The second quarter of 2025 confirms the strong momentum of the residential market in Catalonia. Between April and June, 31,943 home sales were recorded, the best quarterly figure since 2007, with year-on-year growth of 13.7%. This figure brings the annual total to more than 120,000 transactions, consolidating the upward trend that began in 2023.
Prices also continue to rise. The average price per square meter reached €2,604, representing a quarterly increase of 0.8% and a year-over-year increase of 4.5%. This value marks a new high since 2010. In the province of Barcelona, the price per square meter stands at €2,940, and in the city of Barcelona, it reached €3,993/square meter.
Used housing continues to be the most in-demand (82% of the total), but the increase in new home sales is notable, growing by 11.8% compared to the previous quarter.
Regarding the rental market, prices remain strained. The average monthly rent in Catalonia rose 6.1% year-over-year, reaching €2,507, with an average price per square meter of €18.6 per month. In the city of Barcelona, the average monthly rent reached €3,200, with an effort ratio of 39.8% of the average salary, reflecting a worrying loss of affordability.
