| Sales Down, Prices Up. What Happened? | 08 Aug 2026 | 00:34:17 | |
Welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast. In this month's podcast we look at our half yearly report. Prices up but sales slightly down. How does that happen and what is happening overall in the market. We also go through some of our recent posts and publications and take some gratuitous swipes at Elon Musk because he's fair game.

| The Form, The Heat, The Summer | 03 Jul 2026 | 00:21:08 | |
Summer, The Form, and What We Have Been Up To Welcome to the Valencia Property Podcast and welcome to the summer. This month we are sponsored by heat, which unlike FIFA's friends at Hydration Breaks has not offered us any money. In this episode we go through "The Form", the thing that starts every working relationship at Valencia Property Group, section by section. When you are visiting, your budget, your must haves, your would likes, your deal breakers and why the question people most want to skip is the one you absolutely should not. Fill it in. It can take just five minutes and it is where your journey starts. We also run through what went out on the blog and Substack this month, including the Valencia Property Reading List, the Full Service Package, the Referral Programme (we pay you 10% of our fee for a completed referral), The Secret Seven on why referrals convert better than cold leads, The Townhouse Enigma, and our guide to Spanish mortgages for Americans. Plus four new properties covering quite a range: a seven bedroom corner plot in Entrenaranjos at €790,000, a five bedroom mountain retreat in Naquera at €745,000, a four bedroom city apartment in Monte-Olivete at €425,000 (NOW SOLD) and a solar powered, future-proofed house in La Cañada at €650,000.

| Pets, Payments and Property Renovations (Along with some property tax news) | 03 Jun 2026 | 00:17:22 | |
From the 1st of June, property transfer tax in the Valencia region drops from 10% to 9% on purchases under one million euros. We explain what that means in real money and why some buyers are deliberately delaying their completions to take advantage of it. We also cover the full story of converting a derelict restaurant into the Valencia Property office, gym and studio — seventeen months, two refused planning applications, a visit from the police, and a sign saying Salida. On the rental side, Isabella from Stepping Stone Rentals explains why accepting pets makes commercial sense for property owners. Plus the latest from the blog: leisure activities in Valencia, the ultimate FAQ compilation, and what fourteen people were doing in a notary office at the same time.

| Siestas, Market Dynamics and Leaving Cali An Interview With Lisa. | 08 May 2026 | 00:53:45 | |
Siestas, Market Dynamics and Leaving Cali: An Interview With Lisa This week we have two things for you. A look at why the Valencia property market is not heading for a crash (Probably and unless) and an interview with someone who traded Silicon Valley for El Carmen and has not looked back. On the market side we get into the numbers. Supply, demand, interest rates, the different types of buyers keeping this market moving and why a soft landing looks nothing like 2008. If you have been waiting for prices to fall before you make your move, this is worth listening to. Then we talk to Lisa Guinn. Thirty years in Silicon Valley, the last stretch at Google, and three years ago she and her husband packed up and left California for Valencia. We talk about what drove that decision, what the move actually looked like in practice, and how you find a rental in this city when you have no Spanish and no local payslip to show a landlord. Spoiler: At Stepping Stone Rentals we sorted it out. Lisa is in her seventies, retired, pays around two hundred euros a month for private health insurance with no co-pays and no deductibles along with 175 for the Convenio Especial (We talk about that too), and describes her social life here as more active than anything she had in California. We also get into our sponsor the siesta, and why the Silicon Valley culture of bragging about how many hours you spent at work is not just unpleasant but pointless. We talk about what thirty years in tech taught her, what she thinks has gone wrong with it since, and what the view of the United States looks like from the outside when you have had three years to think about it. The spoiler here is "It's different" Her advice to anyone sitting on the fence: get off it. Come for six months. No decision is irreversible.

| Housing Costs, What the IRS Wants, and Can Paul Juggle or Ride a Unicycle? | 08 Apr 2026 | 00:34:36 | |
Season 4, Episode 8 - April 2026 The April episode is here. This month we're proudly sponsored by the Almuerzo, Valencia's greatest invention. No corporate sponsor would have us probably, so we went with something we actually believe in. We run through everything we published in March, including our big two-part series on the real running costs of owning a property in Valencia. Part one covers electricity and why Spain's renewable energy story is actually good news for your bills. Part two covers everything else: IBI, gas, water, community fees, internet, insurance, pools, gardens. Real numbers for a city apartment and a house with a pool. We also talk about the property market. Americans now make up around two-thirds of our transactions, which is remarkable. The global chaos, the Iran situation, tariffs, oil prices. None of it has slowed things down here. If anything, it's pushing more people our way. The main interview this month is with Teresa Villaseca, one of our clients who's setting up a business in Valencia helping Americans abroad with their US tax returns. If you're American and thinking of moving here, or you're already here and confused about FBAR, FATCA and why the IRS hasn't forgotten about you, this is essential listening. The US is one of only two countries that taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. The other one is Eritrea. Good company to be in US, good company. And we finish with our getting-to-know-the-team segment. This month it's Paul's turn. Can he juggle or ride a unicycle? Can he paint your portrait in oils or your walls with emulsion? And is he really from Cork or is it just an affectation?

| The American Exodus, The Markets, SSR, Handbooks, Renovations, L’ELiana and More | 07 Mar 2026 | 00:41:48 | |
March on the Valencia Property Podcast. Fallas is on, nothing is getting done efficiently, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This month we've got a packed episode covering six topics that matter if you're thinking about moving to Valencia or you're already in the process. We talk about the Americans — why they're coming, what they're actually saying when they arrive, and what the move looks like up close. We look at where the Valencia property market sits in Q1 2026, with an honest read on prices, stock and who's buying. We cover the Stepping Stone rental pathway, the new Valencia Property and Stepping Stone handbooks (download links in the show notes), and what nobody tells you about renovating in Spain. We also get to know two of the team. David from Valencia Property and Isabella from Stepping Stone Rentals both sit down for a Q+A — who they are, what they do, and why they do it. If you've been thinking about making the move, this one covers a lot of ground. Next month: a proper interview with someone who's made the move and now helps Americans navigate the tax side of living abroad. IRS, Hacienda, all of it.

| The 2025 Yearly Review and The Big Valencia Property Quiz | 05 Dec 2025 | 00:28:05 | |
Welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast – your monthly dose of property talk, Valencia insights, and this month, something completely different. We're wrapping up what's been another record year for Valencia Property, and I'll take you through exactly what's been happening in the market: who's buying, what they're looking for, and why Valencia continues to be the smart choice for international buyers, particularly Americans who now make up our biggest client group. But before we get into all that, we also have a brand new feature – a knockout quiz about Spain. Paul and David go head-to-head testing their knowledge on various aspects of Spain. I won't spoil who won, but let's just say there were some surprising gaps in knowledge and a few tense moments as bragging rights were at stake. It was genuinely a lot of fun, and we'll be making this a regular fixture. We've got our second-ever sponsor – the magnificent Almuerzo – hear more about that on the pod and I also need to address the technical chaos we've been dealing with over the past couple of weeks. You may not have noticed it, we most certainly did! So settle in, and let's get started.

| Should You Buy a Spanish Property Through a Company? | 08 Oct 2025 | 00:22:23 | |
Hey everyone, welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast. Remember that today's episode is sponsored by Paella. Yes, the dish. Paella wanted to sponsor us because, and I quote, "We've been bringing people together around a shared pan for centuries, and apparently that's your whole philosophy about community and Spanish living." Fair point, Paella. Fair point. Today we talk about buying as an individual rather than a company, mortgages on Spanish property and work life balance in Valencia before taking a look at Zebra Blocks and new architecture and whether they work in new neighbourhoods in and around Valencia.

| Spain's 100% Property Tax and Why "It Depends" Is Always The Answer | 04 Jun 2025 | 00:20:55 | |
Welcome back to the Valencia Property podcast. Today as usual we’ve got a packed episode covering medium-term rentals, a key money-saving tip for buyers, the rise of coliving, and why ‘it depends’ is the answer to so many questions. Plus, we’ll break down the latest updates to Spain’s visa process—because yes, things have changed again and we'll talk about that pesky proposal to introduce a 100% tax for foreign buyers on Spanish property and why it probably won't happen

The Digital Nomad Episode (AKA I'm Away) A bit of a different podcast this month as I am currently homeless as a modernisation goes on at my house so I am one of those famous digital nomads working from anywhere on the laptop. As usual we will start the podcast by taking a look at what we have published in the last month and how it might affect you as a buyer of Valencia property and we are also looking at our new Dutch website and one of the services that Marije will be offering within it. Then we turn to Stepping Stone Rentals where we have a fully functioning website and the ability to book our properties and every week we have more and more properties available for our clients who start moving in this September. We present for you today our corporate press release if those are still a thing and more news about how to navigate the SSR website and blog. As usual we have our recommendations for the month too.

| The Rental Crisis in Valencia Updated | 05 Jun 2023 | 00:35:51 | |
The latest Valencia Property Podcast talks about the rental crisis in Valencia and gives an update on the situation after our post in October. We also talk about our new project "Stepping Stone Rentals and how this will affect your ability to land in Valencia with security, safety and a place to stay while you look for your long term rental or purchase. We also have an interview with our rental specialist Jessica all about the changes in the rental market over the last twenty years in Valencia and a continuation of our "What's it like to be a realtor in Valencia?" series. In terms of what we talk about on the podcast the links below will take you to the referred to articles. My favourite article was the one showing our renovations in Valencia and the before and after of them. It's so satisfying to get to the end of a project and show it off so we thought we'd do a few. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/15/renovating-properties-in-valencia/ My favourite video was again James Blick who this month talked about what it was like being a veteran immigrant into Spain. What happens when you get past the honeymoon stage? Is it still worth living in Spain. Take a look at the good the bad and the ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnUubH2X3o And my favourite property... oof so many to choose from this month as I said in the article about the eclectic or diverse nature of the Valencia Property market but I think my favourite was and is the house overlooking Cullera bay you can see at the link in the show notes. For under 300k you get great views, the seaside, outside space, lots of inside space, light and a feeling of freedom, you even get a lift opening out into your living room directly from the garage. It's superb. https://www.valencia-property.com/cullera/blue-skys-and-sea-views-2052.php Links for this podcast are below. https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/29/the-eclectic-nature-of-the-valencia-property-market/ https://valencia-property.com/new/stepping-stone-rentals-questionnaire/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/22/there-is-definitely-something-wrong-in-visa-land/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/15/renovating-properties-in-valencia/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/08/faq-me-2/ https://valenciaproperty.podbean.com/e/s2ep11/ https://valencia-property.com/new/2023/05/01/faq-me/ | |||
| Working as a Realtor in Valencia | 05 May 2023 | 00:37:22 | |
In this episode also known as "What's It Like to Work as an Estate Agent in Valencia?" we look into what we do in the shadows, all of the background work and how we work here at Valencia Property. There is an interview with David and Paul about their working days and also I tell you what it is that I do (Graham here) day to day in running the company (And producing this podcast, blogs, descriptions and more)
All of the links mentioned in the show can be found below Property of the month Is the House of the Rising Sun in Olocau.

Welcome back to the monthly podcast and this one is going to be a longer one, we know people like it when we get deep into the weeds with explaining how things work here, that's sort of counter intuitive but it's true, the deper the dive the better the reactions to the pod and the greater the number of downloads.
On this one we are looking back at the first month of 2023, what's been happening, what have we been doing and what's going on in the background and we will be looking into the rationales behind the website.

Starting with the one about the rental crisis https://valencia-property.com/new/2022/10/31/the-rental-crisis-in-valencia/ following it with the one about the new digital nomad or remote worker visa https://valencia-property.com/new/2022/11/07/spains-digital-nomad-visa-has-arrived/ and then how to work with us at Valencia Property https://valencia-property.com/new/2022/11/14/how-to-work-with-valencia-property/ before finishing off with our two guides to the coast, the first here https://valencia-property.com/new/2022/11/21/the-valencia-community-coastline-towns-worth-investigating-part-one/ and the second here https://valencia-property.com/new/2022/11/28/the-valencia-community-coastline-towns-worth-investigating-part-two/
