Notes on Spain’s housing market
Spain’s main-residence housing stock exceeded 18.7 million dwellings in 2020, with moderate growth and ownership still far outweighing rental.
Knowing the structure of the housing stock is the starting point of any real-estate decision. Here are the key figures.
How many dwellings
In 2020 Spain had 18,754,800 main-residence dwellings, 2.9% more than in 2013, while population grew 1.29% — so the stock grew faster than population.
Tenure
- 49% owned outright.
- 28% owned with an outstanding mortgage.
- 17% rented.
- 6% transferred free or at low cost.
