In Spain, the price of second-hand housing in the third quarter of 2021 experienced a quarterly increase of 0.4% and a year-on-year increase of 2.5%, placing the average price at 1,892 euros/m2. However, property prices performed unevenly across Spain. This can be seen in the Fotocasa Real Estate Index data, which also shows that the quarterly increase (0.4%) is the first rise after two years of falls.

Despite the average year-on-year increase of 2.5%, Spanish provincial capitals presented a disparate evolution in their real estate markets in September. In fact, prices fell in 38% of these cities. Year-on-year declines ranged from -4.6% in Jaén capital to -0.2% in Burgos.
