The Streak Is Over: Home Sales and Mortgages in Spain Fall in July

The INE (National Statistics Institute) reports 61,417 property sales (-5.1%) and 43,372 mortgages (-3.5%) for July, while the Euribor has now risen for three consecutive months, reaching 3.223%.

Three weeks ago, we discussed how June had been the best month for buying a home since 2007. This week, the INE confirmed that July broke that streak on two fronts: both property sales (-5.1%) and mortgages (-3.5%) declined. The summer picture is no longer defined solely by record highs; a slowdown is also underway, affecting both sides of the transaction.

Abu Dhabi has no annual property tax, no capital gains tax on sale and no income tax on rent received. That is genuinely unusual, and it is one of the reasons the city draws buyers who might not consider a second property in London or Sydney. It can also lead people to assume that ongoing costs are close to zero, which they are not. As one of the top real estate agencies in Abu Dhabi, betterhomes sees this gap between expectation and reality regularly, so this guide sets out what you will pay at purchase and every year after.

With used-home prices rising for 70 consecutive months and nearly 46,000 mortgages signed in June, the Spanish real estate market ends the summer on a strong note.

Let's start with the figure that will hurt the most on your next bank statement: the Euribor. It has begun September at 3.029%, its highest level in three years. And it comes at the same time Spain is signing mortgages at a rate not seen since 2010.

This is no coincidence; it's a snapshot of a market that this summer has moved in two directions simultaneously: more expensive and more active. The data, with names and details, comes from the INE (National Institute of Statistics), Fotocasa, and Spainhouses.net's own records.
