At times like this it is best to look for those good deals in the established economies of EU
If you want to have some life style benefit and long term investment then just pick the location you like best and then get hold of a professional agent to find a good deal for you
I happen to like Spain between Alicante and Mojacar...in the right location the deals have never been better
The basics are good...life style and a growing demand from northern EU countries when their own economies improve From Poland Russia and their old states....the growing middle classes seeking a life style home where the sun shines most days of the year
Ok their property market has the same problems as we do in UK but not in all locations...and in anycase our job is to find the good deals for clients
So for those seeking a life style buy but with an eye on future medium to long term investment, then Spain is still up there as a good buy
The cheap airlines will always go to Southern Spain.....not so for some other locatiions...ticket price may rise and fall with the oil price.....so no worry about getting there....and for holiday/sport lets if you work at it then the demand seems to keep on increasing, with more and more looking to self cater.....and do not forget the Spanish themselves like their holidays on the Costas!
You can put forward good reasons for buying in France or Portugal...but it is a touch more expensive than Spain and the sun is the same!!!
But the so called emerging markets will I suspect produce a lot of problems for a lot of people.....................and those who buy in the middle East etc Egypt Turkey must like a gamble!!!.......for the experienced dealers only [ who can look after themselves] but not for begginers or life styel buyers
