Housing prices in metropolitan areas rose sharply in May

The overall upward trend continues across all regions, with “Metropolitan Areas” standing out this month, showing accelerated growth both on a monthly basis (+2.1%) and year-over-year (+16.8%). The General Index rose 1.3% between April and May, maintaining a year-over-year increase of 15.4%. ‘Islands’ (+19.3%) and ‘Mediterranean Coast’ (+17.5%) are the regions where new and used housing prices have risen the most since May 2025. ‘Capital Cities and Major Cities’ and ‘Metropolitan Areas’ have surpassed the 2007 highs for the first time in nominal terms, although when adjusted for inflation, they remain more than 30% below ‘boom’ levels. Despite signs of moderating demand, both home sales and mortgages continue to show robust levels above the historical average.

Capital cities led the monthly rise in home prices in April

The General Index rose 1.6% month-over-month in April, bringing the year-over-year increase to 15.4%. The "Capital Cities and Major Cities" group stands out with the largest monthly increase (+1.9%) and is approaching its all-time high (-0.5%) in nominal terms. Residential price growth is accelerating across all groups, with year-over-year increases ranging from 12.4% to 20.3%, well above inflation. The average home value in Spain is 2.2% below the 2007 highs in nominal terms and 34% lower in real terms (adjusted for inflation).
