Gran Canaria Property: Coronavirus Market Update
At the end of 2019, before the world realised how dangerous the Coronavirus was, I wrote a Gran Canaria property guide for 2020. I predicted a slight drop in property prices on the island.
The market showed signs of a slowdown with February sales figures across Spain down 6% year-on-year.
However, all bets and predictions were off once the Coronavirus pandemic took hold. We are now in uncharted territory and won’t know the full effect on Gran Canaria property for some time. [Read more…]

Las Palmas Property 2020: Local Market Insight
Every year, I write a guide to the current state of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria property market and give my predictions for the next 12 months. Here’s the Las Palmas property 2020 report.

On a local scale we have a deflating touristic bubble in Gran Canaria, the collapse of Thomas Cook, a decline in holiday rental investment and a big increase in new-build property. [Read more…]

Las Canteras Beachfront Property: How Much Is It Worth?
Beachfront property along Las Canteras beach is in its own price bracket and often hard to value accurately.
This is due to several factors.
- Las Canteras property doesn’t come onto the market that often because beachfront owners tend to hold on to their apartments for a long time.
- Many are owned by non-residents who earn a rental income as well as using them for holidays.
- They have significant intangible valuation factors such as the desirability of the outdoor space.
However, since I’ve had four beachfront apartments for sale this year I have a clear idea of what their market value is in 2019. [Read more…]

2019: The Year Of New Build Property In Las Palmas
Now that Gran Canaria property prices have risen for several years, new build property in Las Palmas is becoming far more common.
You can’t walk for five minutes in the Puerto and Guanarteme districts without finding a new building site.
So far, the few new build properties that have hit the market sold fast at a premium to the second-hand property market. However, this could well change as the supply of new property increases. [Read more…]
