The price of secondary housing in Spain increased by 10% in June over the past 12 months. According to the latest Idealista price index, a square meter costs 1,816 euros. If we consider the quarterly changes, the growth is 1.8%.
According to Francisco Inareta, a representative of Idealista, "the magnitude of the June price increase is associated with an atypical drop that the market experienced after several months of stagnation. On the other hand, prices in major capitals remained at the same level or slightly decreased. Judging by the sales and mortgage data, which remain high, it is likely that prices will continue to follow the same trend in the coming months."
