🏡 In March 2026, Spanish property registers recorded 219,493 real estate entries. This is 2.7% more than in the same month last year. Data from Spain’s National Statistics Institute show that the market continues to maintain a high level of activity, even as the residential segment becomes more moderate.

📊 The number of registered home sales in March reached 61,295. This is 2.2% lower than a year earlier. However, this decline looks more like a shift toward a more balanced market after a period of rapid growth, rather than a sharp cooling. At the same time, the total number of property sales across all categories increased by 1.5% year-on-year, reaching 122,896 transactions.

The main March figures are as follows:

— 219,493 real estate entries were registered in total;
— the overall annual growth in registrations reached 2.7%;
— 122,896 property sales were registered;
— the total number of property sales increased by 1.5%;
— home sales reached 61,295 transactions;
— the residential segment declined by 2.2% year-on-year.

💡 The structure of residential transactions is especially important. Free-market housing accounted for 93.8% of homes sold, while protected housing represented 6.2%. Resale properties made up 78.7% of all residential transactions, while new-build homes accounted for 21.3%.

This confirms that the resale segment remains the core of Spain’s housing market. For buyers, this segment is often more predictable: the property is already completed, the neighbourhood is established, infrastructure is in place and the move-in timeline does not depend on construction.

At the same time, the dynamics of new-build and resale properties differ noticeably. Sales of new homes fell by 10.2% year-on-year, while resale transactions increased by 0.2%. Against the backdrop of high construction costs and limited supply, completed properties are becoming an especially important part of the market.

📍 Regional dynamics also varied. The strongest growth in home sales was recorded in Castile-La Mancha, where the number of transactions increased by 11.5% year-on-year. Navarre followed with an 8.2% increase, while La Rioja recorded growth of 5.2%. Castile and León and the Valencian Community also posted positive results, with sales rising by 3.4%.

The regions with the strongest growth in home sales were:

— Castile-La Mancha: +11.5%;
— Navarre: +8.2%;
— La Rioja: +5.2%;
— Castile and León: +3.4%;
— Valencian Community: +3.4%.

🏘 This geography shows that demand is gradually spreading more widely. Buyers are looking not only at the most expensive markets, but also at regions with a more accessible entry budget, good transport links and growth potential.

📌For foreign buyers, Spain remains one of the most attractive property markets in Europe. Even with a slight decline in the number of home sales, overall registration activity remains high, while the resale market continues to offer strong liquidity. This is especially important for those considering property for living, seasonal use, long-term rental income or capital preservation.
