonVillasUnfortunately, there are signs it still happens, even in this quaint old valley. That saddens us greatly at Hondon Villas because it is a too wide a brush stroke that hurts the ones trying to work damn hard to ensure buyers and sellers get a good deal with the minimum of fuss and hassle.

We know of a few “outside” agents visiting Hondon Valley with their clients who might follow that old shady path – in the UK we would call it a “rip-off” (and we have many instances of concrete and anecdotal evidence). These shady characters can be hard to spot if you are inexperienced and you put your trust in every word they utter. Don’t get mugged by double glazing sales tactics or untrained agents!

Or best advice is to be a little wary, slow down, don’t be rushed into anything, or give away your money quickly or sign something you don’t understand… but better still CALL Hondon Villas – we are local, experienced and AIPP trusted here.

“Rip-off” is NOT something we entertain or condone.

So if you are uncomfortable with the actions, language, pressure sales or promises from other estate agents… just call us – WE WILL HELP YOU 100% – we want to be the model of quality service that other agents envy!

At Hondon Villas we firmly believe the cream rises to the top. The shady ones will curdle it for you and that bad taste may cost you more than you bargained for now and in years to come.

Thank you, from the Hondon Villas Team in the beautiful and peaceful Hondon Valley, Costa Blanca South.

WOW! Millions Know about Hondón

Our IT people are telling us that our very own Hondon Villas websites have passed the 1.5 million visitors mark. INCREDIBLE to think we are such a small area and a real estate niche for inland Spain.

Record sale and visitors in 2018

To think that when we arrived in Hondon, Spain 13 years ago, there was no information on the web about the Hondón Valley. (even Google hadn’t found it back then LOL!) Yet the area still retains the same Spanish charm and has changed little really. For sellers this is great news as the local economy thrives on property sales and a new influx of buyers looking for that typically tranquil Spanish country lifestyle.

What’s more… that figure does no include the 10,000’s of visitors to our international portals and marketing partners, like A Place in the Sun, Right Move, Kyero, Prime Location and more. WOW again!

So selling through Hondon Villas gets you plenty of exposure, maybe that’s one of the reasons why we sell more houses in the area than any other local agent!

Thank you from a VERY HAPPY TEAM!
