Continued Price Rises and Demand

What to Expect from the Spanish Property Market This Autumn – A Legal Perspective from SGM Abogados

As autumn unfolds in Spain, those looking to buy or rent property may find both challenges and opportunities ahead. Drawing on expert insights, here’s a clear look at the current real estate landscape—and how SGM Abogados can support you through every step.

Key Highlights of the Property Market

Rising Prices and Strong Demand
In the first half of 2025, Spain recorded nearly 380,000 home sales, representing an 8 % increase year-on-year and exceeding the decade’s average by over a third. Property values have climbed 8 % over the past 12 months, surpassing the previous 2007 peak in nominal terms according to notaries’ figures.
What This Means for Autumn Property Seekers
- Buyers have reason for cautious optimism: mortgage rates remain favorable, and persistent demand could motivate sellers to negotiate more flexibly.
- Renters may still face pressure, as the rental segment shows no clear sign of easing

Regional and Broader Market Trends

Recent analyses highlight that rental prices in major cities have surged dramatically, with some areas showing over 10 % year-on-year increases, and room rentals up by 90 % compared to 2015.
The Bank of Spain has warned of a potential property bubble, noting that house prices may be overvalued by as much as 8.5 %, and the housing shortage in Spain could be around 450,000 units.
On the flip side, Spain remains one of Europe’s strongest real estate markets, with continued resilience, investor interest, and robust performance across residential and logistics sectors.
