En este 2019, los inversores están manteniendo su confianza en el Real Estate de manera mayoritaria, ya que actualmente existe un recorrido de incremento en el sector, aunque, eso sí, de manera moderada, con una estabilización de los principales indicadores, además existen empresas como Housfy expertas en Real Estate. La mejora del mercado laboral y la financiación, son dos de las principales razones que le han vuelto tan competitivo.
Consolidation has been a constant in this market for several years. Specifically, in 2018 it grew by 6.1%. However, it should not be forgotten that Real Estate companies are now facing tougher regulation and growth in a sustainable manner. High energy prices, climate change and public regulation are having an increasing impact on this trend.
Además de todo esto, el aumento de la población mundial, también está haciendo que aumente la oferta internacional de activos inmobiliarios, por lo que son varias las compañías que no están dejando pasar esta oportunidad.
Housfy
Esta startup española (Housfy) es uno de esos players que están aprovechando la situación, y ha captado una ronda de financiación de 6M€ led by Seaya Ventures, DN Capital, Torch Capital, and Cathay Innovation to expand internationally.
It is a benchmark company in the sector, with headquarters in Barcelona, which acts as a platform for buying and selling flats between private individuals without commissions.The new system is quick, simple and inexpensive.
Housfy is present throughout the entire process. Among other things, it calculates the value of the property, creates the advert, places it in the top positions on real estate portals and prepares the legal documentation. In addition, if the sale does not go through, it does not charge anything.
In the following, we will also discuss other interesting operations in the sector:
Housell
Housell is a real estate services technology company that brings the best of both the physical and digital worlds at the same time.
Para lograr su objetivo, ha cerrado una ronda por valor de 12M€ thanks to Cerberus, a US fund that acquired the startup in 2017, but also from AvivThe real estate division of the publishing group Axel Springer, which will control the Spanish company's 20%, having contributed three quarters of the total amount.
Prontopiso
Prontopiso es otra compañía catalana con sede en Barcelona que está en pleno crecimiento. Actualmente, opera en Madrid y Barcelona, pero ha recurrido a una ampliación de capital de 4,5M€ venture capital funds from Banco Sabadell and Inveready in order to expand first to other Spanish cities.
