At the height of the Spanish property crash, there were bargains to be had across the country, including repossessed properties in some of the best areas along the coast, and even in some of the prime spots in the major cities. But fresh research from the Spanish property portal Idealista reveals that most of the homes banks now have on their books for sale are located in small towns with little demand.
Around half of bank repossession listings are located in small municipalities with a population of 20,000 or less, which suggests that they would be poor investments as there would be little or no new demand for housing.
“Those homes are not going to be easy to sell at any price,” said Mark Stucklin at Spanish Property Insight.

Interesting article but using Idealista as the benchmark for the statistics doesn't give a full picture. Agreed prime repo stock at a bmv price to attract investment interest is lower than it was but there's still plenty of opportunity for interest and investment.
I agree definitely, the article is superb but I strongly believe that using Idealista as the benchmark for the statistics doesn't give a full picture. It is pleasure for me to see so intelligent people here :)
