Spanish property prices up 6.5% as with new builds driving growth

Spain’s property market has recorded a 6.5 per cent price rise over the past year, according to new data from the Sociedad de Tasación.

New homes are leading the trend, with prices up 7.4 per cent in the Valencian Community and 6.9 per cent in Andalucia, fuelled by strong demand and stable interest rates.

New builds lead Spain’s property surge

The Q3 2025 Appraisal Society report highlights a surge in demand for energy-efficient new homes, particularly along the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, and Mallorca.

“There’s real dynamism in the property market in Spain right now,” said Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey España. “Appetite for new homes is particularly pronounced, with strong demand for high-quality, energy-efficient properties.”

Developers are actively acquiring new land plots to meet demand, with Taylor Wimpey España among the firms expanding their portfolios.

81% of new homes in Spain target ‘A’ energy ratings

Spain’s drive for sustainability continues to accelerate. The Appraisal Society found that 81 per cent of new homes started in 2025 are on track to achieve an ‘A’ energy efficiency rating, up from 79 per cent in 2024 and 72 per cent in 2023.

New eco-friendly development in Benahavís

Among Taylor Wimpey España’s latest sustainable projects is Altura 160 in Benahavís (Malaga) — a luxury development of 60 two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses. Each home has an ‘A’ energy rating and access to communal facilities including:

Four swimming pools
Landscaped gardens and fountains
A bar, coworking area, gym, and concierge service

Set 160 metres above sea level, Altura 160 offers panoramic views across the Atalaya and El Paraíso golf courses to the bay of Marbella. Apartments are priced from €585,000 plus VAT, with completion scheduled for March 2026.

For British and European expats, Spain’s continued property growth — especially in coastal regions — reinforces the market’s appeal for both relocation and investment. Eco-certified new builds also align with rising interest in sustainable living and energy savings.
