The property marktet in Spain - Corona crises

Will property prices go down? Well, many factors have an impact on housing prices:
- Supply and demand
- Interest rates
- The Economy
- Demographics

As the International Monetary Fund predicts that the Spanish GDP will contract by 8 percent during 2020, and that unemployment will soar above 20 percent, we can consider that the “Great Lockdown” crisis had a negative impact on Spanish housing prices.

Are Spanish property prices doomed to go down? Well, did you know that between 2008 and 2015, Spanish real estate prices decreased by 40%? Therefore, the previous crisis is going to be protective of real estate prices this time, to some extent.

Indeed, the good news is that there was no housing bubble in Spain before COVID-19 came, as we mentioned before. So, even if the Great Lockdown surely impacted the Spanish real estate market, it should not impact property prices as much as it will in other markets such as Australia or the United States, where analysts are predicting massive price drops.
