Spain housing crisis: CIS survey shows high demand for state intervention

A recent survey by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) reveals deep public concern regarding the housing crisis in Spain. Approximately 86.9% of respondents expressed significant concern about housing access, with 41.5% stating they are personally affected by the issue.

There is strong public support for state intervention, with 76.3% of citizens believing the government should intervene in the residential market as necessary. Furthermore, 79% of respondents view housing as a constitutional right. Popularly supported measures include tax reductions for first-time homebuyers (95.4%), increased construction of public housing (91.4%), and limiting tourist apartments (80%).

However, the survey also highlights limits to this support; 54.3% of respondents reject the direct expropriation of vacant homes.

In a separate political development, Adelante Andalucía has proposed legislation to convert tourist apartments in high-pressure areas back into long-term residential rentals, aiming to return approximately 100,000 units to the local housing market.
