If you’re watching Spain’s real estate market, especially in the Valencian Community, you’re witnessing history: the region just marked its sharpest year-on-year rise in second-hand home prices in over two decades. According to the latest Fotocasa Real Estate Index data, prices for resale homes in the Valencian Community jumped a remarkable 23.1% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
Let’s explore what’s driving these price surges, how the region compares across Spain, and what buyers and investors should know going forward.
Home Prices in the Valencian Community: 2025 in Focus
- Quarterly growth: 3.4%
- Year-on-year growth: 23.1%
- Average price: €2,479 per square metre
This third-quarter boom is part of a broader trend, as all of Spain’s autonomous communities saw price rises—many, like the Valencian Community, exceeding 10%. Nationally, average real estate prices are still 6.4% below their 2007 peaks, but in many busy urban areas, new records are being set.
How Does the Valencian Community Stack Up?
Compared to the rest of Spain, the Valencian Community is seeing one of the strongest price booms, but is still more affordable than hotspots like the Balearic Islands (€5,048/m²) or Madrid (€4,973/m²). Here’s how the Valencian Community fits into the national ranking:
- Balearic Islands: €5,048/m²
- Madrid: €4,973/m²
- Basque Country: €3,567/m²
- Canary Islands: €3,184/m²
- Catalonia: €3,115/m²
- Andalusia: €2,671/m²
- Valencian Community: €2,479/m²
Other regions, such as Castilla-La Mancha (€1,277/m²) and Extremadura (€1,272/m²), remain the most affordable.

In all three provinces of the Valencian Community, prices are up both quarterly and annually:
- Castellón: +5.7% (quarterly), average €1,690/m²

What’s Driving the Hot Market?
Several factors are fueling this growth:
- Increased demand for Mediterranean coastal homes, both from domestic buyers and international investors/second-home seekers.
- Limited supply, especially in sought-after areas near the coast and urban centers.
- Ongoing economic optimism and foreign investment post-pandemic.
What Does This Mean for Homebuyers & Investors?
The extraordinary price rises in the Valencian Community signal both opportunity and challenge. If you’re a homeowner or investor, the market is showing robust capital appreciation. If you’re a buyer, especially a first-timer, rising prices mean acting fast to secure value, or looking at less-saturated municipalities for more affordable options.
Spain’s real estate market is booming, and nowhere is this more apparent than the Valencian Community, where second-hand home prices saw a record 23% annual jump in Q3 2025. With even more dynamic increases in select towns, and average prices now at €2,479/m², it’s a pivotal moment for buyers and investors alike.
