Spain’s house price bubble burst a long time ago. The Bank of Spain’s figures say the peak was in early 2008 (based on official valuations). Realtors say the peak was in mid-2007 (based on offers-for-sale). Whichever is true, two years later, in Q3 2009, Spanish house prices continue to fall.
Official figures show the average price of houses in Spain at €1,903 per sq. m. in Q3 2009; down 0.94% from the previous quarter, 8% from the same period last year, and 9.45% lower than the March 2008 peak (Bank of Spain data). In inflation-adjusted terms, house prices were 0.52% down on the quarter, 7% on the year, and 10.58% from peak.
Realtors show bigger falls, based on offers-for-sale: Facilismo.com shows a price decline of 14.5% since the peak of July 2007.
