Make Misery The Daily Message

September 26, 2008 in Media Misery Mongering by admin | 1 comment

I read this post on the Buying Property In Poland blog today and it made me smile. In particular whilst mentioning the depressing reading in London’s newspapers Tim Hill says they “… make misery the daily message”.

I know some people are struggling – the poll on this site tells me there are a few of you – but I wonder, what’s the benefit of focusing on the bad stuff?

I’m not suggesting we put our heads in the sand and pretend nothing’s happening, but there’s so much good happening too, thank Yoda (or God or whatever deity you choose!)

So, for the Friday post, let’s think of the good stuff too. (The post for Monday will make less smiley reading (some facts and figures from the INE.es, Spain’s national statistics body)).

So add in the comments section below all the great reasons for buying in Spain…

    In Huelva, and I am sure the rest of Spain, because of the all the reasons we know about (but that are not to be named because we are being positive :) – there are some absolute bargains to be found.

    The area I live in was going up in price at an astounding rate because of planned urbanisation. That all stopped with the ´CXXXXX´ so they are now coming back down with the Spanish in particular off-loading extra properties REALLY cheap.

    Many, many Spaniards have several properties for example on in the town or city and one by the beach. Those in more rural areas will often have several fincas or plots themselves or within the family. To raise a bit of extra cash they are selling these off cheaply. Remember these are not necessarily distressed sales because it is not their main residence, which can often make them even cheaper, because the owners do not need to sell at a high price to be able to buy another house.

    Forget the estate agents, go talk to the local cafe owner, shop assistant, anyone Spanish you come across and ask if they know anyone who is selling. You will always find someone, who knows someone……. This works particularly well in smaller towns.

    Go find that bargain!
