Spain 2025 – Foreign Buyers Continue to Drive the Property Market Upwards
After years of steady growth, Spain’s housing market remains one of Europe’s strongest. In 2025, international buyers continue to shape demand — despite mild policy uncertainty and rising prices. Spain still offers a rare mix of lifestyle, stability, and long-term value that appeals to buyers worldwide.
Key Hotspots for Foreign Buyers
Foreign demand continues to focus on a few standout regions:

Málaga (Costa del Sol): Strong activity from Scandinavian, British, Dutch, and German markets.
Balearic Islands: Premium lifestyle appeal and limited supply keep prices resilient.
Valencia & Murcia: Affordable, emerging alternatives for younger families and remote professionals.
