Spain house prices rise 13.2% to €3,158 per sqm in October 2026
Spanish second-hand asking prices reached €3,158 per square metre in October 2026, up 13.2% on the year, the 72nd consecutive month of annual rises.
The facts
- Fotocasa put the asking price of second-hand housing in Spain at 3,158 euro per square metre in October 2026, +13.2% on the year and 0.7% on the month.
- A standard 80 square metre home therefore listed at 252,652 euro, against 223,129 euro a year earlier.
- It was the 72nd consecutive month of annual increase, a run that began in November 2020.
- All 17 autonomous communities rose. Murcia led at 24.8%, ahead of Navarra at 16.7% and La Rioja at 16.0%; Baleares at 3.1%, Canarias at 3.7% and Madrid at 4.8% were the slowest.
- Prices rose in 48 of the 50 provinces. Soria fell 12.8% and Teruel 0.4%.
- By level, Baleares is the dearest community at 5,360 euro per square metre, ahead of Madrid at 5,333; Extremadura is the cheapest at 1,409.
What it means for your money
- Entering costs 13.2% more than a year ago. The same 80 square metre home is 29,523 euro dearer.
- Where you buy now changes the arithmetic more than when. Murcia at 24.8% and Baleares at 3.1% are the same month in the same country, an eightfold difference in annual growth.
- Glopra's own Spain series, built from idealista's national figures, shows prices 12.8% higher over twelve months, within half a point of Fotocasa's 13.2%. Two independently built indices are describing the same move.
- For an owner already holding, a 72nd straight annual rise lifts the exit price. Fotocasa's head of research describes a market finding its growth limit and reports demand one percentage point lower over six months.
What to watch
- Madrid at 4.8%, and Barcelona where only 6 of 10 districts rose, are where the national rate would slow first if it slows.
- These are asking prices from listings, not registered transactions, and the national figure is benchmarked to a standard 80 square metre home.
- The release's own text rounds the capital-city group; the province and community figures quoted here are the itemised ones.
