House prices have since picked up and in 2023, the average square meter price reached 2,809 euros - just slightly below 2008 levels. Though prices have risen across the whole country, some regions, such as the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia, experienced faster growth than others.

Spain’s real estate market behind others The property market has made great progress, but it is still far off the rest of its European counterparts, and it is positioned, in fact, at the bottom of the European list of the EMF’s house price index, which is led by Czechia and Portugal. Supply is a major factor influencing the price development. Many European countries suffer housing shortages due to sluggish construction activity, and Spain is no exception. In 2022, ranked among the countries with the lowest number of residential construction starts per 1,000 citizens in Europe. Buying vs renting As happens with many other countries, the affordability of buying a home and renting will differ considerably dependent on the area.

Spain Real Estate and Affordable Housing Market valued at USD 300 Bn, driven by urbanization, government initiatives, and foreign investments in key cities like Madrid and Barcelona.

The Spain residential real estate market size was USD 145.18 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 264.67 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in construction as well as population.

Spain’s real estate market is posting a positive trend, especially in terms of demand. The revival in house sales was high in 2021. For instance, 468,000 transactions were completed by October 2021, a growth of 35.9% compared to 2020 and up by 8.3% on 2019. The activity in the residential sector was highest since 2008. A large part of this revival in demand has come from a reduction in pent-up demand and the forced savings accumulated during the months of lockdown and severely restricted travel, combined with highly favorable financing conditions, which make it more attractive to buy and invest in real estate assets. The residential sector is therefore on track to close 2021 with 545,000 sales in the year as a whole.

Before the pandemic began, the residential real estate market in Spain was growing at a healthy pace, which was then dented by Covid-19 as the construction of housing units came down. However, in 2021, the market was back on track with increase in construction.



As per the latest data from the Appraisal Society, it indicates that the price of new housing has remained stable, in a context of increased sales and improvement in economic indicators. The average price of new homes has grown 0.4% in Spain over the last 12 months to Euro 2,482 (approximately USD 2812) per square meter. This slight increase has been generalized and has been registered in 16 of the 17 autonomous communities.



The economic consequences of the Covid crisis made a dent in the real estate market, and has reflected in the 16.7% collapse of sales in Spain in 2020 to 419,898 transactions. As a result, experimental ways of life are introduced into the real estate market to compensate for the lack of social interaction between people.
