- despite the world wide economic crisis, prices of Algarve houses were not slashed down, but kept their actual worth. This shows an incredible steady market price. Unlike countries like for instance Spain were housing prices have fallen between 20 and 50%, Portugal profiles itself as a highly qualified and trustable market. Economy is already rising again from May 2009 and predictions suggest price rising of properties from now on *. This gives you a perfect opportunity to invest now, when prices are slightly lower and sell in a few years for a higher price. (*: The newspaper “the portugal News” wrote on September 5th. 2009 that Portugal is “one of only seven countries in the world to report INCREASES in house prices for the second quarter of the year, while the building industry reported double-digit growth.”)
- The Algarve is a constant growing market where quality and quantity are matched securely, while at the same time keeping eye for nature and environment issues.
- The newspaper “The Portugal News” wrote on 22.nd August 2009: “Portugal third most PLEASURABLE country in the world”, preceded only by Colombia and Mexico…… but I don’t think you wanna be in either of these two countries right now, do you?
- the same newspaper mentioned in August of this year that Portugal together with Ireland has the lowest inflation of EU over the last 12 months……
- research has shows several times that very many inhabitants of UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, and some more countries are seriously thinking about emigrating to a soutern european country, with the Portuguese Algarve being in the top 3 of favourable destinations.
