Summer Tourist Influx Sees Winter Property Viewings In The Algarve Increase Tenfold
Infinito Real, a Portugal based agent, says that the surge in tourists over the summer is now having a positive effect on the Algarve property market with the number of bookings to view properties three times more than November last year and the number of clients booked to visit in December up ten-fold. This has left Managing Director, Stephen Anderson, having to increase staff levels to cope with the extra demand.
October and November are historically busy months for Infinito Real with bookings usually made by tourists returning to the cold UK after their summer break and contemplating purchasing a second home in the sun. “What’s unusual this year is that booking levels are such that we are busy right through December, even over Christmas, which is traditionally quiet within any property market. In the last month I have taken on four new members of staff to ensure we are able to continue providing a personal service for those coming over to view properties.”
