Spanish property sales fell -17.7% in 2020<\/p><\/div>\n

The number of property transfers registered in the property registers (from public deeds) in December 2020 was 150,891, which is 9.1% more than in the same month of 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the case of registered property sales, the number of transfers is 76,516, with an annual increase of 7.2%. 84.3% of the sales registered in December correspond to urban properties and 15.7% to rustic properties. In the case of urban property, 56.0% were sales of homes, according to data from the INE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The number of sales of rustic properties increased by 18.5% in December, on the annual rate, and that of urban properties by 5.3%. Within the latter, sales of homes registered an annual increase of 3.7%<\/strong>. This is good news. Considering the damage the covid restrictions did in the early stages of the pandemic, it is nice to see the market showing signs of recovery.<\/p>\n

20.5% of the homes transferred by sale in December were new properties, while 79.5% were second-hand. The number of sales of new homes represented an increase of 12.6%, while the sales of second-hand homes increased by 1.6%<\/strong> when compared to December 2019.<\/p>\n
