All articles →Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
After Spain: Where Europe’s Foreign Property Money Goes Next
Spain is now late-cycle and crowded for foreign buyers — so where does Europe's property money rotate next? CASABROVA separates revealed preference, structural quality (the Score) and timing (the Master Index), and maps the case for Romania, Poland and the UAE.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — June 2026
June’s briefing is a one-time Score reset: Netherlands, Ireland and Poland cluster at the top; Spain, Portugal and Czechia remain in withdrawal; Greece is at peak; Germany and the UK move toward recovery; Romania enters the Virtual Portfolio.
Global Investor Briefing — May 2026
Scores were stable this month — the real stories are a generational currency window for shekel buyers, Greece emerging as a withdrawal candidate while Spain surprisingly holds at peak, and three markets moving from correction into recovery.
The Yield Illusion: Why Municipal STR Regulations are Destroying Cross-Border Valuations
A massive "Yield Illusion" has formed. Investors are pricing properties based on historical cash flows, fatally ignoring that hyper-local municipal regulations have decoupled historical performance from future returns.

Market Review — Málaga
Málaga has emerged as Spain's tech and startup capital, earning the nickname "Silicon Beach." The city's property market benefits from both traditional coastal tourism and a growing community of remote workers and tech professionals. Soho, Centro Histórico, and Malagueta are prime investment areas. The planned Málaga Tech Park expansion and improved high-speed rail connections signal strong future growth.
