The last housing boom walks to the rhythm of the bubble: 1,754 houses sold every day

There are no real estate bubble although the purchase figures are already approximating at the levels of that time and 2024 ended with the second largest number of operations from the crack of 2008. Every day they were sold in Spain, on average, 1,754 homes up to a total of 641,919 throughout the year.

The day -to -day activity is incessant. In Andalusia where more operations were closed in 2024, 344 houses per day were sold; in Madrid211; in Cataluña272 and in the Valencian Community286, according to the data of the National Institute of Statistics (INE) published yesterday. The fervor to buy is of such magnitude that the real estate agencies increasingly advertise the homes and resort more to their databases and the waiting lists to place the product. The stock available in the market does not stop diminishing and, given the shortage of opportunities, the potential buyers have begun to make upward offers and even overcome themselves to get them.

Only in 2022 were sold more than in 2024, 650,265 in total, and it would be necessary to go back to 2007 to find a higher figure because that year 775,300 transactions were closed. It was the culmination of the bubble that ended up exploding.

Now the market is immersed in a new boom. The new fever of brick He has left behind an almost historical exercise with data such as mortgages, which ended the year with the second highest figure from the outbreak of the crisis 17 years ago, and it is precisely that data that largely explains the madness to buy home. The descent of types, the relaxation of the Euribor and the strength of the labor market have promoted a demand that remained reservoir waiting for better market conditions. To this are added the high rents prices, which cause many people to consider more assumed to pay a mortgage share than a lease income.

In relative values, the sale of homes rose in 2024 in all communities, except in the Balearic Islands, where it fell 3.8%. The greatest increases were recorded Galicia (+22.3%), La Rioja (+20%) and Castilla-La Mancha (+19.4%), while the most moderate advances were recorded in the Canary Islands (+4,8 %), Andalusia (+6.8%) and Catalonia (+8.4%).

“The situation provides a 2025 record that, added to the shortage of supply, will continue to promote prices upwards by making access to housing owned to young people and families with less resources,” he explains Ferran Font Director of Studies of Flaos.com.

In the new residential panorama, the prominence that the new work is acquiring is striking. In the face of 6.9% that rose second -hand sale, newly built homes registered an interannual increase of 23.4%, to 135,052 operations, the largest figure since 2013. “It is a very significant volume compared to the percentage shown in recent years. However, we can find a serious price increase problem, if the demand continues so latent, “he warns María Matos spokesman for the Fotocasa Real Estate Portal. “The difficulties of the promoters to find soil and finance it, in addition to the increase in the cost of materials or excessive bureaucracy, it has caused the slowdown of some promotions leaving very scarce productive levels to be able to absorb the demand for purchase so solvent,” he adds .

Projects such as the one presented yesterday Avalmadrid and BBVA are aimed at relieving that tension. Both parties signed an agreement yesterday to guarantee the purchase of finalist land for the construction of public protection housing in the Community of Madrid and thus facilitate access to housing. BBVA is the first financial entity to adhere to this project that aims to boost protected housing for sale in the region. Autonomous
