We finally return to our blog, it has been a long adventure to redo the web, make it fast and cool for all of you users who make it possible for this blog to work.
After this crazy year of pandemic, we want to see how sales have evolved in Alicante since 2020, for those of you who have already forgotten, the first closure occurred in March, during the first quarter of 2020, and we returned to the street between May and June .
Without further ado, let's see some small tables!
Sales in the province of Alicante
| T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | |
| 2021 | 8.887 | |||
| 2020 | 7.471 | 3.736 | 9.348 | 10.244 |
| 2019 | 8.758 | 9.645 | 7.766 | 9.743 |
We do not yet have data available for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2021 for the province of Alicante, but what we can see is that second-hand home sales in 2021 have exceeded those made in 2019 (and obviously those made in 2020). . The second quarter of 2020 was very hard for both real estate companies and investors and sellers, but quarters 3 and 4 of 2020 made up for it. The total balance was 30.799 homes second hand sold in the province in 2020. in front of 35.912 de 2019, 15% less.
Sales in the city of Alicante
| T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | |
| 2021 | 1.206 | |||
| 2020 | 1.190 | 536 | 1.154 | 1.282 |
| 2019 | 1.519 | 1.576 | 1.227 | 1.595 |
For the city of Alicante, we see a similar progression, although our first quarter of 2021 has not been able to surpass that of 2019. Second-hand home sales in 2020 there were 4.162 compared to 5.917 in 2019, which is 30% less. Which explains the fall in prices in the real estate market.
What effects did the lower number of sales have?
The main and most obvious has been the increase in supply and the fall in prices, which for the city as a whole is 3,5% year-on-year according to data from Idealista. This situation makes it a excellent time to buy. Selling is also an interesting time, as buyers are looking to make the most of the situation.

| T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | |
| 2021 | 5.452 | 3.754* | ||

| 2019 | 5.662 | 6.168 | 4.677 | 5.892 |
* Data only for April and May 2021
In 2019 in the Province of Alicante, 22.399 mortgages were signed, compared to 20.294 in 2020, a 10% than in 2019. What may have resulted in the fierce competition that banks are having. And it is that even with provisional data, from Business Insider Spain it is revealed that the home purchase credit firm has grown 35,1% in March and 32,1% in April compared to the same period last year nationwide, it remains to be seen if we have exceeded the 2019 data both in the province and in the city of Alicante.
And what is the star product? Given that variable interest rates remain negative (Euribor at -0,484% in June), banks have opted for fixed-rate mortgages, which are currently around 60% of those signed. And it is not for less, since approximately 70% of buyers need to resort to personal loans or mortgages to be able to buy.
