The change of cycle puts the real estate on alert. The digitization of the real estate sector, the problem of access to housing, especially by the younger sectors of the population, the growth of secondary cities or the role of the consumer are some of the debates that will be raised in the Real Estate Exhibition Internacional de Madrid (Sima), to be held in the capital between May 30 and June 2.

One of the burning issues, which will be addressed at the Real Estate Conference on May 29, will be the difficulty of accessing housing, motivated by the increase in prices. "The shortage of supply in established cities such as Madrid or Barcelona means that other investment destinations are being sought," said Eloy Bohúa, General Director of Planner Exhibitions, at an informative event presentation ceremony.

Another challenge of real estate is its digitization. In this context, the congress will hold a conference to address the industrialization of residential developments and the impact of proptech in the real estate sector.

The fair will have 14,500 square meters of exhibition and the presence of 250 companies and institutions. The supply of homes will amount to 35,000 properties, both new and second hand. The organizers of the event expect to exceed the 14,000 visitors reached in 2018, although they admit that "the electoral coincidence" may affect the final figure.
