The Spanish real estate market is entering 2026 with positive expectations. According to the Spanish Association of Real Estate Franchisors, investment in the sector may increase by 5–10% compared with the previous year, while total investment volume could reach €19–20 billion. In addition, around 800,000 real estate purchase transactions are expected across the country.

📊 This forecast is driven by several factors:

— the market is supported by the stabilization of interest rates;
— demand remains strong from both domestic buyers and foreign capital;
— the supply of affordable housing still does not meet actual housing demand.

🏗 A change in the structure of demand also plays an important role. New real estate formats are actively developing in the market, including co-living, tourism-related residential property, and other mixed-use living models.

📍 Against this background, Madrid is further strengthening its positioning as an investment destination. In May 2026, the city will host the Spain Real Estate Summit, one of the key events for the country’s real estate sector. The summit will take place on May 5–6 at the La Finca business complex in Madrid and will bring together more than 350 international investors, developers, government representatives, and industry leaders. The event is organized by the industry publication Iberian Property together with CBRE and JLL, with the support of the investment promotion agency Invest in Madrid.

🤝 The participation of Madrid’s investment promotion agency shows that the region is focusing on promoting the real estate market through cooperation between the public and private sectors. According to the analytics platform Iberian Property Data, in 2025 the Madrid region attracted €4.8 billion in commercial real estate investment, one of the highest figures ever recorded.

The most promising segments for Madrid are currently linked to several areas:

— residential property for long-term living;
— rental properties;
— flexible living formats, including co-living;
— property in districts with strong demand from international professionals;
— projects related to urban regeneration and infrastructure development.

🏡 As a result, Madrid is strengthening its status as one of Spain’s key real estate markets for foreign buyers and investors.
