The centre of Majorca will enchant you with its picturesque landscapes and the authentic villages with their weekly markets faraway from tourism. Views to the surrounding mountains and partly to the sea make the central region attractive. The villages around Santa Maria, Santa Eugenia, Bunyola, Alaró, Consell and Binissalem, reknown for its wine-growing area, are attainable within twenty minutes of Palma. The villages oriented to the north coast such as Selva, Moscari, Sencelles, Costitx and Llubi surround the third biggest town of Majorca, Inca, well known for its leather factories. Since March 2007 Inca have a modern newly built hospital. The medieval capital Sineu and the surrounding villages Pina, Lloret, Ariany or Petra mark the geographical centre of the island.
A stimulation of the real estate market could be stated at the end of the last year and this tendency continued in the first months of this year. Purchasers' decision making is taking a shorter time, mainly with properties priced up to 750,000 Euro. At the moment, half of the purchasers are British and Spanish. There is also movement in the high-end market. Conspicuous are increased requests for country hotels or properties which fits the regulations to be converted into a hotel. In the market of building plots with license and extraordinary properties the development is more or less stable up to slightly increasing prices. Town houses and small country houses are also in the lower price level available. German purchasers, who were looking for a second residence in the past, are showing again concrete interest. With the view to the passed period of a weak stock market period, real estate is evidently an attractive investment.
