However prices have dropped 2.34% since 01.08.07. Marbella, the focal point for the Costa del Sol hasn't fared too badly either with prices overall higher than the beginning of the year (2.45%) but dropping off 2% since it's highpoint of 3,197€/m2 at the end of July down to 3,133€/m2.
The results of a survey by Facilismo say that 68.41% of Spanish citizens believe the current goverment to be at fault. 62.09% believe that prices won't drop anymore and 66.28% say they would still buy instead of renting. However certain analysts think that the current redressing of prices is a necessary market correction. If prices continue to drop up to a further 10% in 2008, they will be back at the level of 2005.
