Real estate transactions in the province of Cadiz totaled 1,339 new and used home sales in May, according to the latest data from the National Statistics Institute (INE). This figure is lower than May of the previous year (1,396 operations) and is the fifth lowest in the last two years, falling below the average of 1,498 operations since May 2024.
The decrease is mainly attributed to new homes, with only 363 operations recorded across the province in May. Meanwhile, resale homes remained within a mid-range with 976 transactions. These figures reflect a market moderation in Cadiz after several years of upward trends.
Regionally, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia managed 34,517 operations in May, exceeding the average of the last two years (33,106). The provinces of Malaga and Seville maintained notable real estate dynamism. Malaga recorded 7,852 transactions, very close to its average of 7,822, while Seville registered 6,619, surpassing its average of 5,778.
Nationally, registered home sales decreased by 7.3% in May compared to the same month in 2025, according to the INE.
The statistics confirm the trend indicated by real estate agencies regarding a market slowdown, with an increase in the time it takes for properties to sell. The Real Estate Barometer of the Association of Real Estate Managers of the province of Cadiz (GICA – MLS Cádiz) indicates that, although activity has been notable, prices remain under pressure, demand is high, and transactions do not always align with real purchasing power.
A key piece of data for the first half of the year in the province is the shift in the most common price range. Most operations are now concentrated between 200,000 and 300,000 euros, a significant move from the second half of 2025 when the predominant segment was 100,000 to 200,000 euros. This reflects accumulated price increases and a scarcity of affordable properties.
Furthermore, most agencies have detected moderate price increases or no increases at all, painting a picture of a tense market where demand is more selective and clearly shows limits at certain asking prices.
