The housing market in Spain achieved over 700,000 transactions in 2025, marking the highest level since 2007, reflecting an 11.5% increase from the previous year.
In 2025, Spain's housing market reached a significant milestone with over 700,000 home sales, totaling 714,237 transactions, which is the highest level since 2007 just before the housing market bubble burst. This figure represents an impressive 11.52% increase compared to 2024, translating to nearly 74,000 more sales. This resurgence in housing activity marks the first time in 18 years that sales have exceeded the 700,000 threshold, underlining a robust recovery in the real estate sector.
The data, released by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), aligns with the optimistic forecasts from various real estate agents and analysts who had predicted a record year in the housing market. The 2025 figures signify a significant rebound following a period of stagnation and price corrections in the real estate market. As the economy starts to recover and consumer confidence increases, more buyers are entering the market, contributing to this surge in home sales.
This landmark achievement prompts discussions regarding the implications for the overall economy and the potential risks associated with such rapid growth in the housing sector. While increased transactions can stimulate economic activity, they may also raise concerns about a new housing bubble if prices escalate too quickly. Policymakers and stakeholders within the real estate market will need to closely monitor these trends to ensure sustainable growth going forward.
