The first quarter of 2025 confirmed the strength of the real estate market in Catalonia. With 29,685 home sales, this represents the best quarterly figure since 2007, representing year-on-year growth of 22.5%. This upswing is supported by a favorable economic environment, falling interest rates, and sustained domestic and international demand.
The average price per square meter reached €2,582, with a quarterly increase of 1.4% and an annual increase of 4.5%, reaching its highest level since 2010. Existing housing continues to dominate (81.6%), although new construction has shown significant growth (up 25.2% year-on-year).
The rental market, however, remains the most stressed area. Despite a 20.5% increase in supply compared to the previous year, prices continue to rise: the average rent offered in Catalonia is €2,406 per month (up 18% year-on-year) and €18.4 per square meter per month (up 11.3%). This imbalance reflects a still insufficient supply to meet the high demand, especially in urban areas.
Regarding the mortgage market, more than 70,000 mortgages have been registered in the last 12 months, 11.2% more than the previous year. The average amount per home was €167,681, with an average monthly payment of €826, which represents 32.8% of the average salary, in line with affordability standards.
