Overview
- Idealista’s Q3 2025 snapshot identifies 23,010 properties advertised as undergoing occupation, representing roughly 3% of homes for sale nationwide.
- The concentration is highest in Catalonia (39% of the total), followed by Andalusia (22%), the Valencian Community (11%), the Community of Madrid (6%) and the Region of Murcia (6%).
- By city, Barcelona lists the most occupied homes for sale (855), ahead of Madrid (776), Seville (558), Murcia (427) and València (200).
- Listings are typically priced with steep discounts that can approach 50%, while banks generally refuse to finance these assets, channeling sales to buyers with cash.
- Idealista says many owners sell after long waits for judicial action and calls for policies to protect owners and provide legal certainty, noting the data are a cross‑section and not a trend series.
