Success at Barcelona Meeting Point 2009

Last weekend saw the closing of the Barcelona Meeting Point Real Estate Event, and the organisers have praised attendances and labelled it a success. Enrique LaCalle, the event organiser and president, announced that over 150,000 people attended the event, which - perhaps surprisingly - is 20,000 more than last year. Meeting Point showcases many public and private companies in the construction sector, and LaCalle also added that negotiations between businesses and the public are expected to reach a value of around 2100 million Euros.



Attendances were high for both the professional and public parts of the event, with many people eager to hunt for a bargain. The Real Estate Process has changed dramatically in the past few years, with the market swaying over in the buyer's favour. Such was demand around 4 years ago, that apartments were snapped up by everyone and no reservations could be made, for example. Nowadays, both the buyers and sellers know that there is no queue of people after one property with the market being saturated with both brand new properties as well as those which come up for sale and are occupied previously. It's certainly a great time to be looking for a property in Barcelona.

Barcelona Real Estate agency Modus Vivendi have a selection of Properties for sale in their portfolio, and also offerLong Term rentals in Barcelona too.

Barcelona Meeting Point

The month of October sees the biggest real estate trade fair in Spain come to Barcelona. The 13th edition of Barcelona Meeting Point is held in the Fira de Barcelona from the 27th October to 1st November, and despite the current financial downturn, the fair seems well on the way to being another good show, with many stands and exhibitions spaces already fully booked.

In 5 days, the exhibition is a must for networking and keeping up with industry trends, and this year will also promote to some extent the low-cost Madrid show, following on the success of the Barcelona Low cost fair in June of this year. Meeting Point is divided into three main sections; The Professional Exhibition, the General Attendance Exhibition and the International Symposium.

This year's International Symposium sees a high attendance level from Arab countries, with speakers on Wednesday morning forming the first "Euro Arab Real Estate Conference". There is also to be some speeches and presentations on learning from the current financial crisis. If you're thinking of attending you can sign up here.
