INVEST IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET
Most people choose to invest in real estate in Spain for several reasons. The real estate market itself is growing, rental prices are skyrocketing, and properties are undergoing progressive revaluation. Most of those who invest in real estate in Spain either buy a property to rent it, purchase a property for vacation rental, or refurbish real estate and sell it again. A key advantage of investing in real estate in Spain is that non-EU nationals can gain legal residency in a few short months, provided that they buy a property worth at least €500K.
BEST PLACES TO INVEST IN SPAIN
The best places to invest in Spain, according to foreign investors themselves, are Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, Costa Blanca, Majorca, and Marbella. And the best type of investment to make is through a property investment. This is because investors can receive competitive returns in a top-performing housing market, with international buyers already making up around 20% of all property transactions in Spain.
For property investment, the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza are considered one of the best places to invest in Spain because of the significant number of tourists they attract each year. Meanwhile, Costa Blanca is a favorite for investors looking to make an affordable investment, with an apartment costing around €70,000 and above, with big investment potential in golf courses and amenities.
For decades, Barcelona has attracted tourists, entrepreneurs, corporations and real estate investors. Yet the reasons to buy a property in the Spanish city keep multiplying. The city is now one of the world’s favourite travel locations. Barcelona places in the global top five, alongside London, New York, Paris and Rome. A constant stream of visitors makes it easy and profitable to rent a property. Barcelona is among the first ‘smart’ cities in Europe, with fantastic internet speed andconnectivity, high security and innovative services. Booming tech businesses mean great employment opportunities and a thriving local economy. Foreign investment is soaring. More than 5,000 overseas companies have offices in Barcelona. In the past years, more than 100 major business projects launched in the city, Barcelona welcomes investors. Interest rates are low and are expected to remain low in the medium term.

It is the perfect place to run around with a high-end car, moor a yacht in the famous Puerto Banus and visit the best local restaurants.

The Marbella “area” is the most year-round tourist destination of all the Spanish Costas. Here, there are enough residents even during the winter months.
