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.

That is good news for homeowners whose homes appreciate over time, but an issue for renters who are yet to purchase a property.
