Spain’s Home Sales Surge Toward Post-Bubble Record After Strong November

Cheaper mortgages following the ECB’s policy shift have lifted demand.

Overview

  • INE data show November transactions rose 7.8% year over year to 58,546 deals.
  • Sales reached 660,089 through November, up 11.8%, surpassing every full year since 2007.
  • New-build homes led the upswing with a 17.3% increase, outpacing a 10.4% rise in existing properties.
  • Andalucía recorded the most monthly sales, with sharp gains in Canarias, Navarra and Murcia, while Madrid, Asturias and Baleares posted declines.
  • Analysts say sustaining near-60,000 monthly deals hinges on low rates with Euribor around 2.5% and on banks’ mortgage strategies, which could turn more cautious.
