Greetings!
Welcome to the Christmas newsletter.
As I have now made my application to be a Spanish Air Traffic Controller and thus become a multi-millionaire, this could be my last Newsletter from MJCA !!

SPAIN AND THE EURO | | As in many countries the political will is very short term oriented and all opposition parties simply criticize the Government for whatever measures they apply without suggesting sensible or any alternatives. As elsewhere I suppose.
With an unemployment level of 20% Spain still has a long way to go to recover and probably the banks have still to reconcile their property exposures in their balance sheets. However there does seem to be some positive news and it is apparent that the Spanish Government is prepared to get tough! The recent Air Traffic Controllers "walk out" caused chaos over the whole of Europe's air traffic and was to some extent fuelled by the Government's proposal to privatize Madrid and Barcelona airports thus putting the massively overpaid Controllers at some future risk - they are Government employees and as such have jobs for life. A situation which has to change.
Bail-outs have also been much in the news but with continuing denials it begins to sound like American Presidential candidates denying that they will run for President ! Certainly the Air Traffic Controllers have not enhanced Spain's image. |
| THE MARKET | |
November and December are traditionally quiet months for sales of real estate in Mallorca. The lead up to Christmas which seems to start earlier every year and the lack of short break tourism all add to the tranquility which at least gives us time to evaluate plans for next year. |
|
HOWEVER | |
This year all is upside down ! Among the several properties which have been sold are two substantial villas in the road to Santa Ponsa Golf Club. Both were sold after many months of waiting. In both cases the asking prices were originally on the high side but a good result has been achieved. Other agents are also reporting some successes.

| FOOTBALL | |
Xavi, Iniesta and Messi - all three from Barcelona's squad - are nominated for the 2010 Balón de Oro / Footballer of the Year and the post World Cup selection of Russia and Qatar continue to upset the FIFA applecart.

FORMULA 1 IN MALLORCA | |
There are rumours and articles in the local press indicating that Ecclestone and his Formula One team are considering Mallorca as a possible venue for future Grand Prix. At present there is a small circuit on the road towards Llucmajor from Palma and plans have appeared to enlarge this to Formula One specifications. All seems a bit pie in the sky to me but who knows ?

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS | |
All of us here at MJC Associates wish all our clients and friends (which we hope are the same thing!) a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Certainly the mood here in Mallorca is a little more upbeat and indications are that there will be a continuing recovery in the property market during 2011. We certainly hope so !! |
