The hope that prices drop, high unemployment and difficulties in getting a mortgage have led to the housing market to a record low. The sale of flats fell by 5.7% in the first quarter over the same period a year earlier to 70,228 operations, according to the Ministry of Development. This is the lowest volume of purchases from the real estate bubble burst in 2008.
Gone are those quarters in which property was sold up to 250,000 per quarter. The transactions recorded between January and March also assume the worst figure since 2004, the year in which the statistical series started, and show the difficulties they are having developers, banks and individuals to get rid of stock. And to sell it had to lower prices on average another 7.2% during that period.
New housing is the most suffering: sales fall by 32.7%, so that only one of every four homes sold is opening. The second-hand properties rebound by 9.1%. In all transactions, the steepest declines were registered in the Basque Country (28.7%), Cantabria (28.4%), Navarre (23.1%) and La Rioja (22.3%). The purchases were up especially in Aragon (21.2%), Catalonia (17.7%), Canary Islands (10.9%) and Ceuta and Melilla (10.2%).
Neither the reduced VAT rate (4%) for housing or the recovery of the tax credit for purchase in the income of 2011 have served so far to revive the market. Experts believe that economic uncertainty, high unemployment (24%) and difficulties in obtaining funding hamper the market. In addition, potential buyers are waiting for prices to fall further, driven by new capital requirements for banks in the financial reforms introduced.
Although the Spanish economy is in recession and banking to the brink of ransom for their high level of real estate assets, the price of housing is resistant to collapse. From their peak in the first quarter of 2008, which ended the long housing boom mirage, the cumulative decline in prices was 22% in nominal terms (27% in real terms), according to Bank of Spain. During this period, investment in housing has trimmed its weight in GDP from 12.5% to less than 7% in 2011.
With or without crisis, there is a trend that does not change: sheltered housing (priced are priced and provide for assistance for lower income families) account for less than 10% of the operations (8.8% of the total, ie 6,182 transactions).
Buyers residing in Spain bought just over 8,000 homes, almost 20% more, especially on the coast and islands (Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Barcelona and the Balearic Islands).
