How do you sell your property in Spain in 2010?

According to Idealista, property priced under the 200k mark jumped 55% for Madrid and a rise of 48% in Barcelona. Since 2006 (when the market peaked), properties in the 100 to 200k (Euros) price bracket have gone from 8% of the total property market in Madrid to 27% today - an increase in supply of property in this price range of 458% since August 2006. In Barcelona, it has risen from 3% of the total (October 2006) to 18% today - an increase of 638%!

Too much property on the market combined with the effects from the credit crunch (lack of finance, less money in people's pockets and a fear of the unknown) means sellers have had no choice but to reduce their asking price in order to sell.

Fernando Encinar of Idealista commented:

 “The only way out today for vendors is to realise they have to drop their prices if they want to sell”
