THE province of Seville In 2025, it granted 13.5 building permits for 1,000 housing units across its entire residential stock. It becomes like this the one with the most floors built in the whole country, almost triple the national average. … This is how the latest report of Tinacompared to the fourth quarter of the year. This promotional drive shows that Seville not only has a strong demand for housing, but is also responding with an increasing supply. Despite everything, the the market remains very tight: sales are growing even faster than visas, which maintains upward pressure on priceespecially in the capital, 12.4% more that was a year ago. The result is a booming market, where the metropolitan area is emerging as one of the country’s major real estate hubs, driven by the availability of land and the economic dynamism of the province.
The city, and especially the metropolitan area, is building at a higher rate than the rest of the country, but its social impact is not yet felt given the prices, which are exorbitant and 400 euros above the national average. This study confirms data from the Ministry of Housing in which the capital Seville is in the lead, just behind Madrid, in the rate of construction of protected housing, with a plan for 4,600 VPOs until 2027, of which 1,377 are already in progress or allocated.
The Tinsa report, however, does not distinguish between free and protected, nor between the municipality and the rest of the province in terms of development activity and sales made during the year 2025. It measures the volume of work started throughout the province.
Seville, 13.5
The national average is 4.9 new building permits per thousand housing units in the provincial park.
And it is here, in the visas approved last year, that Seville is well above the rest of the provinces in terms of ratio, almost four points above the next one, which is Guadalajara (9.8). 13.5 new building permits were granted for every thousand existing homes, an intensity which double that of Madrid (7.8) and multiplies by more than three that of Barcelona and Valencia (4.3). Only certain markets with high tourist demand, such as Malaga (9.1), come close to the pulse of Seville, even if they are almost 50% lower. This pace places it in the most dynamic group in Spain, well above the national average, which remains at 4.9 visas per thousand households of the residential park. If we compare it with Zaragoza (3.9)which is the province whose capital rivals that of Seville in terms of number of inhabitants – Argonesia now surpasses it, overtaking it as the fourth largest city in Spain – construction in Seville is more than three times higher.
Buying and selling, on the rise
Another piece of information that confirms the movement of the real estate market in the province of Seville is that of sales. In the report of transmissions over the last year per thousand dwellings in the residential stock, it is confirmed that The turnover is higher than the national average. It is also, with a ratio of 27.7, above Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia and the rest of the large urban markets in the interior of Spain. Only Malaga surpasses it due to its strength in the tourism and second home market.
What does this mean? That Seville is a market where a greater volume of housing is bought and sold, which is neither stagnant nor “slow”. Which positions itself as a leader among large urban centers, making it possible to combine the demographic growth and economic power of its metropolitan region. This poses a problem for the buyer: it is a tight market, because what comes out is absorbedwith a dynamism that even exceeds that of Madrid and Barcelona.
46% of salary
Sevillians pay on average 135,613 euros of real estate loan. This is almost 30,000 euros less than the national average. Above all, this financial indicator taken with the data related to loans signed during the last quarter of 2025, what it indicates is that apartments in the province are not as expensive as in other places in Spain, where Madrid (247,985 euros) or Malaga (215,340) stand out. THE average payments mortgage payments in Seville are about half those of these two provinces and are 651 eurosthe national average being 795 and the Andalusian average being 725.
However, if you look at the economic effort What this means for households, the percentage occupied by the mortgage according to income is a 46.1%fifteen points above the national average and seven above the Andalusian average. This means that Sevillians pay less for a mortgage than in other parts of Spain, but their salaries are also lower, almost forcing them to invest half of their salary in housing. The percentage considered “reasonable” by analysts is a third of the family salary, so in the case of Seville it is much higher because it is one of the provinces with lowest per capita income in the country.
These data are even worse in Cadizwhere 57.8% is invested. In the case of Málaga or Madridwith even higher percentages (54.7% and 56.1%), the reading to be done is different. In the case of Malaga, the market is in a bubble due to the pressure of second homes from foreigners, mainly. And, in Madrid or Barcelonathe price is skyrocketing because these are the two great economic engines of Spain, they attract employment and population, both national and foreign, and the growth of new housing has not been enough to absorb demand.
