Foreign investment maintains its strength in the Spanish residential market

The Spanish real estate market continues to arouse the interest of international buyers. During the second half of 2024, free housing purchases made by foreigners grew by 10.3% compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching a total of 69,690 transactions, according to the latest data published by the College of Registrars.

Although the relative weight of foreign demand has moderated slightly — representing 19.5% of the total compared to 21.1% registered in 2023 — the numbers continue to reflect a very significant and stable share in the market as a whole.

Once again, British buyers lead the ranking of nationalities, accounting for 8.7% of total international transactions. It is followed by Moroccans, with 7.3%, and Germans, with 6.7%. These data show not only a continuity in historical preferences, but also a growing diversification of the buyer profile.

The attractiveness of the Spanish market for international investors lies in multiple factors: a highly valued lifestyle, a quality residential offer, legal stability and the possibility of diversifying investments in a consolidated European environment. In addition, regions such as the Valencian Community, Andalusia, Catalonia or the Balearic Islands continue to be key epicenters for foreign investment, combining equity value with high potential for revaluation.

At Sophiq Properties, we clearly see this dynamism. International demand forms an important part of our client ecosystem, especially in high-end projects located in prime areas of Madrid, where architectural design, space customization and comprehensive advice make the difference.

In addition, initiatives such as Sophia One, our exclusive club for buyers, allow these profiles to access unique opportunities in advance and have professional support from the first visit to the signing. For many of our international clients, this personalized experience is a key differential value compared to other market players.

The positive evolution of foreign sales not only reflects renewed confidence in the Spanish market, but also a commitment to lifestyles that are more sustainable, cosmopolitan and connected to architectural quality. At Sophiq, we continue to work to offer residential products that respond to these aspirations, combining vision, design and long-term value.
