The Barcelona Meeting Point starts with the offer of mortgages and new promotions. The real estate show is once again presenting new developments in Barcelona and banks offer loans for products outside their portfolio.
A price increase is detected in some areas of Barcelona and its metropolitan area. The president of the Barcelona Meeting Point, Enrique Lacalle, celebrated that “the show is growing again with the interest of the sector”. Lacalle faces his last room as president with the satisfaction of having left behind the worst years in which “the room held the guy.” In this nineteenth edition, the BMP brings together 280 companies from fifteen countries and some 40 international funds in nearly 20,000 square meters. The real estate sector is now, according to Enrique Lacalle, “smaller, with new companies and much more prudent and professionalized”.
The Barcelona Promoters Association (APCE) estimated yesterday that this year between 6,000 and 6,500 new homes will begin to be built in Catalonia, compared to 3,800 in 2014 (in 2006 there were 126,000 homes).
