The evolution of the residential market reflects that demand remains active across the country
"The evolution of the residential market reflects that demand remains active across the country," said Tinsa.
In this sense, Cristina Arias, director of the appraiser's Research Department, has assured that "the residential segment continues to attract buyers in a context of low interest rates that, in combination with the inflationary trends of the economy, maintain real estate as an attractive investment alternative".
Tinsa expects housing prices to continue to register moderate increases, as "supply is still not keeping pace with the growing demand".
"New construction continues to reactivate at a moderate speed," Arias said. "Growth is contained, in part, by the increase in construction costs, which continue to rise, driven by the price of raw materials, compared to a labor cost that, for the moment, has remained stable," he concluded.
