Housing prices in Spain grew by 12.1% in the second quarter, more than double the average of the European Union (4.7%), according to Eurostat. The increase triples that of the eurozone, which was 4%.
Housing prices in Spain rose by 12.1% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period the previous year, according to data published by Eurostat. This figure far exceeds the increase recorded across the European Union, which was 4.7%, and triples that of the eurozone, where the increase was 4%, as reported by larazon.es.
The rise in Spain follows the trend from the start of the year, when prices advanced by 12.8% year-on-year, compared to an average of 5.1% in the EU. In quarterly terms, between April and June, the advance was 3.4%, very similar to the 3.5% of the first quarter.
Despite this strong growth, Spain does not lead the increases in the community club. Portugal recorded the largest increase, at 16.5%, followed by Bulgaria (15.5%), Lithuania (14.3%) and Slovakia (13.6%).
On the opposite side, three countries saw prices fall: Finland (-2.7%), Luxembourg (-2.2%) and France (-0.8%). The other two major economies in the EU showed a much more moderate evolution than Spain: Germany rose by 0.6% and Italy by 4%.
The Eurostat data corresponds to the second quarter of 2026 and refers to the overall residential market, without breakdown by autonomous communities.
