What influences the price of new property in the province of Guadalajara?

The real estate supply and demand in the province of Guadalajara generally dictate the price per square meter of new developments. In addition, external factors such as the economic situation of the region, tourism, the average purchasing power of the population, or foreign investment, particularly location, also play a significant role. The proximity and communication by road and/or train with the capital, Madrid, is a crucial factor in calculating the price.

Regarding property characteristics, orientation, square meters, construction materials, and finishes make a difference in the final price.

Common areas have also become a differentiating and influential element in new developments. The presence of a garage and storage room, outdoor sports facilities, a swimming pool, or children's areas can significantly vary the price, as well as solar panels, centralized heating, and air conditioning. All these extras considerably increase the property's value.

What is the importance of buying new developments compared to second-hand properties in the province of Guadalajara?

The fact that Guadalajara is the second province in Castilla-La Mancha with the most approved permits for the construction of new-build developments is the result of the demand from local and foreign customers, making these properties highly coveted, in demand, and above all, valued.

The guarantee of having a new home and being able to make modifications or personalizations before the keys are handed over is one of the main incentives for choosing new-build properties over second-hand ones. The latter always need some kind of renovation or partial or total change.

In addition to this, the current construction materials and finishes are vastly superior. The common areas, which undoubtedly make a big difference, must also be highlighted. The installation of outdoor sports facilities, green areas, playgrounds or swimming pools significantly increases the value of newly built residential complexes.

Furthermore, energy-efficient elements can be installed to lower the monthly electricity or gas bill, such as solar panels or insulation materials.
