Buying a newly built villa is betting on a property that will not require reform works and energy improvement (at least in the immediate future).Although the price may seem higher than that of a house that needs renovation, it is actually a long-term savings.Not to mention the fact that a chalet meets the living needs of many people who are tired of small and cramped spaces.For this reason, the purchase of a new villa can be the perfect solution for those who do not want to have headaches after the purchase and prefer open spaces to the closed walls of a flat.idealista shows you a selection of more than 2,000 new chalets for all budgets.The starting price is 40,000 euros.The pandemic has drawn a new scenario in the housing market.Not only has the way of living in a house changed, where in many homes there is a space for teleworking, but interest in buying a home to reform has also increased.Buying the right home to live in is one of life's most complex dilemmas.Above all, when you need extra space, but the budget is limited, the recurring question is always the same: is it better to have a ground floor with a garden or an attic with a terrace?Of course, it depends on the personal needs of each one.Are you looking for a house with a garden, but the budget is limited?The ideal solution is a duplex.A duplex is a very special type of home: a two-story apartment connected by an internal staircase.Buying a duplex house allows you to live as if you were in a villa on the outskirts, but with all the comfort of being in the center of the city.Duplexes not only offer more square footage than flats, they can also be very affordable.Attics are usually one of the most coveted types of housing today, especially if they have a terrace.But it hasn't always been that way.Decades ago, the upper floors of buildings were, in many cases, the area for service personnel or even used as a storage room.Currently, penthouses can cost between 20% and 40% more than another type in the same building.And the revaluation can be greater depending on the height, the orientation, the views it has, etc.The Association of Real Estate Developers of Madrid (Asprima) has appointed Carolina Roca, general director of the Roca Real Estate Group, as its new president, who will replace Juan Antonio Gómez-Pintado after the end of his mandate.Until now, she held the position of vice president of the Madrid Association, while Gómez-Pintado will continue as president of the Association of Promoters and Builders of Spain (APCEspaña).Currently, only 5% of renters are over 65, but by 2040 this number will have multiplied by 2.7.A figure to take into account if the rate of effort to pay the income of this group is observed, which currently stands at 103.1% in the case of retirement and 163% when it comes to a widow's pension, according to data from an EY and Asprima report.The 'tiny homes', or small prefabricated houses, are gaining prominence in Spain and many companies dedicated to them are emerging.Small in size, normally relocatable, the 'tiny houses' are emerging as a not inconsiderable option for a second residence or for those with a nomadic spirit who want to live with their house in tow.In addition, these tiny houses, by having the option of being self-sufficient and relocatable, can be placed on land that other buildings cannot.For example, there is a legal vacuum that allows them to be located on rural land, although, before doing so, it is advisable to consult the relevant administration.The scarcity of new construction means that second-hand is still the type of home that dominates sales in the country.Although it is a cheaper type of house, its energy efficiency is low.That is why we must and can incorporate “that which is greener” progressively.They are gestures to make a house more sustainable.47% of owners would invest up to 50,000 euros to improve their home in favor of their health and the planet, according to UCI.Among these gestures is investing in good lighting to save money, placing photovoltaic panels or windmills.
