Pia’s Preferred… Marbella Beachfront Developments

It is surprisingly tricky to locate good beachfront property in Marbella – unless, of course you’re prepared to pay the incredible premiums that these exclusive locations demand.

For example, if you were to seek a 2 bed property on the highly sought-after and very elegant beachside Golden Mile of Marbella, you would struggle to find something for less than 650,000€.

However, we are now witnessing a surge of new-build developments that are providing some very interesting purchasing prospects. 

The first to grab the attention of local and international investors alike was Bahia Beach. It re-launched the first phase of previously distressed properties back to the market in 2012. These highly luxurious beachfront apartments and penthouses on the New Golden Mile had originally been priced at between 500,000€ - 900,000€. All of the properties and surrounding facilities were re-conditioned and re-marketed with 70% discounts from their original cost. Therefore, it was no surprise that the entire first phase of 113 properties sold out in only a fortnight –an unprecedented occurrence in a still delicate economy.

The second phase of Bahia Beach is now available. And though the prices have increased to match a steadier economy, they still offer some of the best opportunities with new 1-3 bed apartments and penthouses, located in a 5-star neighbourhood from only 206,000€. This is probably one of the best sales opportunities available right now.

More recently, American Investment Fund, RCS–Spain has also launched a stunning newly redeveloped resort on the New Golden Mile near to the exclusive leisure complex, Laguna Village. Golden Beach is a completely unique resort with unbeatable panoramic views across to Gibraltar and Africa. Similar to Bahia Beach, the more economical Golden Beach properties are being snapped up quickly so we urge investors to act quickly.

Also situated along the New Golden Mile is Horizon Beach. The same developer who sold 114 off-plan apartments in 2013 in just 11 months brings these beautiful apartments to market. Horizon Beach is a tranquil collection of just 36 apartments and penthouses with an infinity pool and direct access to the beach. Prices start at 300,000€. We do not expect them to be available for long.

Beachfront locations will always be the height of demand in Marbella and space is running out. If you’re looking for a new build property with sea views, we recommend that you act quickly to make the most of these excellent opportunities.

Recent statistics show that Spain has the largest amount of Swedish expats outside of Scandinavia. Of course this comes as no surprise to Blu Sun Consulting’s Estate Agent in Marbella, Pia Karstróm, who made the move herself nearly 10 years ago and is still happily settled in the foothills of Andalucia, just a stones-throw from the stunning Marbella coastline.

The regular low-cost flight connections help to sustain the influx of tourists to Marbella with Norwegian Air Shuttle, Scandinavian Airlines, Ryanair & Veuling all competing for landing space at the newly renovated Málaga airport. In fact, Málaga airport (also known as Pablo Ruiz Picasso airport) has always been the third busiest airport in the whole of Spain and now, following a €320 million update is very modern with 3 terminals, plentiful shops and restaurants, wifi availability and a child’s play area.

The regularity of the flights, convenience of the airport (only 45 minutes from the centre of Marbella) and many more infrastructure improvements that have been completed in recent years has aided the steadiness of tourism and property investments from economically stable countries such as Sweden. Whereas citizens from other countries have struggled to complete on purchases since the Marbella property crash in 2007, the Northern European buyers have taken advantage of good opportunity.

This year saw property prices in Marbella fall another 40% whereas property prices in Sweden continued to rise. Many real estate agents in Marbella, report that this situation has proved appealing for many Swedish and Scandinavian investors who have been able to secure excellent prices for luxury properties close to the beach or surrounded by golf.

La Cala Resort; 30% reduction Special offers including  Furniture & Decoration, Family Golf Membership, Green Fee & Spa Circuits.

An example of one of the most attractive deals currently available in Marbella is La Cala Golf. This is a small selection of townhouses, situated within a golf resort in an exclusive development of 102 luxury townhouses, alongside two fairways. The views are breathtaking as the properties are located within a natural retreat close to the mountains and sea. Currently the developer offers a fully inclusive price with all furnishing, golf membership and spa usage.

Real estate agents in Marbella have seen a notable increase in the amount of properties that were sold at the end of 2012. This is largely due to the tax incentives that were set by the government to stimulate the local property market. It is estimated that prices will steady and then commence an increase in the latter part of the year.

Pia Karström of Blu Sun Consulting always keeps up-to-date with the very best deals available at any time with stock available from the banks, developers and directly from the vendor.

Marbellas Växande Attraktion För Svenska Investerare

Lockelsen av Marbella har visat sig oemotståndlig för många svenska medborgare just nu som med förra årets siffror visar att nästan 120.000 anländer direkt till Málaga (motsvarar en 41% ökning av antalet från 2010 års siffror). Som svar på detta har 2012 sett en statligt finansierad "Bo i Costa del Sol" kampanj som belyser den stora förekomsten av Marbellas möjligheter till fastighetsinvesteringar som är tillgängliga. Kampanjen har för avsikt att öka medvetenheten och stimulera potentiella investerare med utställningar som har iscensatt hela Sverige under en 12 månaders period.

"Bo i Costa del Sol" Kampanjen är endast en av ett urval av projekt som för närvarande är inriktade på ett växande antal av försäljningen i Marbellas fastighetsmarknad. Pia Karström ägare av Blu Sun Consulting säger, "Marbella har så mycket potential just nu för utmärkta fastighetsinvesteringar. Jag kom hit för 10 år sedan och under den tiden har jag sett en stor förbättring i bygg disciplin. De lyxiga design och finish som vi brukade sträva efter att uppnå är standard dessa dagar och är möjliga till en rimlig kostnad. "

Pia fortsätter med att säga "Jag har aldrig ångrat min egen flytt från Sverige. Jag älskar allt som Marbella har att erbjuda. Med Marbellas fastighetspriser som nu finns, är i en annan liga till dem som jag bevittnade när jag först kom. Nu är det dags att investera för att göra en vinst.

Lyxfastigheter lockande för Svenska investerare

Pia använder nyutgivna Los Arqueros Strandnära projekt som ett exempel på de stora möjligheter som nu finns tillgängliga i Marbella. Utvecklaren av detta projekt har nyligen gett ytterligare rabatter på sina priser. En 3 sovrum lägenhet i allra bästa San Pedro läge startar från bara €195.000 (tidigare €205.000). Detta komplex är av särskilt hög kvalitet, från en betrodd byggkonstruktör vars namn överensstämmer med många av Marbella största egendoms framgångar. Den första etappen av dessa Strandnära lägenheter kommer att vara klar i juni 2014 och nu kan man reservera för endast €6.000 för att säkra de bästa priserna.

Pia förklarar "eftersom de föreslagna ändringarna i skattelagstiftningen och internationella uppehållstillstånds avtalet träder i kraft kommer fastighetsaffärer som denna inte längre vara tillgänglig i Marbella. 2013 väntas man se en mer stabil fastighetsmarknad i Spanien och därför kommer byggare och säljare att vara mer benägna att hålla fast egendom för de högre priser som dom är säkra på kommer att komma. "

Lyxiga Strandnära Lägenheter Nedsatta Nu €195.000

Och även höga invandrings siffror förväntas fortsätta från Sverige och andra liknande länder där solen inte finns i sådan mängd, att mättnaden av goda kvalitets fastigheter i de centrala områdena som inte längre kommer att förekomma. I synnerhet strandnära områden som är populära bland skandinaver, som San Pedro de Alcántara och Elviria, kommer att se mindre och mindre av fastigheter med hög kvalitet som kommer ut på Marbellas fastighetsmarknad (SCB förutspår att den höga siffran 2008 med 45.000 invånare som lämnade Sverige och som stadigt ökar, kommer att fortsätta fram till 2060).
