Who buys property in North Tenerife?
The north has traditionally been very popular with German and Scandinavian buyers. Many bought here to enjoy a pleasant retirement or long stays on the island.
The north is becoming increasingly popular because well-priced properties and investment opportunities can be found compared to the south of the island.
What buyers weigh up: The climate can differ from the south, particularly in winter. Depending on the area, expect more rain and cloud cover and potentially lower temperatures. Language barriers can be more noticeable than in the international resorts of the south, so a basic understanding of Spanish helps if you plan to relocate permanently.
A realistic price and a little more patience
Properties may take longer to sell in the north because there is generally less demand from international buyers than in the south.
As in the south, a realistic market price will be important to sell your property as we move towards the end of 2026 and into 2027.
