Global property market to surge by end of year
15 August 2011 14:08
Worldwide property markets will be surging by the end of the year as investor confidence returns according to global agency Jones Lang LaSalle.

The firm’s latest report said that economic turmoil hasn’t hindered the international housing markets, with a recovery continuing in the second quarter, oversupply disappearing and rents pushing up.

Jeremy Kelly from Jones Lang LaSalle’s global research team told OPP: “There is no doubt that investors are more cautious than three months ago as demand on both sides has been tempered by mounting concerns over sovereign debt and by the pace of future global economic expansion.”

“Nonetheless, we believe that barring significant economic setbacks, the current lull in real-estate sentiment is likely to be temporary and global markets will return to a more confident stride in the final months of 2011.

Direct global investment is also up by more than a half on last year. “In the second quarter, we saw direct global investment rise by 50 per cent from the $68.8 billion transacted in 2010 to $103.5 billion this year,” said Arthur de Haast, head of the International Capital Group at Jones Lang LaSalle. “This activity has supported continued growth in capital values on prime assets.”

Holiday Homes Popularity!

360canaries — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:19:46 +0000

A recent survey has revealed that second / holiday homes are the most popular type of overseas property accommodation for Britons and Germans, and second only to hotels for French, Italian and Spanish holidaymakers when choosing where to stay.
According to a new Europe-wide survey commissioned by holiday rentals company www.HomeAway.co.uk and conducted by TNS Sofres, 39% of Brits and 32% of Germans cited holiday homes as their ideal accommodation when away, compared to 23% and 30% respectively who would choose a hotel. Size of Budget has no bearing on the matter says TNS Sofres.
In France, Spain and Italy holiday homes were the second most popular choice, with 19%, 25% and 20% respectively in each market opting for a holiday home, versus 39% in France and Spain and 35% in Italy who would choose a hotel.
The survey also found that the French, Spanish and Italians take more frequent holidays than Brits and Germans, but Brits and Germans spend more per head and also like to go overseas.
The French have the lowest budget for accommodation with an average of €34 per person per night, the Spanish come next with €48, followed by the Italians who budget on average €56 per person per night. Germans have the second highest budgets with€61 and the Brits come out as the top spenders with an average budget of €64 per person per night. The majority of Brits and Germans also expect to spend the same or more in 2011 than 2010, whereas most holidaymakers in France, Spain and Italy anticipate spending less.
In France, holiday homes are the preferred choice for the main holiday, but this is split between 6% who will rent somewhere and 29% who will stay in their own second homes.

Best Ferbruary in 15 years

360canaries — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:56:56 +0000

The Canary Islands received 932,699 foreign passengers to the islands during the month of February which is the best result in the past 15 years!

The figures are up 22.42% against last year with 170,800 more passengers recorded by Aena (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea), which is fantastic news for the Canary Islands tourism industry.

The breakdown of four larger islands arrivals figures for the month of February and year to date with a comparison % compared to 2010 showed:

Gran Canaria: 289,573 18.72% February, 575,351 15.66% YTD

Tenerife: 332,694 19.45% February, 651,977 13.09% YTD

Lanzarote: 143,685 16.27% February, 267,367 11.45% YTD

Fuerteventura: 155,799 47.32% February, 285,171 40.57% YTD

All of the four islands are showing positive increases with the most significant for Fuerteventura with 40.57% increase on 2010 for January and February 2011. President Paulino Rivero said that he expects these significant results from the tourism sector to transfer to employment. The increase of German tourists was noticeable on the results for Lanzarote with an increase of 24% during the month of February 2011.

The figures only confirm what we’ve experienced on the island over the past couple of months, troubles in other countries have led to tourists rebooking their winter sun holidays to Lanzarote and the Canary Islands. We are considered a very safe destination coupled with the fact that we’ve enjoyed fantastic winter weather.
