Cup Half-Full or Half-Empty? Spain’s Agents Say Full

It’s the kind of glass-half-full story that agents love to tell at the office, even if the coffee is lukewarm. 53% of Spanish real estate agencies are feeling optimistic, or maybe just hopeful, about home sales rising in the final quarter of 2025, according to Idealista, The portals’ sentiment survey Encuesta de Sensibilidad Inmobiliaria  survey paints a picture of cautious optimism, a stable market, steady demand, moderate growth in transactions, and prices that are likely to hold or rise a bit.

Almost half (49%) of agents in Spain expect to list more homes for sale, 29% think things will stay the same, and 16% are bracing for a slower pace.

Idealista hasn’t said exactly how many agencies participated, but since it’s Spain’s largest property portal, we can assume this optimism isn’t coming from a tiny focus group in someone’s living room.

When it comes to prices, 51% of real estate agencies in Spain expect them to keep climbing over the next three months, slightly fewer than last quarter.

Only around 5% are expecting price drops or admitting uncertainty.

Key Stats:

• 53% of agencies expect to sell more homes than in previous quarters.
