The Algarve, bordering the Alentejo region to the north and Spain to the east, has Faro as its capital city, and is the southernmost region of Portugal, stretching along the Atlantic coast.
Golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and traditional Portugal fishing villages sums up what the world sees as the Algarve. 300 + days of sunshine a year, great gold courses, and a wealth of luxury properties and resorts to choose from makes the Algarve one of Europe's most desirable coastal destinations.
"Cheap property" in the luxury market doesn't always mean a low price, as a 'luxury property' that is undervalued for the current real estate market place status can be seen as being cheap.
A $1M home might be "cheap" compared to others at $2M that are located in Algarve, but the price difference for what seems to be very similar properties could be for a wide range of reasons.
If the luxury property has become distressed or foreclosed they are often sold below market value and at time through auctions. Or it could be the seller, for personal reasons like a job relocation has special reasons for letting the property be sold at a very low rate.
In emerging luxury markets luxury could be listed as undervalued in relation to future expectations, for areas such as growing neighborhoods in cities that are becoming popular, like those with infrastructure improvements or tourism growth.
Luxury buyers often have leverage as they have the financial means to purchase, especially in slow markets where borrowing from a bank is harder.
Properties bought below market value in luxury areas, such as Algarve property listings for sale by owner especially when looking at cheap Algarve real estate listings by owner which can be cheaper than listed via an agent, can often see strong appreciation if buying below market value.
Economic or political fluctuations can temporarily depress prices, allowing investors to acquire premium assets at a cheaper rate.
