Autumn in Malaga: record housing sales and a boom in storage units

Autumn in Malaga: record housing prices and a boom in storage unit rentals

A real estate market at record highs.

In recent years, Málaga has established itself as one of Spain's most attractive cities. Its climate, quality of life, and international profile have drawn thousands of new residents and investors, but this popularity has driven housing prices to unprecedented levels.

Según los principales portales inmobiliarios, el alquiler medio en Málaga capital ronda ya los 16,5 €/m², lo que significa que un piso de 80 m² supera con facilidad los 1.300 € al mes. En cuanto a la compraventa, el precio medio alcanza los 3.549 €/m², con subidas interanuales superiores al 15 %.

This increase has placed Malaga on the map of the most expensive cities in Spain to live in, on par with capitals such as Madrid, Barcelona or San Sebastian.

Consequences of a strained market.

The rising cost of housing has multiple effects on the daily lives of Malaga residents:

  • Dificultad para independizarse: jóvenes y parejas deben posponer el acceso a su primera vivienda.
  • Familias en busca de espacio: el precio obliga a mudarse a pisos más pequeños de lo deseado.
  • Incomplete moves: many people cannot settle into their new home immediately and must live with boxes and stacked furniture.
  • Estudiantes y profesionales desplazados: la presión del mercado en septiembre y octubre hace que encontrar un alojamiento temporal sea aún más complicado.

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 in residential supply.

Parte del problema radica en que una gran proporción de viviendas en Málaga está destinada al alquiler turístico, lo que reduce la disponibilidad de pisos para residentes permanentes. A pesar de que la demanda vacacional se modera tras el verano, el stock de viviendas en el mercado tradicional sigue siendo insuficiente.

This has led to an increase in shared flats, rooms at exorbitant prices, and increasingly smaller homes with very high rents.

Insufficient space: an everyday reality.

When access to suitable housing becomes difficult, many families, students, and professionals must resign themselves to living in cramped spaces. The result is an overcrowded home: hallways turned into makeshift storage rooms, bedrooms filled with boxes, and a lack of comfort in daily life.

This problem intensifies in the autumn months, coinciding with moves, renovations or temporary stays that require immediate solutions.

Storage room rental in Malaga: the alternative to lack of space.

En este contexto, el alquiler de trasteros en Málaga se ha convertido en una solución práctica y asequible. En Taistore, con ubicación estratégica en Puerto de la Torre, ofrecemos espacios adaptados a las necesidades de cada cliente.

  • Storing furniture and belongings during a move.
  • Storing belongings of students who share a flat.
