Reasons for price increase
How is it possible that houses in La Oliva have increased so much in price in such a short period of time?
In addition to the market’s own tendency to the natural rise in prices after a real estate crisis as intense as the one we experienced in Spain since 2008, these are other reasons that have led to the fact that today, houses in La Oliva cost twice as much as they did 10 years ago.
- International demand: La Oliva attracts more and more European buyers every year in search of sun, sea and telecommuting.
- Unique location: The beaches of Corralejo, the waves of El Cotillo or the natural environment of Lajares are hard to match.
- Little supply available: The lack of new developments in the most sought-after areas keeps prices under pressure.
- Safe investment: Many buyers are looking to protect their money in housing in the face of inflation and product shortages.
- Paralysis of construction: The lack of construction for more than 15 years has exacerbated the housing shortage problem in the archipelago
