The Catalan real estate market closed the fourth quarter of 2025 consolidating one of its most intense periods of activity since 2007. With 27,924 sales registered in the quarter, it achieved the second-best quarterly result since the middle of that year, bringing the year-on-year total to 112,105 transactions, 13.5% more than in 2024. The relative activity rate stands at 13.7 sales per thousand inhabitants, clearly above the levels considered normal.
The market's dynamism is supported by a favorable macroeconomic environment, with population growth (almost 95,000 new inhabitants in the last year) and an increase of 26,111 households, figures that exceed the capacity for new housing production. Existing homes continue to lead the market, representing 81.4% of transactions, while new homes account for 18.6%.
In terms of prices, the upward trend continues. The average price per square meter has reached €2,709, with a quarterly increase of 1.5% and year-on-year growth of 6.4%. Strong demand and a limited supply are maintaining tension in the market, especially in the most active areas.
In the rental market, the average price is €855, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.9%, while the asking price reaches €18.6/m²/month. However, supply shows signs of stagnation, which limits price correction.
The mortgage market remains at high levels, with 80,547 mortgages in the last twelve months (+9.6%), although with stable interest rates and a slight deterioration in accessibility indicators.
