Updated: Nov 5, 2021

After COVID-19, the price of housing will fall, interest in homes and floors with terraces will increase, and young people will receive more support in mortgage loans.


The reactivation of the post-Covid-19 property sector presents a new favourable outlook for real estate investments. Confiring and teleworking have created new needs for current purchasers. Those who value aspects of housing that they previously believed to be expendable for household welfare.

Due to concerns over a new relapse, several portals have recorded a significant increase in visits to more luminous, energy-efficient housing with access to gardens or terraces. Photocase, for example, highlights an increase of 46% on rustic housing searches. When the most common was to receive this type of consultation on chalets or terraced houses near large urbs.


The growing interest in real estate investments is also reflected in consumer confidence index (CIS) data. Where it is claimed that about 9% of Spaniards want to acquire a new home after the pandemic. Above all, young people between the ages of 25 and 35, who could benefit from increased access to mortgage loans, as reported by the Economist on their portal.


They lower prices and increase property investments


Another factor that will reactivate the sector is the lowering of the square meter price in second-hand housing. The Euroval tax payer and its Institute for Immobility Analysis (INSTAI) state that the price of housing will fall from 3% to 5.5% by 2020.
