New apartment sales up 17.5% year-on-year<\/p><\/div>\n

November 2020 saw 48,251 home sales in Spain<\/a>, representing a year-on-year fall of 0.9%. Considering the months of lockdown, this fall is nothing like as bad as was expected.<\/p>\n

By type of property, the sale of apartments\/flats showed a year-on-year fall of 7.6%<\/strong>, according to a report from the Notaries<\/a>. This reduction in apartment sales is due entirely to the fall in sales of second-hand properties (-9.4%) as the number of new apartments sold increased by a whopping 17.5%<\/strong> year-on-year. The sales of single-family homes (villas, townhouses) also increased significantly with a 22.2% year-on-year increase.<\/p>\n

Average Price<\/h3>\n

The average price of home sales in November reached \u20ac1,362<\/strong> per square metre. This represents a fall in price of 5.7% when compared to November 2019. This reduction in the price per square meter of home sales was exclusively due to the decrease in the price per square meter of apartments (-5.4% year-on-year) since single-family homes saw average prices increase by 0.2% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Within these, the price of second-hand apartments stood at \u20ac1,498 (-6.9% year-on-year) and that of new apartments at \u20ac2,198<\/strong> (-8.2% year-on-year).<\/p>\n

The total number of new mortgage loans made in November was 33,976, representing an increase of 1.9% year-on-year. The average amount of those loans was \u20ac161,702, thus reflecting a drop of 8.1% year-on-year.<\/p>\n
