At aProperties Real Estate, we have identified a growing interest in properties that combine exclusivity, comfort, and accessibility. This phenomenon is driven by both demographic changes and the evolving buyer profile in Spain. Our analysis shows that Spain is among the oldest living countries in the world, with more than 20% of the population over 65 years of age, a factor that directly influences housing design and investment decisions. More and more families and buyers value accessibility features, including spacious elevators, single-story homes, adapted bathrooms, and barrier-free environments. This demand not only responds to the needs of the older population but is also perceived by younger generations as a smart investment and a guarantee for the future, increasing the relevance of these properties within the prime segment of the real estate market.
New construction is positioned as a key differentiating value in this context, as all newly built homes must meet basic accessibility criteria established by regulations, including wider doorways, adequate turning spaces, ramps, adapted bathrooms, and modern elevators. This legal requirement not only improves the functionality of properties but also increases their attractiveness and potential for future appreciation. At aProperties Real Estate, our internal data shows that interest in accessible new-build homes has grown 30% year-over-year, outpacing demand for existing properties, due to the combination of modern design, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
The average price of accessible new-build homes managed by aProperties currently stands at €1.9 million, with year-over-year increases of 6-7% in prime areas. The average surface area of these properties is around 150-200 m², including large common areas adapted to ensure comfort and mobility for all ages. Our records indicate that approximately 45% of new-build buyers seek to establish their primary residence in these settings, while the remaining 55% are investors aware of the future demand and equity value of these properties.
New-build residential complexes stand out for integrating health services, social areas, adapted gyms, and leisure spaces designed for all types of users, offering a safe and comfortable lifestyle without sacrificing the aesthetic and exclusivity standards typical of the premium segment. The combination of accessibility, contemporary design, and energy efficiency makes new-build a strategic investment, both for those seeking permanent housing and for those seeking to diversify their assets with high-value, sustainably appreciated properties.
At aProperties Real Estate, we assist our clients in identifying and acquiring new-build properties that meet the highest standards of design, exclusivity, sustainability, and accessibility, ensuring that each property is not only functional but also a solid, long-term investment asset. The trend toward adapted and accessible housing is consolidating as a central focus of real estate in Spain, reflecting how the market is evolving to meet the needs of an older population that is conscious of well-being, comfort, and security, while also highlighting new construction as a guarantee of innovation, efficiency, and future appreciation.
