According to statistics released by the Central Bank of Spain in January 2019, the return expected on the residential Real Estate market in Spain is 10,5% – Blue line on the chart.
This performance comes from two sources:
- gross rental yield estimated at 3,99% –Green line on the chart–and
- capital gain estimated at 6.51%.
Uplifting news:
- 5% is perhaps the most astounding rate since 2008!
- Mortgage rates are close to 2% and remain at the bottom of their 10-year range (2.34% in January 2019, Red line on the chart)
The first significant positive return since the crisis of 2008 came in early 2014 … four years ago…
As you can see on our chart, the estimated return became marginally positive for the second time since 2008 at the start of 2014. In 2010, the estimated return was positive albeit not enough to compensate for the costs of the mortgage. This time, the performance is much stronger as the estimated profitability of 11.2% covers by more than 5 times the costs of the mortgage.
