In the past year, out of ~723,000 home sales, only ~63,000 were new constructions. That means less than 1 in 10 homes sold are new builds. This scarcity intensifies competition for existing stock especially in desirable locations.

Spain’s Proposed 100% Property Tax on Non-EU Buyers: How Will You Be Affected?
Spain has proposed a 100% tax on property purchases by non-EU residents, aiming to curb soaring housing prices. The move follows the end of the Golden Visa and tighter rules on tourist rentals.
The tax could make buying in Spain far more expensive for non-EU investors, including Britons post-Brexit raising big questions about its impact on affordability, tourism, and the wider market.

💬 Reader’s Question
“Q: What is the new Anti-Okupa Law and how does it affect property owners?”
Spain’s 2025 Anti-Okupa Law speeds up evictions and strengthens owner rights against illegal squatting. Police can now act within 48 hours in clear cases, owners are protected from counter-claims of harassment, and penalties for organized squatting groups have increased.
For property owners, this means cases that used to drag on for months can now be resolved in days offering much greater security for second homes and investment properties.
