The latest data from the General Council of Notaires reveals property sales up almost 2% in Spain in April, while prices fell by 3.9% year-on-year as a national average. The council said the total of 30,758 transactions completed “reflects the stabilisation in monthly sales”
Further revelations were the average sale price in April (€1,188/sqm) and an increase in the number of mortgages available, up 12.3% year-on-year.

In cities like Alicante, on the Costa Blanca, 58% of homes have a price below €143,000.
