Vitoria real estate market forecasts for 2026 according to experts

How will prices evolve in 2026? We are observing a European trend that is expected to continue and can be applied to the Vitoria real estate market.

The European Central Bank has confirmed that the interest rate will remain at 2% in 2026. Supply is low and demand is high, so prices are expected to continue rising, making this a good time to sell.

Mortgage rates are expected to remain stable, according to the Spanish Savings Bank Foundation (Funcas) via Idealista: “The Euribor is expected to close 2025 at 2.07%, drop to 1.9% in 2026, and rise back to 2% in 2027.”

A maximum fluctuation of two-tenths is expected over the next 26 months, offering stability for those with variable-rate mortgages.

Fitch Ratings agrees: “Far from correcting, the housing deficit will continue to expand, albeit at a slower pace than in previous years.”

Caixabank’s Sectorial Real Estate Report states that the demand recovery “initiated in the second half of 2024” has consolidated with a 19.7% increase compared to the first half of the previous year.
