Average price per m² in Andalucia is 1,642€
In October, the price of second-hand housing in Spain increased by 0.8% when compared to the previous year, and fell by 1.7% when compared to September. This puts the average price of second-hand housing at 1,859 euros p/m².
This marks the eleventh monthly fall. The most recent positive monthly variation was seen in November 2019.
“The price of second-hand housing continues to experience slight year-on-year declines, which we already started to see last December. These price drops were already a natural trend that was expected for 2020 and it is still too early to see if the crisis caused by the coronavirus is causing prices to continue to decline. At the moment, it seems that owners are not lowering prices yet, but it is possible that in the coming months we will see somewhat larger falls,” explains Anaïs López, Communication Director at fotocasa.
