For buyers comparing properties in the city, the gap between the average price per square metre of a resale flat and a new home narrowed to €224. The newspaper reported on 9th November that the second-quarter average was €5,158 per square metre for second-hand flats, up 10.8% on the same period a year earlier. New homes averaged €5,382 per square metre, down 0.6% year on year. The 11-quarter high covers a period of two years and nine months. The figures describe average prices, rather than the price of any individual property. --- ## Resale and new-build prices move in opposite directions The difference is also visible in the change since the first three months of 2026\. Second-hand flats rose by 2%, from €5,058 to €5,158 per square metre, while the average for new homes fell by 1.5%, from €5,462 to €5,382. Over a longer period, second-hand prices per square metre have risen more quickly than new-build prices. The comparison between the second quarters of 2018 and 2026 is: - Second-hand flats: from €3,868 to €5,158 per square metre, an increase of 33.35%. - New homes: from €4,674 to €5,382 per square metre, an increase of 15.15%. - Price difference: €806 per square metre in 2018, narrowing to €224 in 2026. --- ## Average resale transaction costs more overall The average total price of a second-hand home sale has also moved above that of a new home, El Periódico Barcelona reported. This is a separate comparison from the price per square metre. Municipal figures cited by the newspaper put the average price of the 595 new homes sold between April and June at €400,830\. That was 5.7% lower than in the second quarter of 2025. --- *Sources:* [*El Periódico*](https://www.elperiodico.com/es/barcelona/20261109/vivienda-segunda-mano-bate-record-136009356?ref=barna.news)*.* --- ### Related on Barna.News - [Prime Barcelona Homes Take 4–5 Months to Sell](https://barna.news/prime-barcelona-homes-take-45-months-to/) - [Company backs down on Gràcia flats purchase](https://barna.news/company-backs-down-on-gracia-flats/)
