The Andalusian rental and real estate market continues to face intensifying pressure, marked by rising costs and rapid transaction speeds. In Cádiz, housing prices have reached record highs. As of August 2026, the average price per square meter in the capital reached 3,366 euros, a 10.6% increase from the previous year. Over a two-year period ending in July 2026, prices in the city rose from 2,838 euros to 3,310 euros per square meter, representing a 16.6% increase. While Cádiz’s annual growth rate of 8.1% is slower than the Spanish national average of 13.1%, its absolute prices remain higher than both the provincial and national averages. Within the province, El Puerto de Santa María and Puerto Real have experienced higher annual growth rates of approximately 18%. Rapid turnover remains a persistent regional trend. In the second quarter of 2026, the phenomenon of ‘express rentals’—properties leased in under 24 hours—remained significant. Cádiz continues to lead the region at 19%, followed by Huelva (18%), Jaela (16%), and Córdoba (13%). In Sevilla, 13% of homes were rented in less than a day, a figure slightly below the Spanish national average of 17%. These rapid transactions are frequently driven by high demand for affordable housing. Previously, extreme tension was noted in coastal towns like Tarifa, where residents dedicated 68% of disposable income to housing. To mitigate scarcity, private developers have been exploring models for dedicated long-term rental housing and property renovations. By September 2026, broader trends in Spain indicate a growing affordability crisis. In Almería, average mortgage amounts have risen to approximately 118,000 euros. Market analysts have warned of a potential housing crisis by 2027, driven by high inflation and low supply.
