While ‘second-hand’ properties can sometimes be more accessible to those looking for a home or investment property, choosing a new-build has many advantages – and is increasingly the preferred option for first time buyers in Spain.
These properties often allow for more flexible payment options, along with other benefits like improved energy efficiency, modern architecture, and turnkey interiors, not to mention peace of mind when it comes to the standards of construction and materials used.
At the same time, the shift in buyer preferences following the pandemic – outdoor space and terraces are increasingly seen as ‘non-negotiables’ – has also turned home-seekers to New Homes developments, where such amenities are the norm.
Demand for new-build properties is certainly on an upward trajectory, and this is further boosted by interest from foreign buyers. In 2021, visa applications were 20% higher than in previous years, and many expats or those seeking a second home in Spain are choosing new-builds in good locations with carefully curated amenities.
At BidX1, we continue to provide new services and products to the Spanish real estate market following our first sales here in 2019. This year, we are pleased to have launched the sale of two New Homes developments on our digital platform – ten stunning villas in Ibiza just a stone’s throw from the beach, and five beautiful homes in a tranquil, gated development in Salobreña, Granada.
Island Life
We are delighted to be offering a selection of beautiful villas in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza’s second largest city, on behalf of developer Prime Cities Fund. The Bellavista development is an exclusive residential scheme of 30 semi-detached houses, located just 400 metres from the beach.
As foreign investment in Ibiza recovers, Sant Antoni de Portmany is on its way to becoming the island’s hot spot. Well-known for its night life, the area is also rich in natural beauty, while government initiatives and entrepreneurial private developers alike are further enhancing the locality with new schemes and developments.
Each villa boasts a private terrace, solarium and parking garage, as well as access to a communal swimming pool within the complex.
Prices start at €528,500 and go up to €620,000, with sizes ranging from 160 sq.m to 200 sq.m.
These stunning homes will be complete in January 2023, and we are currently arranging viewings for the show houses. The full sale process will take place on our digital platform, and all of the information is available for potential buyers to consider, from video walk-throughs to the full legal pack.
An Oasis in Andalusia
Meanwhile, those seeking a new-build property in Andalusia should take an interest in a selection of houses in Salobreña, Granada, which are also being offered on our digital platform.
The Oasis de Salobreña development is located just 800 meters from the beach and comprises a selection of 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom homes, all with terraces. The properties boast excellent finishes throughout and are situated within a gated development offering a swimming pool, gym, spa and landscaped gardens.
Our Process
Having launched in Spain in 2019, we’re delighted to be expanding our footprint in the Spanish market this year. As buyers are increasingly drawn to the benefits of a new-build property, our platform offers a simple online process for completing the transaction – attracting an audience of investors from around the globe.
