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.
With relation to the housing market, in the centre of the island of Majorca, the prices of apartments in the area mirrored the general trend in Spain in moving downwards. The same situation was notable in the sector for townhouses and country houses where, with some exceptions for those houses with unique selling points such as their size or special location, the prices went down. However, in early 2010, indications are that prices are appearing to stabilize. There is a noted increase in the demand for high level properties with particular emphasis on exceptional properties that fulfil the regulations for conversion to a hotel. In the sector of building land with licences for construction and luxury special properties the prices have demonstrated overall stability. There are a lot of possibilities for potential buyers, who, after researching the market, have the ability to move rapidly on an offer. Due to the relatively poor performance of the British Pound at present the level of interest from British clients has diminished, but, there are still British buyers who are not prone to the fluctuations of sterling and are able to act independently of these. In conclusion, following the crash in the financial markets and their continuing volatility, a property in Majorca now represents a very good investment.
