What a buyer pays in Tarragona (Costa Dorada)

The $2,199 figure is a regional average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the most sought-after areas run well above it, the rest of the region well below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 15.3% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $33,645 on top of the $219,900 purchase price. That is above the 9.5% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here. Of that, the transfer tax alone is 4–13% depending on the buyer and the property; the rest is notary, registration and agency fees.
