Polish interest in Spanish residential real estate remains strong this year, with more than 3,000 homes purchased in the first three quarters of 2025, according to the latest figures from the Spanish Land Registry (Registradores de España). In the third quarter alone, Polish buyers acquired 1,087 apartments and houses across Spain. While below the record-breaking level achieved during the same period in 2024, the volume confirms that demand remains structurally high.
Foreign buyer statistics from Registradores de España and market insights from Idealista News and Fotocasa Research indicate that Poland now consistently ranks among the top 10 nationalities investing in Spanish residential property. In Q3 2025, British buyers remained the largest group, followed by German and Dutch purchasers. Romanian and Moroccan buyers also showed strong activity in the quarter. Poles ranked eighth overall, representing 4.63 percent of international purchases.
The concentration of demand continues to favour the southern coast, particularly the Costa del Sol, where the combination of mild climate, established infrastructure and strong rental appeal drives investment interest. Marbella, Estepona and Málaga remain the most popular destinations for Polish buyers, according to Dream Property Marbella, a Polish brokerage operating in the region.
“Many clients see Spain not only as a place to enjoy better weather but also as a safe long-term investment,” said Tatiana Pękala, owner of Dream Property Marbella. “Even though quarterly results are slightly below last year’s record, the market continues to offer stable value growth and protection against volatility at home.”
There are, however, emerging challenges. Certain regions are debating limitations on non-resident purchases due to pressure on local housing affordability. Rental regulations for tourist use are also tightening, particularly in coastal municipalities with strong short-stay rental markets. Despite these factors, market analytics platforms including Fotocasa Research describe Polish activity as part of a longer-term behavioural trend rather than a temporary surge. Transaction volumes fluctuate quarter to quarter, but overall demand remains consistently high.
Spain remains attractive for second-home buyers and investors seeking diversification abroad. Market analysts note that property in southern Europe is increasingly perceived as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty—factors that are particularly relevant for Central European investors. With stable pricing and continued demand in key coastal markets, international activity, including purchases by Polish investors, is expected to remain resilient heading into 2026.
