Average price in Spain is now \u20ac2,534 p\/m\u00b2<\/p><\/div>\n

In Spain, house prices increased 1.8% compared to the previous month<\/strong>, while the year-over-year increase was 11.7%. This brings the average cost to \u20ac2,534 p\/m\u00b2 in April, according to data. This year-over-year increase (11.7%) is the highest increase in the last 228 months (19 years).<\/p>\n

Spain has gone from a year-over-year increase of 7.4% in April 2024 to 11.7% in the same period in 2025. In the last 12 months, housing prices have increased by 265 euros per square meter, i.e. from \u20ac2,269 p\/m\u00b2 in April 2024 to \u20ac2,534 p\/m\u00b2 in April 2025.<\/p>\n

“The housing market in Spain is undergoing the greatest transformation of the last decade due to the impact of macroeconomic, geopolitical, and legislative changes on its evolution. The structural problem between high demand and scarce supply is increasingly putting significant upward pressure on prices. In fact, although nationally the cost of housing is still 15% away from reaching its highest level, the increase presented marks an all-time high. This indicates that we have never faced such a rapid rate of price increases<\/em>.” explained Mar\u00eda Matos, spokesperson for Fotocasa<\/a>.<\/p>\n
