Record figures in the real estate market
In September 2025, the average price per square meter of housing in Barcelona reached €4,989. This figure remained almost unchanged compared to August; however, over the past three months, there has been a 1.4% increase. Year-on-year, prices rose by 9.4%, highlighting a sustained trend of rising property values in the Catalan capital.
Comparison with national figures
Barcelona stands out noticeably from the rest of Spain. Nationwide, the average price per square meter of housing is €2,517. Although the annual increase across Spain was higher — 15.3%, the initial values were significantly lower than in Barcelona. As a result, the gap between the Catalan capital and other regions persists.
