The Euribor is on our side
You’ve probably heard the Euribor mentioned in the media a million times, well that’s because it’s the main economic agent that determines whether or not it’s a good time to buy property.
Before starting to explain why it’s a good time to buy a flat, we’re going to briefly explain exactly what the Euribor is.
The Euribor is the type of interest applied to operations between banks in Europe. In other words, the percentage of money we pay the bank for lending us money, and it’s always related to the mortgage market.
The type of interest on a mortgage loan is set around two components:
- Reference index: although there are other indexes, it is the most common in Spain.
- Differential: is the fixed amount that is added to the reference index.
The Euribor is currently at a negative value. At -0.112% to be exact. Therefore, with the Euribor in the negative and with increases not expected until 2021, the experts insist that this is the best time to buy property.
Buying to rent, the best moment
Real estate investments have always been in excellent health. There’s no other product on the market that matches the returns of real estate products.

Although, like all investments, it’s important to determine and prevent certain risks. There’s a fundamental aspect when it comes to investing in real estate, and that is choosing the city and neighbourhood we’re going to buy in. So, when it comes to going for this option, it’s vital to correctly analyse the situation.
