The housing crisis in the country has led young people to point out that finding a place to live is one of the major obstacles to face when it comes to independence or conquering life milestones.

According to a study published by Idealista, the supply of second-hand properties fell around 15% last year alone. The same study also found that Spain’s main cities have fewer houses for sale than in the same period last year. However, cities like Cáceres and Gerona showed different results.

According to the INE, in October 2024, the purchase and sale of housing shot up by 51.3% year-on-year, totalling 69,418 transactions. This is the biggest increase since August 2011 and the highest number of properties registered since May 2007.

The predictions for 2025 are still uncertain, especially after the nomination of Donald Trump as the president of the United States of America and the possible effects that tariffs and his economic and financial policies may have on the fall in interest rates and, consequently, in the Euribor.
