In this transcript, Sean and Daren from Cloud Nine discuss the increasing interest and inquiries they are receiving from American buyers looking to purchase property in the Costa del Sol region. They note that the United States has become their second most dominant market, with American clients now accounting for 20-30% of their inquiries. The hosts speculate that this surge in interest may be due to various factors, such as dissatisfaction with the political climate in the U.S. and concerns over safety issues, particularly around schools. They also highlight that the Costa del Sol's lifestyle, reminiscent of Southern California with its favorable climate and family-friendly atmosphere, is highly appealing to American buyers.
Additionally, they mention that many tech professionals are relocating to the region, especially Málaga, which is emerging as a significant tech hub. This trend is supported by various visa options like the Golden Visa and the Digital Nomad Visa, making it easier for Americans to move and settle in the area. The hosts emphasize the unique charm, culture, and values of the Costa del Sol, which include good food, sunshine, and excellent schools, making it a compelling destination for families. They also note that high-profile endorsements from publications like Forbes and the Wall Street Journal are contributing to the area's growing popularity among Americans.
