How many new build properties could you find in Spain?
Where are the new build properties in Spain?
The “Ministerio de Fomento”, just released the number of unsold new homes in Spain: it is 457,000 at the end of 2019 vs 460,000 end of 2018. Earlier, it was quite higher: with 477,000 new build in 2017 and 492,000 at the end of 2016.
So the number of new build properties waiting to be sold in 2019 is only slightly lower than in 2018.
In Spain, you have a total of 25 million homes in total, so this means about 1.8% of all the properties existing in Spain are unsold new build properties .
Find this statistic always updated in our “real estate Returns and Mortgages in Spain” table.
