Regional Context – Andalusian Price Growth Q2 2025
Andalusia saw a year-on-year growth of approximately 9.5% in Q2 2025 for second-hand homes. Among the provinces, Málaga led with a 15% increase, followed by Cádiz (+12.3%), Granada (+10.3%), and Almería with +9.8%. Despite being more affordable, Almería is quickly catching up.
Foreign Buyers Fuel the Momentum
Foreign nationals account for roughly 20.9% of all property purchases in Almería, in line with the national average. Buyers from the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium are especially active in Vera Playa, Mojácar, Albox, and Arboleas — attracted by lifestyle, affordability, and growing investment appeal.
AVE Rail: Infrastructure Driving Value
The Murcia–Almería AVE high-speed rail line, once expected to open in 2026, now has a more realistic timeline of 2028. Construction remains on track: over 85% of the railway platform in Almería province is complete, including the Viator tunnel and major viaducts near Vera, according to Cadena SER.
Electrification is already underway on the Murcia–Lorca stretch, with €48 million invested in catenary systems and infrastructure. Though trains won’t run until 2028, property values are already reflecting the expected connectivity boost.
What This Means for Buyers & Investors
- Strong price growth is translating to increased urgency on listings.
- Rental yields are rising, especially in coastal and tourist-friendly zones.
- Infrastructure development — particularly the AVE — is already influencing market values.
The Almería property boom isn’t speculative. It’s supported by data: rising prices, steady foreign interest, and imminent transport upgrades. Now may be the perfect moment to act.
Almería is no longer a secret. It’s a market in motion — and 2025 may be the ideal time to take part in its growth cycle.
