We analyze the situation of the real estate market in 2018
THE CONSOLIDATION. 2018 represents the year where growth moderates or, practically, disappears. We had already been saying a couple of years ago that this fact, by itself, was advisable to happen because, otherwise, the market would not be sustainable. This moderation has been very clear in the city of Barcelona throughout 2018. In contrast, in the surroundings of Barcelona is still in the upward curve of the market.
We could say, in a generalized way, that both rental and resale markets in Barcelona city have peaked and, in 2019, we will see how they are positioning themselves. In general, the market offer has remained low, but there are already indicators that show a change of trend in this regard, and already at the end of the year we have seen how the Offer has recovered in some areas. We believe that this will be one of the most significant facts of 2019.
