A strange Christmas

Christmas is here and this year it arrives in the midst of a strange financial and economic crisis. We have not experienced a period of adjustment as severe as this for many years and this means that for many families this will not be such a happy Christmas. In previous years the real estate sector saw a wealth of lavish company dinners and Christmas gifts. This year things are very different and austerity is the name of the game for companies which are managing to survive the crisis but, as always, the Christmas spirit is still here as this special time of the year comes round once again.

At this point in the crisis everyone has adapted to the new situation: families have cut back on spending, governments are injecting public money into the economy, companies have reduced their budgets and cut down on staff, and developers have significantly lowered property prices.
Many constructors are launching special offers until the end of the year and I invite you to visit our web page to see our proposals. Perhaps this is the time to “treat yourself" to a home on the Spanish coast.

Although the situation is more difficult for some, many others are still able to enjoy a good lifestyle, and we should not allow pessimism to become widespread and put a stop to all economic activity. All situations come to an end and, although it may be a cliché, the economy is cyclical. Just like Christmas.

Happy holidays to you all.
