This is a website for buyers, owners, and sellers of property in Spain, offering reliable information and resources to help you get things done with confidence. It is run by Mark Stücklin, author of the Spanish Property Doctor Column in The Sunday Times (2005-2008), and the book ‘Need to Know: Buying Property in Spain’ published by Collins.
The final figures for 2015 are in from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), showing house prices up by 4.2% last year.
The house price index published by the INE is one of the indices included in the SPI House Price Index Tracker (see chart above), and the last one to come in for 2015 (highlighted in yellow).
It supports a picture of house prices back in positive territory, but not showing much sign of taking off.
The price of new homes rose by 5.8% last year, and resales by 4%, all as a national average.
By region, prices rose the most in Madrid (+7.8%), followed by the Balearics (+7%), and Catalonia not far behind (+5.9%). Prices rose in all Spain’s autonomous regions, but by just 0.7% in Aragon.
