Market cycle in Marbella

Luckily for us, there is always demand for property in Marbella whether the market is up or down.  That being said, It's always going to be easier to sell a property during a market boom, than otherwise. This is a given. When there are lots of sales happening and lots of optimism around; in turn, you are going to find it easier and faster to sell your property.

Segment liquidity

Selling your property in Marbella fast, will be determined by what you are trying to sell. Some segments are much more liquid than others. For instance, a beachside villa will always have buyers waiting. But, if you are selling a mountainside villa, that is difficult to get to, and needs refurbishment; then that has a much more niche market, therefore it's going to be harder to find a buyer, and you will have to be more patient.

Features and selling points

Selling a front line property with sea view? This is a very strong selling point with high demand. A property with sea views is going to sell quicker than a property in the same urbanisation facing the wall with no light. Each property is unique and every property's features have to be taken into account when determining how much demand there will be.

Price your property right

You can have a beachside, key ready villa with all the features, but if it's overpriced - It won't sell.  It's very easy for people to check online nowadays and see if a property is heavily overpriced. A lot of real estate agents will reel you in with flattery. Telling you your property is worth more than it is, in order to get the listing. All this does is keep your property on the market longer. When you eventually realise you need to reduce the price, buyers will be wondering what is wrong with it to be on the market for so long. That is why it's so important to get this right from the beginning.
