Regions Leading in Housing Price Growth
In 2025, Spain experienced uneven growth in prices for resale housing, with cities in the Valencian Community and Murcia standing out for price increases that significantly surpassed the national average. While the average cost per square meter across Spain rose by 15.7%, some municipalities saw increases of more than 37%.
The absolute record was set by Malpica de Bergantiños in Galicia, where prices soared 57% in a year. Following closely were Cox and Rafal, two towns in Alicante province, with prices up 54% and 53%, respectively. In the Madrid region, Villarejo de Salvanés recorded a 48% increase.
Murcia and Valencia: The Unexpected Champions
In Murcia, two cities—Torre Pacheco and Fuente Álamo—delivered impressive results with growth rates of 46% and 44%. In Cantabria, the municipality of Marina de Cudeyo added 39% to last year’s prices. Rounding out the top ten are La Pobla de Vallbona and Gilet in Valencia, as well as San Pedro del Pinatar in Murcia—all three posting a 37% increase.
Such regional variation suggests that demand for housing in these areas far outpaces supply. Experts attribute this to internal migration, growing investor interest, and shifting buyer preferences.
Hotspots of Price Growth: Who Else Is in the Race?
Other autonomous communities also have their own leaders. In Andalusia, the city of Los Villares in Jaén province grew by 35%, while in Castilla-La Mancha, Chozas de Canales posted a similar result. On the Canary Islands, the municipality of Arico in Tenerife increased by 33%, and in Castilla y León, Briviesca in Burgos recorded a 32% rise.
On the Balearic Islands, Sinéu added 27%, Laviana in Asturias and Banyoles in Catalonia both grew by 26%. In the Basque Country, Valle de Trápaga saw a 25% increase, Barbastro in Aragon went up by 22%, and Hervás in Extremadura posted an 18% gain.
Outsiders and Unexpected Results
Not all regions could boast such impressive growth rates. In La Rioja, the capital Logroño posted just 12% growth, and in Navarre, Tudela recorded 11%. These figures fall noticeably below the national average, which may point to a saturated market or waning interest in these areas.
Overall, 2025 has become a year of contrasts for Spain’s real estate market. While some cities break records for rising prices, others remain in the shadows. For buyers and investors, this is a signal to closely follow local trends and not rely only on the headline numbers.
