When we put our place up for sale I looked at all the comparable properties for sale in GA at the time....some of them had asking prices set in cuckoo land!!
I note that they are all still for sale some 20 months after we listed ours for sale, we sold ours in less than 12 months and got all within a couple of thousand of the asking price.
If the “buyers” on the TV programme are visiting some of these overpriced properties they will indeed, if they have any sense and have researched the market, be making offers well below the “inflated” asking price.
Always makes me laugh when they say this is a bargain it’s just reduced by €30,000.....read it was overpriced, no mugs bought it, they’ve just brought it more in line with market valuations.
I went out with an old work mate last week who bought a place on The Golden Mile in Marbella about the same time as we bought in GA, we sold for slightly more than we paid, he paid €320,000 and sold for just over €1,500,000.....I should have listened to Mrs H when she said wanted to buy down there.

Regards all

She did indeed!!
In truth June always wanted to buy down there, I was a bit too tight fisted when I compared what you could buy on the Blanca compared to the Sol.
Although we both agree that in hindsight we should have bought in Tenerife for the Winter temperatures....you live and learn!!

I watched a bit of a programme that was filmed just over a year ago and the thing I noticed with the properties viewed was that they had all been reduced from the original asking price. It still seems that one must be flexible to get a sale.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - at least they seemed a genuine couple and ended up with a good value buy.

I thought GA was shown in a decent light and has done the area no harm. They dropped on with some cracking weather for March filming - always make the place look better

I really enjoyed the show and felt that it showed GA in a great light....unlike the last time it was on.
They're both delighted with the property they bought.

I also thought it was a great advert for Gran Alacant and it was good to see the buyers so happy with their eventual choice.

It was interesting to learn that La Marina is only 5 minutes further from the airport than GA. There must be a secret road that we haven’t discovered yet!
