A real estate market at historic highs.
In recent years, Málaga has established itself as one of Spain's most attractive cities. Its climate, quality of life, and international presence have attracted thousands of new residents and investors, but this popularity has driven housing prices to unprecedented levels.
According to the main real estate portals, the average rent in Málaga city is now around €16.50/m² , which means that an 80 m² apartment easily exceeds €1,300 per month. Regarding sales, the average price reaches €3,549/m² , with year-over-year increases of more than 15%.
This increase has placed Málaga on the map of the most expensive cities in Spain to live in, on par with capitals such as Madrid, Barcelona, and San Sebastián.
Consequences of a stressed market.
The rising cost of housing has a number of effects on the daily lives of Malaga residents:
- Difficulty becoming independent: young people and couples must postpone access to their first home.
- Families looking for space: price forces them to move to smaller apartments than desired.
- Incomplete moves: Many people can't settle into their new home right away and have to live with boxes and piles of furniture.
- Students and professionals on the move: Market pressure in September and October makes finding temporary accommodation even more difficult.
The combination of high demand, limited supply, and rising prices creates a scenario where having enough space at home is, in many cases, a luxury.
The reduction of residential supply.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that a large proportion of housing in Málaga is designated for tourist rentals , which reduces the availability of apartments for permanent residents. Although holiday demand moderates after the summer, the housing stock on the traditional market remains insufficient.
This has led to an increase in shared apartments, exorbitantly priced rooms, and increasingly smaller homes with very high rents.
Insufficient space: an everyday reality.
When access to adequate housing becomes difficult, many families, students, and professionals must resign themselves to living in small spaces. The result is a cluttered home: hallways converted into makeshift storage rooms, rooms filled with boxes, and a lack of everyday comfort.
This problem intensifies in the fall months, coinciding with moves, renovations, or temporary stays that require immediate solutions.
