The final real estate market data for 2025 have already been published, and now is the time to analyze them. Below, we break down the figures at both provincial level and for the Baix Empordà region and the main municipalities in the central Costa Brava.
The province of Girona
The total number of home sales and purchases in 2025 reached the notable figure of 14,367 transactions. This volume is not far from the record reached in 2022 and represents an increase of 6.66% compared with 2024, confirming that demand remains strong.
In addition, the weight of new-build housing seen last year is being consolidated: just as in 2024, newly built homes account for just over 20% of completed transactions. These are good news, indicating that the real estate market remains dynamic, with solid demand and supply driven by new developments responding positively.
As for the province’s overall prices:
-
New build: The average price stands at €271,000 (generally larger homes).
-
Resale: The average price is €227,000.
-
Price per square meter: It is very similar in both cases, averaging around €2,450. This represents a year-on-year increase of 8% in the average price per square meter at provincial level.
Baix Empordà
In the Baix Empordà region, the overall trends are similar but much more pronounced. The average overall price reaches €323,700, standing 36% above the provincial average. This is due to the large number of mid-to-high-end homes and the growth of new developments along the entire coast.
The price per square meter is around €3,000, which represents an increase of 15.89% compared with the previous year, although with significant variations depending on the area:
-
Highest per m²: Castell-Platja d’Aro (€3,525) and Calonge i Sant Antoni (€3,372).
-
Lowest per m²: Santa Cristina d’Aro (€2,280).
It is essential to emphasize that six municipalities (Calonge i Sant Antoni, Castell-Platja d’Aro, Palamós, Palafrugell, Santa Cristina d’Aro and Sant Feliu de Guíxols) account for 75% of the transactions closed in the region. However, when analyzed in detail, we find major disparities:
-
Santa Cristina d’Aro: It is the municipality with the highest overall average price (€357,700), but paradoxically it has the lowest price per square meter. This is explained by the fact that most transactions are houses with a large surface area, reaching an average of 166.4 m².
-
Castell-Platja d’Aro vs. Calonge i Sant Antoni: Both municipalities show similar average prices (between €320,000 and €340,000), but their behavior changes when separating new build from resale:
-
In Castell-Platja d’Aro, prices (both total and per m²) are very similar between new build and resale.
-
In Calonge i Sant Antoni, major contrasts can be seen: developments on the seafront push the price per square meter of new build up to €4,156, compared with €2,922 for resale.
-
-
Palamós: It records the lowest average price in this group at €245,400. Even so, it has seen a strong increase of 19.8% compared with last year.
In conclusion: These figures show us that every local market is its own world. Having in-depth knowledge of the particular factors and mechanisms that influence each area can make the difference between success and failure when selling a property.
