1. Decentralization and the Rise of Natural Surroundings

The pandemic and the consolidation of remote work have accelerated a trend that was already emerging: the search for homes outside the densest urban centers. In Catalonia, this translates into increased demand in the Barcelona metropolitan area (nearby municipalities with good connections), as well as coastal areas (Maresme, Garraf, Costa Brava) and inland counties (Vallès, Bages, Osona).

Buyers now value outdoor spaces (gardens, terraces), proximity to nature, and greater tranquility more than ever, without giving up good connectivity. This is driving the appreciation of properties in areas that were not previously the main focus.

2. The Consolidation of Sustainable and Efficient Housing

Environmental awareness and energy savings are no longer optional—they are a priority. In 2025, we expect even stronger demand for properties with high energy efficiency, sustainable certifications, and the use of eco-friendly materials. From solar panels to aerothermal systems and optimized insulation, these features not only reduce environmental impact but also significantly lower utility bills and increase the property’s long-term value. New constructions already include these features as standard, and renovations increasingly focus on energy improvements.

3. The Long-Term Rental Market Remains Strong

Despite legislative changes and economic volatility, the rental market in Catalonia remains robust. In 2025, long-term rentals are expected to remain a primary option for a significant portion of the population, especially among young people and those with higher job mobility.

The difficulty of accessing homeownership for many, combined with the flexibility offered by renting, ensures that demand remains high. Investors continue to see rentals as a stable source of income, though with greater attention to net profitability after regulatory adjustments.

4. Digitalization as the Central Axis of the Real Estate Experience

Technology is no longer a complement—it is at the core. In 2025, the digitalization of real estate processes will be even deeper. Expect to see more:

• Immersive virtual visits and high-quality 360º tours as standard.
• Electronic signatures and digital contracts to streamline procedures.
• Advanced online platforms for property management and communication between all parties.
• Use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for property valuation, client segmentation, and identifying investment opportunities.

The convenience and efficiency provided by technology will be decisive factors for buyers and sellers.

5. Revaluation of Multipurpose Spaces and Community Services

Homes are no longer just for living; they are offices, gyms, and leisure spaces. This trend will intensify in 2025, with growing demand for properties that offer flexibility in their spaces (multipurpose rooms, dedicated work areas).

Additionally, in residential communities and new developments, community services (coworking rooms, gyms, swimming pools, green areas, event spaces) will become a crucial added value, improving quality of life and the property’s appeal.
