TL;DR: Home prices in Almería rose sharply in 2025, rental demand is at record highs, and international buyers now account for 20% of all transactions in the province.
Almería property market continues to heat up in 2025
Property prices on the rise
The Almería property market has seen significant growth throughout 2025. Average home prices now range between €1,307 and €1,554 per square metre, depending on location and property type. The latest figures show that Almería province continues to outperform many other areas of Andalusia, largely due to its coastal appeal, lower density, and ongoing interest from international buyers.
There are major differences within the province. While some inland villages still offer affordable homes, prices in sought-after coastal towns have surged dramatically over the past year.
- Lowest prices: Vélez Blanco – €495/m², even after a +24.8% year-on-year increase.
- Highest prices: San Juan de los Terreros (Pulpí) – €2,554/m², up almost 30% compared to 2024.
- Almería city: The capital averages €1,571/m², with steady growth driven by limited supply.
- Popular coastal towns: Carboneras and Roquetas de Mar are both averaging around €1,450/m².
Rental market under strong pressure
Rental prices in Almería have also climbed to historic levels. In April 2025, the provincial average reached €8.30 to €8.80 per m², with coastal areas often exceeding €9.50 per m². This makes Almería one of the fastest-rising rental markets in Andalusia. Demand remains high, with each available property attracting an average of 23 to 28 potential tenants. For young renters and local families, this creates intense competition and affordability challenges.
Despite a 16% increase in the number of rental properties available in the past year, the supply is still insufficient to meet the growing demand. This imbalance is particularly visible in Almería city, Vera, and Mojácar, where rental demand from seasonal workers, students, and expats is highest.
International buyers drive growth
A key factor behind the market’s expansion is the steady flow of international investment. In 2025, 20% of all property transactions in the province involved foreign buyers – significantly above the Spanish national average of 15%. British, German, and Dutch buyers remain the largest groups, while interest from Poland and other Eastern European countries is also increasing.
Coastal hotspots such as Vera, Roquetas de Mar, and Mojácar are especially popular. These areas combine relatively affordable housing with strong rental potential, making them attractive for both lifestyle purchases and long-term investments.
Investment opportunities
For investors, Almería continues to deliver attractive yields compared to other Spanish provinces. In fact, Adra has been identified as the municipality with the highest rental yield in Spain at 13.7%. Such returns are drawing attention from professional investors as well as individual buyers seeking income-generating holiday homes.
At the same time, ongoing infrastructure improvements, including road links and airport connectivity, are expected to further boost Almería’s position as a rising property market within Andalusia.
Market outlook
Analysts note signs of “overheating” in the Spanish housing market but stop short of predicting a bubble. According to El País, the nationwide increase in housing prices has offset both lower mortgage costs and rising household incomes. In Almería, the shortage of available homes – with stock down by 22% in 2025 – suggests that competition will only intensify further.
Another study by Oxford Economics highlights that Spanish property prices have risen by 77% since 2014. While growth of 11% is expected in 2025, the report rules out a speculative bubble thanks to healthier household finances and stricter lending standards. This perspective offers reassurance to both domestic and foreign buyers in Almería.
Rising prices, tight rental supply, & robust international demand
The Almería property market in 2025 is characterized by rising prices, tight rental supply, and robust international demand. For buyers, the province still offers better value than Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca, but affordability is declining rapidly in premium coastal towns. For investors, the potential remains strong, especially in high-yield areas like Adra, Vera, and Mojácar.
