In the first half of 2015, a total of 188,432 housing sales transactions were recorded as per General Council of Notaries, indicating a 7.9 per cent increase on the first half figures for the previous year.
"Spain is now being viewed as the next hotspot real estate market after top investment destinations like London, Paris and New York. Spain was once considered as a troubled economy as investors hesitated for its high unemployment, troubled banking sector and free falling real estate which has now completely changed marking a makeover and a comeback in full swing. Spain's mixed economy is the 16th largest worldwide and the sixth largest in the European Union, as well as the Eurozone's fourth largest.
