Thinking about buying a home in Valencia?

2025 is the year to act—but only if you’re ready. The Valencia property market is hotter than ever, with fewer homes available, soaring demand, and buyers often missing out because they weren’t prepared.

At Homely, we’ve helped dozens of international clients secure their dream homes in Valencia—even while they were abroad—by ensuring every step of the process is hassle-free. This guide explains exactly what’s happening in the market, why it’s essential to move quickly, and how Homely’s expertise and trusted agent network make the process smooth and stress-free.

The Latest Valencia Property Market Data (2025)

Valencia’s real estate market in 2025 offers a compelling opportunity for investors and lifestyle buyers alike. As Spain’s third-largest city, Valencia attracts a growing mix of locals, international buyers, and remote workers—drawn by its affordability, lifestyle appeal, and long-term investment potential.

Here’s the key data:

  • Average property prices: €2,400–€2,600 per square metre citywide, higher in central and coastal districts.

  • Premium areas: El Pla del Remei, Ciutat Vella, and Russafa command €3,200–€3,800/sqm.

  • Affordable areas: Benicalap, Patraix, and Campanar offer entry points at €1,800–€2,200/sqm.

  • Year-on-year growth: Average prices rose 6.4% in the past year.

  • Sales trends: In 2024, over 104,700 properties were sold in the Valencian Community—a 9% increase.

  • January 2025 sales rose another 11%, following a record December 2024.

  • Valencia leads Spain in property sales per capita—but supply is shrinking fast.

The result? Fierce competition and fewer homes available. Even local agents admit they’re running out of properties to sell.

Valencia’s shrinking property supply: Why homes are so hard to find

In the last six years, Valencia’s property supply has dropped by over 75%—from more than 13,600 listings in 2019 to just 3,384 in March 2025.

New development is limited, especially in central and heritage-protected areas. Most new homes are being built in outer districts or suburbs, while second-hand properties in prime locations are increasingly scarce.

This supply squeeze—combined with growing demand from local and international buyers—means properties often sell before they even hit the market.

Neighborhood Analysis: Where to Buy in Valencia

Valencia’s property market offers diverse options, from historic city-centre gems to high-yield suburban areas:

El Pla del Remei

Valencia’s most prestigious district, known for its Modernist architecture and luxury lifestyle.

  • Prices: ~€3,800/sqm

  • Ideal for: Wealth preservation, second homes

  • Market: High demand, low vacancy

Ciutat Vella

The historic heart of the city, offering character properties and strong lifestyle appeal.

  • Prices: ~€3,500/sqm

Budget Considerations: Navigating a Competitive Market

In Valencia's dynamic property market, homes priced between €150,000 and €250,000 are in exceptionally high demand. This price bracket attracts a significant portion of both national and international buyers, leading to intense competition for available properties. As a result, listings in this range often receive multiple offers shortly after hitting the market, leaving little room for negotiation or extended decision-making.

For buyers aiming to increase their purchasing power, exploring mortgage options or augmenting savings can be advantageous. By elevating your budget above €250,000, you position yourself in a less crowded segment of the market, where properties may remain available longer, and sellers might be more open to negotiations. This flexibility can provide you with more time to make informed decisions and potentially secure better value.

Why many buyers miss out: the importance of being ready

In Valencia’s fast-paced market, timing is everything. Many buyers lose out because they’re not prepared—they don’t have their paperwork ready, or they aren’t connected to the right agents who can show them properties before they go public.

You need to make sure to be ready to snatch your dream property before others do:

  • Get your paperwork in order—from NIE applications to opening a Spanish bank account

  • Connect with trusted local agents—so you’re the first to hear about off-market opportunities

  • Secure properties remotely—it is no longer uncommon for clients to buy from their sofa in London or kitchen in Stockholm

  • Act fast when the right property appears—with a streamlined process that saves time and reduces stress
