Trend: the purchase of flats as an alternative to the stock exchange or bank deposits. Real estate investment could be returning to the first line among savers’ options.
Likewise, there is an increase in the purchase of housing without mortgages: currently only 29% of purchases are made with bank financing.
The prototype of the house that these savers demand is a very central housing with prices below € 150,000. In Madrid a very high level of flats has a price under € 150,000. In Barcelona the percentage is a little lower, on the 20% of floors has a price under 150,000 €.
A flat of € 150,000 can reach a rent rate of 7%. Much more than a fixed deposit.
