According to notariale records, the average price of Spanish homes reached 2,100 euros per square metre in June, a level never seen before, with Madrid and the Balearic Islands exceeding 4,000 euros/m². The milestone reflects sustained upward pressure on housing values amid limited supply and strong investor interest. While sellers and developers may benefit from higher valuations, prospective buyers face deteriorating affordability and mortgage lenders see rising loan‑to‑value exposures. Market participants will watch forthcoming price data and any policy responses aimed at tempering the pace of increase.
