Strong demand and stable interest rates underpin dynamic Spanish property market

Property prices in Spain have risen 6.5% over the past year, according to the new Q3 2025 report from the country’s Appraisal Society (Sociedad de Tasación). In many areas, the prices of newly built homes have risen even higher than the average for all properties, with increases of 6.9% recorded in Andalucia and 7.4% in the Valencian Community. Strong demand and stable interest rates are underpinning the growth, which is leading companies such as homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España to actively seek new land plots.

“There’s real dynamism in the property market in Spain right now, with the market in an active growth phase. Appetite for new homes is particularly pronounced, with strong demand in areas such as the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and Mallorca for high-quality, energy efficient properties,” said,  Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director, Taylor Wimpey España

Like many nations, Spain has seen a sustained push for energy efficiency in its new homes. In 2025, Appraisal Society figures show 81% of new homes started are on target to achieve an ‘A’ rating based on their energy emissions, up from 79% of new homes started in 2024 and 72% in 2023.

Taylor Wimpey España has long been committed to minimising its environmental impact, delivering a string of ‘A’ rated homes in recent years. The company has just been awarded certification by the Spanish Government’s Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico) for the second year running. The certification recognises Taylor Wimpey España’s commitment to reducing emissions and water consumption and managing construction waste responsibly. The firm’s longstanding environmental strategy encompasses sustainability as a core value, with a focus on resource optimisation, environmental protection, and making active efforts to address climate change.

From homebuyers, the result of this commitment is properties such as those at Altura 160 in Benahavís, where the apartments and penthouses are rated ‘A’ for their energy efficiency. The development has just launched a new show home, inviting potential buyers to see for themselves the blend of quality and sustainability on offer in this popular location.

Altura 160 is home to 60 apartments, with two- and three-bedroom layouts spread across five buildings of 12 apartments each. All of the bright and airy homes face southeast, and all have access to the outstanding facilities of the Hacienda del Señorío de Cifuentes – a private community in which they are located. Those facilities include four swimming pools, extensive gardens with pretty fountains, a bar, a coworking area, a gym and on-site security and concierge services. The privileged location sites high in the valley, some 160m above sea level (hence the name), with panoramic views to the golf courses of Atalaya and El Paraiso and the bay of Marbella. All properties are due for completion in March 2026, with prices starting from €585,000 plus VAT for apartments and from €660,000 plus VAT for penthouses.
