If you have a real estate property in Fuerteventura that you can sell, you may think that the market is favorable to the interests of the owner, with demand exceeding supply and with house prices on the rise, due to the growing interest of buyers and investors, especially foreigners with higher purchasing power than the local population.
However, not everything is favorable to the interests of profitability of homeowners in Fuerteventura; Below, we indicate factors to be taken into account to oppose the sale of a house in Fuerteventura:
High demand for real estate by foreigners
Currently, half of the houses that are purchased are by foreigners.
The increasing number of direct flights from various cities in the United Kingdom has led to greater access for these tourists, in addition to Germans and Italians, who are the most popular nationalities on the island.
Foreign buyers are looking for quality of life, return on investment and a paradisiacal environment in Fuerteventura properties; they especially like urbanizations of new villas in Fuerteventura. They especially like new villa developments in Fuerteventura, with services in the area and golf courses, as in the case of the urban project The Elysian Collection, which stands out for its panoramic terraces and applies technology to provide housing comfort and sustainability, which are factors that are aligned with local institutions, which seek to protect the natural environment, beauty and quality of life of Fuerteventura.
The real estate development is located in Caleta de Fuste, a well connected place, which can be accessed from other high level real estate investment destinations, such as Corralejo, Costa Calma and Jandia, which share common characteristics, such as proximity to beaches, tourist attractions and services. Fuerteventura has in its favor, compared to other island destinations in Spain, that it is even more accessible real estate market and with a high potential for revaluation.
Conditions for real estate investors in Fuerteventura
The growing interest in buying property on the island is due not only to foreigners who want to spend long stays on the island or establish their habitual residence in Fuerteventura.
The impetus also comes from these groups:
- local population, young majoreros who want to emancipate on the island and families who want to maintain their residence in Fuerteventura,
- real estate investors seeking return on investment, especially with vacation rentals and home appreciation.
In both cases, the price of the houses is a fundamental factor. For the majoreros, because they cannot afford prices as high as those assumed by foreign buyers, with a greater economic capacity. And as for the investors, in order for the profitability calculation to be positive, they need to buy at prices lower than what the real estate market dictates.

In other areas, however, with a lower average price, there are higher increases, such as the 13.5% increase in the price of housing in Puerto del Rosario, compared to last year.
The area where your property is located, and its characteristics, will determine whether it is a suitable product to be offered for sale to tourists, as a purchase by residents or for investment.
Not all houses have a good outlet to the market, so they have to adjust to the price that can be offered by local buyers and investors.
A good valuation of the property, before putting it up for sale, is essential in order to achieve a quick sale without having to lower the price.
