Well, all we can say today is thank God for Spain. Why? Because we were getting so fed up with everyone and his dog discussing if, when, where and how far which property market in the world was going to crash first…so now that a few more alleged scandals have inveigled their way into the Spanish property market in the last week or so and the price of shares in construction firms have crashed down, the media can finally all heave a collective sigh of relief and begin typing out words of doom citing the Spanish property market as the catalyst for a global real estate crash - and everyone and his dog can now speak from a position of informed authority.
We all knew it would start somewhere so thank God for Spain because it has set the ball in motion and stopped everyone boring on and on about which market first, where, when and so on and so forth. Over supply and over priced supply at that are being cited as the main reasons for a crash which has barely begun and which, according to senior analysts at Lombard Street Research will last for at least a year and a half in Spain - and which, according to seemingly everyone else, will result in the value of houses all over the world dropping by huge percentages. Well, all that aside for a moment anyway please because it’s boring and negative, we thought we’d tell you how to profit from a Spanish property market crash just in case you aren’t that bothered by all the hype and scare mongering reporting tactics going on and you’re just interested in property and making money from it.
