🇪🇸🏆 SPAIN IS RECOGNIZED FOR THE FIRST TIME AS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE COUNTRY FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
According to a study by the consulting company CBRE, Spain has ranked first for the first time among the most attractive countries in Europe for real estate investment. In 2025, the total volume of these investments exceeded €18.4 billion, with growth above the European average (+31% year-on-year, the highest level since 2018). In 2026, CBRE forecasts further growth of 5–10%, reaching €19–21 billion amid monetary stability and improved financing conditions.
The report “European Investor Intentions Survey 2026” reflects the outlook of nearly 700 Europe-based investors and confirms a “growing preference” for Southern Europe. Spain is followed in the ranking by the United Kingdom, Poland, and Italy, while Portugal ranks sixth.
The study also shows that nearly half of international investors chose Spain as their primary investment destination due to its strong return potential, driven by a solid economy, high housing demand, and supply shortages in certain segments.
Sector preferences are as follows:
🔸 34% chose residential real estate;
🔸 25% logistics assets;
🔸 13% office properties;
🔸 12% retail spaces.
Finally, the report indicates that around 9 out of 10 investors (89%) expect their purchasing activity to increase or remain stable in 2026, while 83% believe that selling activity will grow or stay at current levels.
