Luxury Property Market Is Thriving In Spain

Luxury Property Market is Thriving in Spain

 
Property over one million is in demand. The demand for luxury residential properties in Spain shows no signs of slowing down. They are available and at higher prices than last year.
After analysing the luxury market and the results show that there has been a marked increase in the volume of luxury property. 2.22% of second-hand properties cost 1 million euros or more, an increase of 0.3% since last year. In 2016 the percentage of homes over 1 million was 1.92%, and in 2015 it was 1.62%.

Additionally, the average price per house has also grown. The average high-end property has gone from 1,940,811 euros in 2016 to 1,972,194 euros at the end of August 2017, an increase of 1.62%. However, the average price per square metre of a luxury home in Spain stands at 4,649 euros. This represents a variation of -16.33% compared to 2016 when the figure was 5,556 euros per square metre. The current price is closer to that of 2015 when the average per square metre was 4,606 euros.

One Luxury Property = 14 Standard Properties
Currently, the price of luxury housing per square metre is a massive 3,092 euros higher than that of standard second-hand housing, which is currently 1,557 euros per square metre. Using this as a guide, a typical property of 90m² would cost 140,130 euros in Spain. This is a massive 1,832,064 euros below the average price of a luxury property. This means you could theoretically purchase 14 standard properties for the price of one luxury home.
