Spain’s coastal market remains resilient, according to the Coastal Property 2025 report

The latest **Coastal Property 2025 report**, prepared by **Tinsa España by Accumin** and **Accumin Intelligence**, analyses the evolution of Spain’s coastal residential market and confirms its continued strength in a changing economic environment.

Foreign demand remains a key driver. In 2024, purchases by international buyers in coastal provinces increased by **2.5%**, while overall home sales across Spain also showed positive momentum over the past year.

Coastal areas continue to concentrate most foreign transactions. Around **83% of foreign purchases** were completed in coastal locations, with a strong presence in the Islands and along the Mediterranean coast. Within this trend, the report identifies contrasting dynamics. Foreign demand declined in the Balearic Islands, while the **North Coast of Spain recorded notable growth**.



The profile of international buyers is also becoming more diverse. Alongside traditional demand from the UK and Germany, interest is increasing from the Netherlands, Poland, the United States and China. The analysis highlights that foreign residents and non-residents tend to seek different types of properties, influencing local market dynamics.

Investor interest in holiday rentals remains significant. According to **71% of Tinsa’s expert valuers** who contributed to the report, investment purchases linked to short-term rentals have increased in coastal markets.

At **Accumin**, we analyse these dynamics to support buyers and investors with clear information and grounded advice. In markets as active and segmented as Spain’s coastal regions, clarity is essential for sound decision-making.

The [full report](https://www.accumin.com/intelligence/insights/reports/spain-coastal-housing-2025-report-real-estate-intelligence-to-anticipate-the-market) is available in Spanish. An English version will be released soon.


Spain’s residential market heats up in 2025, with rising prices and growing territorial disparities

Newsroom35.jpg

The latest analysis conducted by **Accumin Intelligence** in collaboration with **Tinsa Spain** confirms increasing upward pressure on residential property prices in 2025, alongside a growing territorial imbalance across the Spanish market.

Data for the **second quarter of the year** point to particularly strong performance in a significant number of cities and prime or tourist-driven locations. In total, **34 province capitals recorded year-on-year price increases above 5%**, highlighting the strength of demand in major urban areas.

Several municipalities stand out for their exceptional momentum, including **Benidorm**, with a **19.6% annual increase**, and **Marbella**, where prices rose by **17.2%.** In **Madrid**, residential prices continue to show strong growth, increasing by **16.1% year-on-year** and **4.4% compared to the previous quarter**.

At a regional level, the analysis reveals that **only 12 autonomous communities posted quarterly increases above 2%**, underlining the uneven evolution of the residential market across Spain.

The **national average theoretical affordability ratio**, measuring the share of household income required to purchase a home, stands at **34.1%**, indicating sustained pressure on housing affordability.

At Accumin Intelligence, these insights are transformed into **strategic market knowledge**, supporting better-informed decision-making across investment and financing in an increasingly complex real estate market environment.

Price per square metre in Chile continues to rise in new housing despite stabilisation in total values

According to **Felipe García Bunster**, Head of South Latam at **Tinsa by Accumin**, the **total value of new residential properties in Chile has remained broadly stable since 2019**, while the **price per square metre continues to increase at an annual rate of around 7%.**

This trend is partly explained by **a gradual reduction in average dwelling sizes**, as the market adapts to tighter economic conditions. However, smaller homes do not necessarily translate into improved affordability, as financial pressure on households remains significant.

The analysis also points to a **growing preference for renting over buying**, alongside a closer alignment of supply with buyers’ real payment capacity. In **high-demand areas**, such as the **Metropolitan Region**, these adjustments are particularly pronounced.

In contrast, regions where prices remain relatively lower may still experience **further upward pressure**, highlighting the uneven evolution of the residential market across regions.

These insights support a deeper understanding of market dynamics and enable more informed decision-making across the real estate sector.


Real Estate price transparency

News & Events

[The Bank of Spain and the Ministry of Housing have recently signed a cooperation agreement to improve the analysis of the housing market in Spain.](https://www.europapress.es/economia/construccion-y-vivienda-00342/noticia-banco-espana-ministerio-vivienda-colaboraran-mejora-analisis-mercado-vivienda-20250630145420.html) This agreement aims to strengthen the quality of the information available, foster collaboration between both institutions, and advance toward a deeper and more structured understanding of the real estate and housing sector. Among its objectives are the creation of a shared data space and the joint development of analytical projects.

Reinforcing this move toward greater market insight, [the Bank of Spain has also entered into a new agreement with the General Council of Notaries](https://www.eleconomista.es/legal/noticias/13466847/07/25/el-consejo-general-del-notariado-y-el-banco-de-espana-firman-un-convenio-para-reforzar-el-analisis-del-mercado-inmobiliario.html). This collaboration is designed to further strengthen real estate market analysis by leveraging the precise and detailed data generated through notarial activities, complementing the broader push for enhanced data quality and research.

At Accumin, we see this development as an opportunity to improve transparency and build trust across the entire residential ecosystem; including a genuine conversation we believe is essential: the need to improve transparency around actual sale prices as a lever for a less opaque and a more precise and trustworthy sector. 

We’ve been working for some time with ﬁnancial institutions and other sector stakeholders to promote more accurate, data-driven, and calibratable models. Spain has a complex system in terms of access to real sale price information: the data exists, but it is subject to access restrictions, aggregation, and time lags. Even so, we believe there is room for progress — even without major legislative changes.

There are useful examples across Europe. In the United Kingdom, actual sale prices are openly accessible to all market participants. In Germany, although the real sales prices data is not public, there are systems in place so that appraisal ﬁrms and banks have access to real data allowing them to improve the quality and consistency of their valuations and risk assessments. Both models show that there are viable ways to make better use of available information and raise industry standards.

Improving transparency beneﬁts all stakeholders in the residential ecosystem: citizens and consumers, who can make better-informed decisions; ﬁnancial institutions, which can manage risk more effectively; and supervisory authorities, which gain more reliable tools to assess market conditions.

The recent announcement from the Bank of Spain and the Ministry of Housing opens the door to further progress in this direction. Not only from an institutional standpoint, but as part of a broader cultural and technical shift already underway.

At Accumin, we will continue contributing our experience, technological capabilities, and international perspective to support the evolution and trust on a real estate and housing market that is more efﬁcient, more transparent, and better aligned with the real needs of all its participants.

accumin-intelligence-logo-bg-purple.jpg

The group ranks among the top 24% of companies in the real estate sector worldwide.

Accumin, an international leader in real estate valuation, consulting, software, and data intelligence, has just been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal for its sustainability performance. The company ranks among the top 35% of those assessed by EcoVadis in the last year, and among the top 24% in the real estate sector.

Founded in Paris in 2007, EcoVadis is a global leader in corporate sustainability assessments, having analysed more than 130,000 companies in 175 countries. It scores companies' performance on a scale of 0 to 100 across 21 criteria grouped into four themes: Environment; Labour and Human Rights; Ethics; and Sustainable Procurement. Three levels of management are assessed in each area: policies, actions, and results (KPIs).

The 21 analysed criteria are based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Compact Principles, International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, ISO 26000 standards, and CERES principles.

Accumin's assessment was carried out at group level, taking into account all its subsidiaries — more than twenty companies in 14 countries. Accumin HoldCo obtained a score of 61 out of 100, placing the group in the 68(th) percentile and among the top 35% of companies with the highest scores assessed by Ecovadis worldwide in the last 12 months. Within the real estate sector, Accumin is among the top 24% in global sustainability performance, a position that reflects its commitment to environmental responsibility and social impact.

Accumin's strongest performance areas in the assessment were Ethics, with the company ranking among the top 10% of companies in its sector, and Environment.

‘This award demonstrates that Accumin's performance is significantly above average, both within its sector and on a global scale. It is great recognition of our work and commitment to sustainability, and it also shows us where we need to improve.

An overview of mortgage lending in 2024 in Mexico

News 32_1.jpg

An overview of mortgage lending in 2024 in México

According to the analysis "Real Estate Market Outlook 2025" prepared by Tinsa Mexico by Accumin, Nuevo León led the country in mortgage loan issuance in 2024 with 13.1% of the total, followed by Jalisco (9.3%) and the State of Mexico (6.9%). The share of these three states in loan issuance was very similar to that of 2023.

The states of Quintana Roo, Guanajuato, Baja California, and Querétaro are in the following positions, leaving Mexico City in eighth place.


By type of housing, used homes have gained ground in states such as Mexico City, the State of Mexico, and Baja California Sur, where they represent more than 55% of the number of loans issued. 

By segment, the largest percentage of mortgage loans are for traditional and mid-range housing. Second-hand property is particularly prevalent in the traditional segment, while new homes are particularly prevalent in the mid-range segment. 


By age group, 42% of those who took out a loan were between 25 and 34 years old, followed by those between 35 and 44 years old at 31.1%, and those between 45 and 54 years old at 16.1%. In 2023, a similar share will be among those between 24 and 34 years old, with the participation of young people becoming a trend that stimulates demand and the type of real estate offering.

According to economic analysts, the GDP outlook for 2025 will be conservative, with a 1.0% to 1.2% growth rate, as is traditional at the start of a new six-year term, coupled with external economic and political conditions that could influence the Mexican economy.


Mortgage lending is also expected to grow conservatively with stable interest rates.

At Tinsa by Accumin, our purpose is to empower people and companies to grow by making the best decisions in a constantly evolving market. Our goal is to provide precision, clarity, innovation, and build trust with our clients, identifying opportunities and risks that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Real Estate market trends for 2025: Tinsa Mexico by Accumin

Foto 9.jpg

2025 will be a stable year, although with challenges. At Tinsa México by Accumin, we expect sales growth in the housing market of 2.5% to 3%, driven by the following trends:

- Sales growth in the housing market is expected to be 2.5%.
- Institutional income is positioned as an organized alternative to the traditional income market.
- The retail market is starting to get busier.
- **Changes in the composition of the housing segment** - Currently, new housing development is concentrated in residential segments, although there is unmet demand in social sectors, creating an area of opportunity.
- **The sustainability theme is gaining momentum** - Green mortgages and their preferential rates will be an area of opportunity for both bridge loans and mortgages, so emphasis will be placed on seeking LED certifications and other sustainability issues. By the end of 2024, projects with a sustainability certification such as EDGE or LEED will represent less than 5% of active projects, clearly representing an area of opportunity.
- **Institutional rental market boom** - Also known as "multifamily," institutional rentals are positioning themselves as an organized alternative to the traditional rental market, known as the "shadow market," in areas with high capital gains, generating good investment opportunities.
- **Ticket Price above the value per square meter** - The value per square meter is still relevant. However, the Ticket Price has become a crucial factor for developers to stay in the market. In many cases, the size of the home is reduced to maintain a competitive Ticket Price.
- **Downsizing** - Over the last decade, the average home size has shrunk by more than 20m², due to economic and market factors. We've moved from ideal properties of between 90 and 110m² to more compact units, especially in central areas of large cities, in line with current ticket prices.
- **Young people's share of demand** - The increase in demand from young families is changing the type of property. This group is seeking well-located properties, both for rent and for sale, close to parks, gyms, shopping centers, and restaurants, sacrificing size.
- **Efficient amenities** - Efficient amenities that don't generate high maintenance costs are currently in demand. Amenities that create community and compensate for the small size of properties are favored. Walking distance will be a key factor in development.

##### Expansion of the retail market

After difficult years as a result of the pandemic, the retail sector is beginning to see more activity. We're seeing shopping centers with more occupied stores, lines of people shopping, and new brands are arriving in Mexico. The balance between online and physical commerce has been consolidated.
