Spanish and Uk overseas housing market

I was wondering if Inspecatahome or any other agents or industry professionals could give British people reading this online magazine some feedback. 

What is the real current situation with the housing market sales to Brits right now and any ideas of the way the market is going to go for the next couple of years. 

‘We believe that a growing economy, low financing costs, good potential for rental returns and capital appreciation will continue to drive sales throughout 2017 and beyond,’ he said.

But his firm has found that Brexit had a noticeable effect on sales to British buyers in the second half of 2016 but he believes that this was mainly due to the depreciation of the pound rather than concerns about the country’s future in Europe.

‘Across Spain as a whole Brits still dominate foreign sales with nearly a fifth of the market share, more than double that of French buyers, he pointed out, adding that diminishing demand for high end homes in London following Brexit could also see non-EU citizens look to Madrid or Barcelona in the forthcoming months.

He believes that there is still pent up demand from potential British buyers, citing figures that show that overseas searches for Spanish property via Kyero reached all-time highs after the referendum vote in June, up over 50% on 2015. The portal’s largest agents also reported seeing record attendance at UK investor shows.

He predicts that older British home owners with no mortgages on their properties and looking for a holiday home will be tempted to buy in Spain in 2017 and beyond. ‘In short, British buyers age 50 plus who love Spain are sitting on huge equity piles and Brexit didn’t diminish their wealth and as a group, British buyers are getting richer,’ said Speigal.

But he warned that they will haggle over prices and will want to get value for their money. ‘The hunt for value will translate to a key trend in the Spanish property market in 2017 with buyers seeking good value properties that offset the drop in Sterling’s value. Evidence is already emerging of the benefits of this on lower priced destinations, which look set to boom in 2017,’ he added.

I bought and sold in Spain (Costa Blanca) two years ago.

Can't find any similar to the one I sold (built 1983) online, but other prices in that area seem about the same as two years ago.

There are several similar to the one I bought (built about 8 years ago). All are priced higher than the asking price when I bought.

However this may just be a local effect as there are now new similar sized properties for sale close by priced at nearly double this asking price (creating a local market?).
