New figures from Idealista show second-hand property prices jumped across both Alicante province and the Region of Murcia in twenty twenty-five, with the portal warning that a shortage of homes is continuing to push values higher.

In Alicante province, prices rose by fourteen point four per cent over the year. In Alicante city, the average reached two thousand five hundred and eight euros per square metre after a ten point seven per cent annual rise. Across the wider Valencian Community, the average hit a record two thousand four hundred and eighteen euros per square metre, up seventeen point three per cent, with Valencia province leading the gains.

Some of the biggest increases in Alicante province were inland, with Rafal up seventy four point five per cent, Jacarilla up sixty point four, and Pego up forty eight point nine. But there were also pockets of decline, including Algorfa, Benejúzar and Alcalalí, showing how uneven demand remains by area.

In Murcia, used home prices rose by twenty three point six per cent year on year to one thousand seven hundred and four euros per square metre, now just four point six per cent below the region’s pre-crash record from September two thousand and six. Torre Pacheco is the most expensive market at two thousand five hundred and seventy two euros per square metre, while Pliego is the cheapest at five hundred and ninety one. Idealista says Spain is short by around seven hundred thousand homes, and that gap is making buying harder, particularly for younger and middle-income households.
