Doce años de subidas ininterrumpidas han llevado al mercado inmobiliario español a un punto de inflexión: en el primer trimestre de 2026, los precios de la vivienda crecieron al ritmo más alto desde los meses previos al estallido de la burbuja de 2007. Lo que distingue este momento no es solo la velocidad, sino la unanimidad —ninguna región del país ha quedado al margen— lo que apunta a una escasez estructural de oferta frente a una demanda que no cede. Para quienes aspiran a comprar su primera vivienda, cada trimestre que pasa estrecha un poco más el margen de lo posible.

Severe affordability crisis deepening. First-time homebuyers increasingly priced out; renters face pressure as landlords capitalize on appreciation. Household purchasing power diverted to housing, reducing discretionary spending. Regional disparities widen (Aragón/Murcia +15.6% vs País Vasco +10.2%), creating migration pressures.
Government likely to face pressure for: (1) increased housing supply interventions; (2) stricter mortgage lending regulations to prevent bubble; (3) wealth/property taxes; (4) rent controls or tenant protections; (5) foreign buyer restrictions in high-demand areas like Balearics; (6) central bank consideration of tighter monetary policy if inflation concerns emerge.
