Visitor’s Profile

Planner Exhibitions, the organizer of the autumn edition of Sima, believes in the arrival of many potential buyers as they have dominated the previous events. As the guests themselves admit, 97% of them come to the fair in search of a home or other property type, whereas 67% declares an intention to buy within a year.

The Sima Otoño exhibition is addressed to diverse kinds of investors. The biggest group of them looks for a primary residence property (both first and repossessed homes), but many also want to buy a holiday apartment. Others visit the fair because they are interested in the real estate market as an investment target.

More than 1.000 people signed up for the event. The number is unusually high if compared to the attendance to the previous editions of Sima.

When it comes to supply location and characteristics, the general public will find around 200 new housing developments, as well as existing homes in the city of Madrid, in the region, border provinces and coastal destinations. The offer comprises both subsidized and unsubsidized properties with various purchase possibilities.

Non-residential products, i.e. offices, retails, CRE and land, complete the supply range. Also, the visitors may sign contracts with such service providers as appraisal, valuation, energy certification or rehabilitation firms, to give few examples.

The main attraction of the event will be the financial entites which will present their mortgage offer, giving details on interest rates and terms and conditions, says Eloy Bohua, the CEO of Planner Exhibitions.

The fair’s opening hours: on Friday 24th and on Saturday 25th of October from 11 am to 8 pm, whereas on Sunday 26th from 11 am to 3 pm.
