Gran Canaria Real Estate Update October 2025
If there’s one thing that never changes in Gran Canaria, it’s the sunshine. But when it comes to real estate, there’s always something new under the sun. The market on our beautiful island has been buzzing again this year, especially in the south, where Maspalomas, Meloneras and Playa del Inglés continue to attract buyers from all over Europe. After a relatively quiet 2024, 2025 has brought fresh energy to the property scene. Sales have jumped across the south, and prices are climbing once again — particularly in sought-after areas close to the beach.
Recent figures show a strong rebound. In the first half of the year, the municipalities of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán recorded sharp increases in property transactions compared to 2024. Average prices now hover between €4,800 and €7,000 per square metre, depending on the location, condition and views. Across the Canary Islands as a whole, the average value of pre-owned homes has risen by more than 17% since last summer, reaching around €3,000 per square metre. Despite a small dip in the number of sales during July, experts remain optimistic, forecasting further price growth of up to 12% by the end of 2025.
Behind these numbers lies a familiar story: Gran Canaria remains one of Europe’s most desirable and stable property markets. Demand continues to come from northern Europeans seeking a safe, sunny second home or a long-term lifestyle change. Even as interest rates have nudged higher, the appeal of owning a place in the eternal spring of the Canary Islands seems stronger than ever.
But while the market remains healthy, the rules of the game are evolving. From July 2025, new regulations for short-term rentals have come into force. Anyone renting out a holiday home now needs both a valid Vivienda Vacacional (VV) licence and an NRA registration number. Advertising or renting without these can lead to fines, and in many residential communities, owners must also secure formal approval from their neighbours before hosting tourists. These changes are designed to bring more order and transparency to the holiday rental sector, which has grown enormously over the past decade.
Taxes are also in the spotlight. The Las Palmas council recently announced a reduction in the IBI property tax rate, dropping from 0.67% to 0.62% in 2025 — good news for homeowners, who will see savings of around 7.5% on their annual bills. Meanwhile, capital gains on property sales remain steady at 19% for non-residents, and between 19% and 23% for Spanish residents, depending on the amount gained. Buyers should remember that resale properties are still subject to ITP transfer tax, while new builds incur IGIC, the Canary Islands version of VAT.
Of course, property news on the island is never just about money. In May this year, over twenty thousand people marched through the streets of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote to protest against overtourism and rising housing costs. Their message — “The Canaries have a limit” — reflected a growing concern about the balance between tourism and local life. For investors and homeowners, this means one thing: it’s essential to stay informed and compliant. Properly licensed and responsibly managed rentals are not only safer legally but also more sustainable for the community.
For LGBTQ buyers and expats, Gran Canaria continues to be a welcoming and vibrant destination. The island’s inclusive spirit, warm climate and cosmopolitan atmosphere make it one of the most appealing places in Europe to live, invest and retire. Many buyers are adjusting their strategies, focusing more on medium- or long-term rentals that offer stable income and fewer regulatory headaches. The demand for quality, energy-efficient homes in well-connected neighbourhoods like San Fernando, Sonnenland or Meloneras remains high, and well-presented properties still sell quickly.
As the island prepares for another winter season filled with sunshine and celebration, including the world-famous Winter Pride in Maspalomas, the property market shows no signs of cooling. For sellers, now is a great moment to showcase your home. For buyers, it’s the right time to act carefully but confidently — and always with expert advice.
At Pride Properties Gran Canaria, we combine local insight with international expertise to make your buying or selling journey smooth and transparent. Whether you’re looking for a modern apartment with sea views, a charming bungalow in Playa del Inglés or a sound investment property, our team is here to guide you through every step — in English, Spanish, German and Dutch.
Because in the end, buying a home in Gran Canaria isn’t just a financial decision. It’s a lifestyle choice — one that comes with sunshine, community and a sense of belonging. And as we like to say here: life is simply better under the Canarian sun. 🌞
