It is no wonder that almost 9 million people<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visited Barcelona in 2017 alone. But as the tourist industry grows from strength to strength, so too do the voices of the opposition. Airbnb is a big thing nowadays, so let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>Tourism undoubtedly brings a steady stream of income to those living there. However,\u00a0 it has also become a source of growing resentment for locals. Residents are battling ever more against those coming to experience all the city has to offer. Now, to achieve a more harmonious relationship, the council has taken to banning Airbnb (amongst other beneficiaries of the industry) in the city for properties without a tourist license. We reported on this first in <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casamonainternational.com\/airbnb-really-solution-mostly-problem-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2017<\/a><\/span> in a blog post. Since then, Barcelona has certainly taken a stronger line in its implementation of strategies to combat tourism overwhelming the city. Measures include fining the website for listing unlicensed apartments, accessing the database of apartments listed and levying a higher tax on these holiday rentals. So, what does the increased regulation mean for the Barcelona real estate market today?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-861 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"367\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casamona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Barcelona-20130501-00785-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the effect of this for owners?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst the high prices offered by holiday rentals may initially seem desirable, it is important to recognise their nature. Owners must keep up with the ever-changing tastes of the consumer market, the seasonal variations, and regularly upkeep their property. A chance to profit from more stable and guaranteed income without any hassle has led to more and more owners wanting to put their properties up for long term rent. Why not join them by contacting us here at Casamona?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And renters?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more properties on the market, the good news is that now is the perfect time to\u00a0snap up the\u00a0property that you love! Long term renters such as students and professionals are now advantaged by the greater choice and less volatile prices. The number of affordable long term rentals is on the rise, so you can find\u00a0your perfect\u00a0home\u00a0in the city. Furthermore, all this regulation eliminates the risk of being turfed out of an apartment holding an illegal licence and securing a safe stay in the city. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And buyers? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prices have decreased for properties for rent and so too\u00a0have those for sale.\u00a0 Therefore, use the Airbnb effect to your advantage and find your dream property for sale in the heart of Barcelona.
