Forecasts on Public Housing Construction in Catalonia: Market Changes and Opportunities
According to a recent article published in La Vanguardia, the Government of Catalonia has announced an ambitious plan to expand the public housing stock with 50,000 new units by the year 2030. This measure, mainly focused on protected rental housing, aims to address the growing problem of access to housing, especially among young people and vulnerable groups.
This announcement could bring significant changes to the Catalan real estate market in the coming years, affecting both buyers and investors. At Finques El Pallars, we want to help you understand these forecasts and prepare to take advantage of the opportunities that may arise.
Key figures of the project:
- Estimated annual investment: €1.1 billion per year until 2030.
- Construction history: Only 1,230 protected housing units built in the last decade.
- Short- and medium-term outlook: Up to 25,000 protected rental homes between 2027 and 2028.
- Support for young people: Financing up to 20% of the purchase price for those under 35. €500 million allocated to exercise the right of first refusal and repurchase on homes acquired through foreclosure.
What should a mid-term buyer take into account?
The coming years may represent a period of change, but also opportunity for those considering buying a property. Here are some key points:
