Why Murcia's property market is booming and what it means for buyers and sellers
Several Murcia hotspots remain in high demand as Simply Spanish Homes helps clients make smart property moves
If you're thinking about buying or selling property in the
Region of Murcia, now might be the perfect time to make your move. The local housing market is showing strong signs of growth this summer, with new figures painting a positive picture for both buyers and investors.
Sales data also shows that the market is really heating up. In May alone, 2,422 properties changed hands across the Region, a 57% jump in activity compared to the same month last year, outpacing the national average.

That figure includes 533 new builds and 1,889 resales, a clear sign that buyers are still drawn to Murcia's more affordable property prices and sunny lifestyle.
And speaking of prices, they're going up too. Average home values rose by more than 13% year on year, with resale prices climbing by nearly 14%. Even new builds saw increases of around 11%.
In April, the average price per square metre reached €1,776, but that’s still far more affordable than many of Murcia’s coastal neighbours.
For investors, the rental side of the market looks just as promising. In
Murcia city, rental demand is being driven by students, professionals and an emerging tech scene, pushing gross rental yields up to 6.5%.
In coastal areas like
San Pedro del Pinatar, it gets even better with returns reaching as high as 10% thanks to booming tourism and a tight rental supply.

According to the experts at Simply Spanish Homes, Murcia’s overall economy is forecast to grow by 2.9% this year, supported by strong tourism, growing public sector jobs and solid foreign investment.
Regional tourism in particular is skyrocketing. July saw an 80% occupancy rate and August is expected to hit 90%, driven by more than €5 million in regional aid to support hotels and rural getaways. With tourism up by 33% since the pandemic, this kind of growth feeds directly into the real estate market, especially along the coast.
Whether you're buying a permanent home, an investment property or just looking for a holiday base, the message is clear. Murcia is on the up and early movers are likely to benefit the most. But making the right property decision in Spain still depends on one thing - having the right team on your side.
