Buying Property in Majorca - Majorca Climate Guidelines

The climate in Majorca

 

The climate of Majorca is typical of much of the Mediterranean. The summers are very hot, yet in the winter temperatures remain mild and considerably warmer than in Northern Europe. Rainfall is generally fairly low especially during the summer. In the Autumn around October time the rains come and this through to January is considered the wettest time of the year. With the rain in October and November known as the winters spring, the landscape changes and many plants burst into life sprouting leaves, even blooming. In the Autumn there is still a very good chance of seeing the sunshine for many days. Temperatures have in recent years held up very well in October. In 2004 record temperatures were reported (3 years after the solar maximum). November is cooler and the winter is near. It is still often pleasantly warm for several hours a day although the nights can be quite chilly especially in the mountains of the north west. If you are sitting out in the midday sun during the winter in Majorca it can be quite hot in a t shirt. Considerably more comfortable than one might be in Manchester or London at this time of year. Head to the south and east for the best temperatures and shelter from the Serra da Tramuntana. With fewer tourists the winter is still a good time to visit with reduced rental rates on accommodation.

 

Come the middle of February and spring is already in the air. The scenery is blessed with the stunning Almond blossoms covering Majorca's countryside. Longer days, more light and increasing temperatures make spring the ideal time to visit.

 

The island is mild almost all year long and low levels of precipitation on the island make it an ideal holiday destination. During the high season which runs from July through to August rain is an almost unheard of phenomenon and the sunshine's almost every day. The average temperature in July is around 24ºC. In January it is approximately 11ºC.

 

The islands geography, particularly the Tramuntana Mountains in the north provide shelter from the wind and rain. As a result precipitation in the south of the island is considerably lower than in the north. Despite the possibility of rain out of season Majorca has many more sunny days than countries in northern Europe. In January there is still an average of 5 hours of sunshine per day!

Invest in Spanish Property in the Downturn...

Average Spanish property prices rose by 0.4% over 12 months to the end of September, but fell by 1.3% in the third quarter, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Housing.

Taking into account consumer price inflation, which stood at 4.5% in September, the real cost of housing has fallen by 4.1% over the last 12 months.

Newly built property prices rose by 1.7% over 12 months, but fell by 0.8% in the quarter. Resale or 'second hand' property, which the Ministry of Housing defines as more than 2 years old, fell by 0.3% over 12 months, and by 1.7% in the quarter.

On a yearly basis, average prices rose by as much as 5.9% in the Andalucian province of Huelva, home to the Costa de la Luz, and by 4.9% in the province of Valencia, in the Valencian Region. Average prices also rose in Galicia (+3.7%), Barcelona (+3.5%), Teruel (+3.5%), Almeria (+3.3%), Tarragona (+3.3%), Cadiz (+2.8%), Seville (+2%), the Balearics (+1.7%), Pontevedra (+1.2%), Girona (+1.2%), Asturias (+1.1%), and Granada (+0.5%).

Average prices fell in all other regions, the most in Madrid (-3.7%), Cantabria (-3.0%), Las Palmas (-2.5%), Tenerife (-1.7%), Castellon (-1.5%), Alicante (-1.5%), Malaga (-0.7%), Cordoba (-0.5%), Murcia (-0.5%), and Extremadura (-0.4%).

The problem is, few people actually believe the Ministry of Housing's figures, which show average Spanish property prices still rising in nominal terms in the middle of a property market crash. Countries with more reliable housing market statistics, such as the US, the UK and Ireland, all have property prices falling by double digits, and are probably a better guide to the true situation in Spain. It is fair to assume that Spanish property prices are down by a similar amount, and by as much as 20% in coastal areas full of holiday homes.

If the Ministry of Housing's figures still look wildly optimistic, new data from Tinsa, one of Spain's leading appraisal companies, looks slightly more credible. According to Tinsa, Spanish property prices fell by 4.9% over 12 months to the end of September, and by 5.9% in the first 9 months of 2008. As with the government's figures, resale prices fell more than newly built prices, probably because private vendors have more room for manoeuvre on price than developers.

According to Tinsa, 75,000 new properties were sold in the second quarter of the year, the equivalent of 41% of the number of homes finished in the period, which drove up the inventory of new homes to 680,000.

Tinsa estimates there will no more than 300,000 transactions in all 2008, implying that the stock of unsold new homes will rise to 930,000 by year end.

Tinsa expects the inventory of new homes to keep rising into 2009, as construction on current housing developments finishes, and that it will take at least 2 years for the market to digest the housing overhang.

Property Bargains in Spain and Majorca

Property bargains in Spanish recesssion

By Sue Brown, Dec 2009

The property bargains are likely to continue in Spain , now one of the few Eurozone countries still in recession after it emerged that the Republic of Ireland has seen a return to economic growth.

Fresh figures revealed that Ireland's Gross National Product (GDP) increased by 0.3 per cent in the third quarter of this year, while Eurostat figures for Spain revealed a 0.3 per cent decline.

Spain and Greece are now among the few users of the euro still in a downturn, while the UK is the only G20 country still in recession

Those keen to invest in the Spanish real estate sector may wish to take advantage of the lower prices and many Spanish bank repossession property evident greater weakness of its economy to pick up bargains in 2010. Hard pressed developers are offering big discounts on key ready homes.

However, those hoping for a Spanish economic turnaround to help property investments gain in value will have noted that this fall followed declines of 1.1 per cent, 1.3 per cent and 1.1 per cent in the previous three quarters.

Best Time to Buy Property in Spain

Recently an influential annual report was published by Acuna & Asociados who are highly regarded Madrid real estate analysts. Their report makes depressing reading given that they do not think the Spanish property market will recover for several years.

Indeed, at current rates of demand (around 200,000 properties per year) it may take some six to seven years to clear just the existing housing stock for sale.

Certainly, there is an inordinate amount of property for sale on the Spanish marketplace. According to Acuna & Asociados there are some 1.67 million properties for sale in Spain.

These comprise some 500,000 new builds, some 470,000 new builds yet to be completed and around 500,000 re-sales. It is quite likely that the estimated number of resales is very conservative given the amount of properties privately for sale that will not be registered formally anywhere.

Meanwhile the Spanish economy is in meltdown. Unemployment is currently somewhere around 19% with Citibank predicting that it will rise to 22% and Acuna & Asociados to 25%.

The collapse of the Spanish construction industry has impacted not just on its associated industries but on the population at large who have been caught in a lethal vortex. As more people lose their jobs so more properties come onto the market - often with distress sale prices.

Unfortunately, there are no apparent 'quick fixes' for the Spanish economy which is also being hurt by the world credit crunch. Socialist Prime Minister Zapatero has tried to stimulate the economy with his much publicised Plan E.

However, this is due to cease soon due to lack of further funds and has done little other than reduce the very short term unemployment figures. These will, obviously, rise once Plan E stops and as Spain goes into the winter period when any tourist related employment reduces radically.

So, what does all this mean for Spanish property buyers and sellers?

Well, as a seller of Spanish property, it is obviously bad news – particularly if you bought within two years or so of the boom. In this case, it is unlikely that you will recover your money for some considerable time to come.

Worse still, the sheer quantity of other properties for sale (including many genuine distress sales) means that you will be entering a savagely unforgiving market place. Indeed, the only consolation (for British sellers) will be the strength of the Euro over Sterling which may mitigate any drop in their Euro sale price.

As a buyer, of course, matters are very different. Virtually everything is for sale and you can now pick up bargains throughout Spain almost everywhere you look. However, this does not mean that you can be careless. Far from it. Indeed, uppermost in your mind, at all times, should be the adage that 'not everything that is cheap is a good buy'.

In fact, you should not even think of buying unless you know intimately how to tell whether a property is fully legal or not. Furthermore, you must be able to assess objectively what will make a long term sound investment.

As always, the key to a sound investment is its ease of resaleability. However, establishing resaleability is often less easy than it sounds when you are in a foreign country with a particularly complex marketplace involving not just native buyers but also a very significant proportion of foreigners from an array of different countries.

Without doubt, the Spanish property crash has produced some excellent bargain buys. These exist now and are well worth exploiting. However, the question is whether property prices in Spain have now reached their bottom?

My own feeling is that prices still have around 10% further to drop. This will be an unpopular 'call' but the sheer numbers of property currently for sale together with an economy in freefall means that any optimism at the moment is hard to justify objectively.

At the end of the day property, like any other commodity, is subject to supply and demand and at the moment, there is far more supply than demand. Until this readjusts, prices will continue to drop and the Spanish property market will remain very weak for the forseeable future.

Of course, if you are thinking of buying a Spanish property then your next question may be 'when will it be a good time to buy?'

Well, I cannot help feeling that the desire to make untold money on property is somewhat distasteful. Surely, the primary aim of moving (particularly to a foreign country) and buying a property is about obtaining a better quality of life than you have currently - preferably as soon as possible?

To place life 'on hold' whilst waiting for a market to guarantee a 'profitable' investment seems somewhat short sighted given life's brevity and uncertainty.

This is not say that you should not be very careful. However, now I think the emphasis should be on buying a property that will retain its value long term – as opposed to being purely focussed on the profit that it will, or could, make. Those days, in Spain, are, for the time being, largely over.

That does not, in any way, diminish the valid reasons for coming to Spain which should be about delighting in the genuinely superb quality of life still on offer. Little has changed in that regard – it is just that combining this with a guaranteed short term profitable property investment is less valid.

In short, I suspect, that the prices of Spanish property will hit their low point probably in the spring of 2010. However, that is not to say that you cannot now pick up a heavily discounted property - and one that will prove to be a good purchase for the future.

If you are planning to move to Spain then, give or take, this is about as good a time as any. However, be prepared to drive a hard bargain - as I believe that the market has some time to go before it stabalises...

Self Hypnosis

In this modern world people have mistaken the concept of hypnosis. Strangely the television hasn't helped this belief. Many think that hypnosis is meant for humour on the cabaret stage and has little transition into our daily life.

I was explaining to my young teenage children that I remember seeing live pictures of men walking on the moon back in the 1960's. Amazingly I couldn't explain fully why further visits haven't been made. But what did come to mind, and I'm sure I've said it before myself... Why visit a distant planet when we can't cure the common cold; or have answers to why our devilish ego makes us do foolish things.

Using the various techniques involved in this type of hypnosis, you can get people to do what you want them to do. These techniques can be easily learnt, if you are willing to put in some effort and invest some time towards it.

Bizarre as it may seem we dip in and out of hypnotic states each day. Understanding this and exploring its potential allows us to put flying to the moon on hold for a few decades.

Hypnosis has gained in popularity over time. More and more people have become interested in the whole concept behind this subject and how it works.

This literally blew my mind, though now it seems obvious. A hypnotist isn't sending out magical brain-waves to put other people into trance. They only help us find that state within ourselves. We are the ones that are creating the bodily sensations and thoughts. That's why the more you trance you experience the better you get at it.

Hypnosis is effective to make a person capable of controlling his mind and overcome several problems related to the mind. Hypnosis will help to interact with the unconscious mind of a person.

Most people think of hypnosis as a way of controlling someone and getting them to do things they usually would not do. Dictionary describes hypnosis as a sleep-like state or to be in a state that resembles sleep. But most hypnotist disagree with the statement that hypnosis has anything with the sleep rather they believe that it is heightened state of acute awareness.

Hypnosis then, using a hypnotists definition, is an altered state of consciousness... and in one way or another we have all experienced a light version of it - daydreaming being a good example.

Some of the hypnotists also believe it can direct their subject's focus mind and communicating with the subject's subconscious mind. The goal it to distract the conscious mind and avoid the resistance often given by the conscious mind.

Perhaps the greatest of all hypnosis secrets is the fact that it really is not that hard to learn. So many people are intrigued behind the subject and wish they knew how to hypnotize someone.

Hypnotizing others is much easier than most people think. Confidence is the critical factor for your hypnosis success. If you don't have confidence, then you will probably fail. But if you start your hypnosis practice with confidence then you will have positive attitude and succeed in this way.

This literally blew my mind, though now it seems obvious. A hypnotist isn't sending out magical brain-waves to put other people into trance. They only help us find that state within ourselves. We are the ones that are creating the bodily sensations and thoughts. That's why the more you trance you experience the better you get at it.

The most powerful way to hypnotize someone is through what is called covert hypnosis, which is also known as conversational hypnosis or Ericksonian hypnosis. With this method you can literally walk up to a complete stranger, hold a conversation with them and induce them into a trance.

Through hypnosis, you technically can influence the behaviour of others and lead them in a particular direction. You can do this in a way that they would normally resist. In general, it is a tool that increases suggestibility.

People may have heard of the 'sugar pill' illusion. This is where they are given a medication to solve a temporary illness; and claim to feel the medication taking effect. When in reality it was only a sugar pill, with no medicinal composition at all. Meaning of course... it is all in the mind.

Hypnosis can help you alter your subconscious to achieve and overcome your weight loss goals and obstacles. There are specific hypnosis techniques that were developed to help you stop smoking. You can learn to get the best performance from your body by using your mind.

Such exploration of the power of the mind is both intriguing and fascinating. The best way to explore this subject further is to visit our Hypnotic Underworld and develop these skills yourself.

Credit Crunch and Spanish Property

Spanish & Mallorca Property Market Report - December 2008
By David Novi

The Spanish property market was the European market most likely to crash when the credit crisis hit. Here we examine the ingredients of disaster

With Spain arguably the number one destination for British buyers of foreign residential property - for investment, second homes, or retirement in the sun - it is hardly surprising that there is so much interest in the Spanish property market. Hardly a day goes by without some ‘crisis on the costas’ story in the press, bemoaning the collapse of prices and demand, fully illustrated with images of half-built apartment complexes and swathes of empty sun-drenched villas!

Some interesting facts and figures
• Spanish house price inflation was 5% in 1998, rose to 17.75% in 2004 and slumped to 5% in 2007.
• Property prices increased 2.2 times in real terms between 1996 and 2006.

Spanish homeowners face tricky times

Sunbathers on a beach in San Sebastian

Will homeowners get their fingers burnt as the property market dips?

For people looking to find a place in the Spanish sun, the past few days have been far from glorious.

Fears of a crash in the Spanish housing market, prompted by a sell-off in property shares, have made life uncomfortable for thousands of Brits who own homes or are looking to take the plunge and buy abroad.

But these worries have not deterred one would-be buyer.

"There are a lot of negatives around and I have no doubt that property values will go down in the short term," says Richard Leigh, from Wiltshire, who is buying a flat near Estepona, a town at the western end of the Costa del Sol.

"In the long term, I think prices will come back quite quickly. For those who hold their nerve and hang on, I don't think there will be a problem in a couple of years time."

Valencia Loses 750,000 Passengers and 750 Jobs

This report could imply a slight impact on property prices in the Valencia area as the cost of flights will increase from other airlines as competition is lost. Meaning less visitors and less demand for property.

Ryanair, Europe’s leading low fares airline, today (24th Oct) announced the closure of its base at Valencia following the refusal of the Comunitat Valenciana to engage in constructive discussions in relation to the promotion of the airport and its routes across Ryanair’s network in Europe. The closure will lead to a loss of over 70 weekly Ryanair flights, 750,000 passengers p.a. and over 750 jobs in the region.
