The property market is in the second half of 2023 and won’t stop evolving. Changing residential market habits and needs cause new ideas and ways of life to appear. This is why we see increasingly more successful housing stories somewhat distant from the traditional family home. This article brings you some of the current residential trends spreading throughout Spain.
1. Multipurpose spaces: Searching for properties with multipurpose spaces is on the rise. Buyers look for properties that adapt to different needs, like using a room as a study, game room, or gym if required.
2. Energy efficient buildings: Property buyers find energy efficiency ever more important. Sustainable buildings and properties that minimise energy usage and include renewable energy systems are specially popular. This includes features such as solar panel installation, thermal insulation systems, and water use efficiency.
3. Smart homes: Home automation and technology for the smart home are gaining popularity in Spain. Buyers seek homes equipped with automated systems that allow them to control and manage lighting, heating, security, and other features using mobile phone apps or virtual assistants.
4. Cohousing: Cohousing is a communal way of life in which several families or people share a common space while living in separate dwellings. This kind of life has generated interest in Spain in order to promote cohabitation and share resources but also maintain each individual’s privacy and autonomy.
