General situation real estate market Spain in 2026 Q3
The Spanish housing market continued to perform strongly in the third quarter of 2026. House prices rose by 14.7% year-on-year and by 2.8% compared with the previous quarter. Adjusted for inflation, the annual increase still stands at 10.2%. Although growth is levelling off slightly, there is no sign of falling house prices.
In the first half of 2026, the number of property transactions fell slightly, but according to Tinsa, demand remains historically high. At the same time, the supply of properties is not keeping pace, particularly in popular cities and coastal areas. This remains a key factor behind rising prices.
For buyers, this means that the market is growing at a slightly slower pace than earlier this year, but based on the current figures, it does not seem likely that there will be a widespread fall in prices. Particularly in popular regions such as Valencia, thorough preparation remains essential.

Property prices Valencia vs other regions in Spain
The Valencian Community remains one of Spain’s most striking property markets. In Q3, prices here rose by 21.9% year-on-year and by 5.6% in just one quarter. No other autonomous community recorded a stronger annual increase.
The average property value in the Valencian Community now stands at €1,898 per m². This is still considerably lower than, for example, in the Balearic Islands (€3,885 per m²), Madrid (€3,693 per m²) and Catalonia (€2,614 per m²).
Within the Valencian Community, the province of Valencia stands out even more. Prices here rose by 23.8% compared with a year ago and by 6.1% compared with the previous quarter. This makes Valencia one of the three fastest-growing provinces in the whole of Spain.
Growth remains strong in the city of Valencia too. The average property value now stands at €2,849 per m², following a rise of 14.2% over the past year and 2.7% in the last quarter.
A comparison with other major Spanish cities clearly illustrates where Valencia currently stands:
- Madrid: €4,765 per m², +12.9%
- Barcelona: €4,616 per m², +10.8%
- Málaga: €3,003 per m², +13.8%
- Valencia: €2,849 per m², +14.2%
Of these four cities, Valencia therefore shows the strongest annual price rise, whilst the price level remains considerably below that of Madrid and Barcelona. Málaga is now also more expensive than Valencia.
This makes Valencia an attractive prospect for buyers who are looking not only at current price levels, but also at the long-term growth potential of their investment.

House prices in Valencia city by neighbourhood and district
If you look at the average house price in Valencia, you’re only seeing part of the picture. There are significant differences between neighbourhoods and districts.
In the third quarter, annual price rises by district ranged from 2.6% to as much as 23.0%. Poblados del Sur, Patraix and Eixample stand out in particular: in these districts, prices are more than 20% higher than a year ago.
The differences in price levels are also considerable. The most expensive districts in Valencia are currently:
- Eixample: €4,007 per m²
- Ciutat Vella: €3,562 per m²
- El Pla del Real: €3,465 per m²
This marks the first time in this analysis that Eixample has surpassed the €4,000 per m² threshold. This is well above the average of €2,849 per m² for Valencia as a whole. At the other end of the market, we find, amongst others, Poblados del Oeste, with an average of €1,924 per m², and Poblados del Norte, at €1,978 per m². The difference between the cheapest and most expensive parts of the city now stands at more than €2,000 per square metre. This clearly illustrates how much of an impact location has on the final purchase price.
It is also striking that 18 of the 19 districts are now, in nominal terms, above their previous price record set around the property peak of 2007. However, when inflation is taken into account, the picture changes significantly: only Eixample is above the old record in real terms.
It is important to note that these are averages. In practice, prices vary widely. High-quality, move-in-ready properties in good locations often command significantly higher prices per square metre, whilst older properties or those in need of renovation tend to bring the average down. This difference is clearly evident, for example, in popular parts of Eixample, Ciutat Vella and El Pla del Real, where a well-renovated property in a sought-after location can command a price significantly above the district average.
Property Price Growth in Valencia: Five-Year CAGR
As well as looking at trends over a single quarter or year, it is interesting to consider the longer term. To do this, Tinsa uses the CAGR, or the compound annual growth rate over the past five years.
For Spain as a whole, this growth currently stands at 8.4% per year. Both the province of Valencia and Valencia city are among the areas where average annual property price growth over the past five years has exceeded 10%. This does not mean that property prices have risen by exactly the same percentage in each individual year. The CAGR allows for a comparison between different years by calculating the average annual growth rate that has led to the current property value.
Various towns around Valencia are also showing strong long-term growth. Gandía, Sagunto and Torrent are among the municipalities surveyed where the average annual price increase over the past five years has exceeded 10%. This is of interest to buyers looking beyond Valencia city itself. The property market in the region is not only growing strongly in the city centre and the well-known neighbourhoods, but also in various towns further afield.
For anyone buying a property to live in themselves or to stay in regularly, the location naturally remains, first and foremost, a personal choice. At the same time, these figures show that property in Valencia has also performed strongly in recent years in terms of value appreciation.
Conclusion real estate market Valencia 2026 Q3
In the third quarter of 2026, Valencia remains one of Spain’s most notable property markets.
With year-on-year growth of +21.9%, the Valencian Community tops the list of all autonomous regions. The province of Valencia, with growth of 23.8%, ranks among Spain’s three fastest-growing provinces, whilst the city of Valencia also continues to grow strongly, with an increase of +14.2%. At the same time, Valencia remains attractive in terms of price levels compared to Spain’s largest cities. With an average of €2,849 per m², the city is still well below Madrid (€4,765) and Barcelona (€4,616), whilst prices in Valencia have actually risen more sharply over the past year.
Within Valencia itself, the differences are becoming increasingly pronounced. Eixample now exceeds €4,000 per m², whilst in other parts of the city average price levels can still be found below €2,000 per m². Outside the city too, places such as Gandía, Sagunto and Torrent have shown strong growth over several years. The figures therefore show above all that there is no single Valencian housing market. Neighbourhood, property type, state of repair and exact location all have a significant influence on both the purchase price and the value appreciation of a property.
For those who have been considering buying a home in Valencia for some time, the current figures give little reason to believe that good-quality properties in popular locations will become cheaper anytime soon. Supply remains limited, and attractive, move-in-ready properties in particular can disappear from the market quickly. So make sure you have a clear budget, that any financing is feasible or already arranged, and that your requirements are clear before you start viewing properties. That way, you’ll be ready to buy when the right property comes along.
