Spain Home Prices Surge 12.8% in Q3, Fastest Since 2007

A shortage of new construction is pushing prices higher in the second-hand market.

Overview

  • Official INE data show national housing prices up 12.8% year over year in Q3 after a 12.7% rise in Q2, extending a 42‑quarter upward run.
  • Resale homes rose 13.4% year over year and 3.3% quarter over quarter, while new-build prices increased 9.7% annually and 0.6% on the quarter.
  • All regions posted annual gains, led by Murcia (+15%) and Aragón (+14.6%), with Navarra (+10.9%) at the low end; Euskadi rose 11.6% and Asturias 13.5%.
  • Property registrars report October home sales fell 3.6% year over year to about 67,600 transactions, signaling softer volumes even as prices stay elevated.
  • Spain has ranked among the five fastest-rising housing markets globally for three consecutive quarters, and authorities reject a 2007‑style bubble even as European institutions flag notable overvaluation.
