Based on this latest monthly increase and applied to an 80 m\u00b2 standard home, the <strong>average property value<\/strong> stands at \u20ac231,744 in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Housing prices have once again recorded an increase of more than 20% for the second consecutive month, marking the sharpest rise since records began. This surge places the average price just 1.9% below historical highs, approaching the \u20ac2,952\/m\u00b2 peak recorded in April 2007. Despite the intensity of these increases, this is not a housing bubble, but rather the largest imbalance between supply and demand ever observed. Buyer demand is at record levels, while new housing production remains clearly insufficient to absorb it. Forecasts indicate that second-hand housing prices will reach a new record in the coming months, further complicating affordability for middle- and lower-income households,<\/em>\u201d explains Mar\u00eda Matos, Director of Research and spokesperson for <a href=\"https:\/\/prensa.fotocasa.es\/el-precio-de-la-vivienda-arranca-el-ano-con-otra-subida-del-20-en-espana\/\">Fotocasa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Spain has therefore experienced a 20.4% increase over the past year in the average price of an 80 m\u00b2 property, rising from \u20ac192,432 to <strong>\u20ac231,744 in January 2026<\/strong> \u2014 a difference of \u20ac39,312.
