Spain's housing market faces shortage and a generational push for growth

In Córdoba, the real‑estate market is dominated by a severe lack of housing stock, with strong buyer demand outstripping the limited supply of second‑hand homes and new construction. Real‑estate firms are shifting focus from attracting buyers to securing exclusive agreements with owners to streamline sales, while rising construction costs and low profitability curb new projects, driving up prices and seller expectations.

At the national level, Árima’s corporate development director Chío Triviño outlines a generational shift in the sector, emphasizing sustainability, innovation and modern office concepts. She aims to boost the company’s turnover by 50% to exceed €40 million by 2027, reflecting the broader trend of younger professionals reshaping Spain’s real estate landscape.
