Eye on Spain Newsletter - 16 November 2010
17,081 Readers |
Buenas tardes
Hope you're having a good week so far. If not then surely the fact that the Euro is on the way up has to be good news? Our first article looks into what's going on with this!
You'll notice that this week the newsletter takes a new, slightly different format as we have now started integrating the EOS Supporters articles and podcasts into the newsletter. These are clearly identified as "EOS Supporters". Each week there will be a good mix of articles which I hope you'll continue to enjoy.
And finally, we were inundated last week with requests from people who want to be EOS Contributors, which is great really :) We are responding to each one personally so bear with us as we make our way through these over the coming days.
Now, enjoy this week's features and remember to keep sending us your articles to publish. Have a great week.
Saludos
Justin

Record Price Reductions in October in Spain
EOS SUPPORTERS:
Panic is rising amongst property sellers who are seeing that if they don’t complete the sale before the end of the year, it will be even more difficult to sell their properties in 2011. And they are doing this by reducing their selling prices.

EOS SUPPORTERS:
