What factors affect the final cost of new-build property in the province of Seville?

In new-build promotions in the province of Seville, the price per square meter generally depends on the relationship between supply and demand. The location, the square meters of the property, materials, quality, and finishes, the height and orientation, as well as the common facilities and services available, all influence the value of the properties. The economic and labour situation of the municipality, population density, foreign investment, and tourism in the area are also components that affect the price of housing.

Other factors, such as common services and facilities, require special mention. Buying an apartment in a promotion complex is not the same as buying a new independent house or villa since in the former, the cost is communal, while in the latter, the cost is private and personal. One of the best options, if you are interested in buying a new-build home in the province of Seville, is to do so while the construction is in the planning phase, that is, before the works start. If this is not possible, it is advisable to make the purchase in the early stages of the building, as the price may be reduced by up to 30%.

What is the situation of the new construction real estate market in the province of Seville?

In 2021, the real estate market in Seville has evolved positively, registering increases of around 7% in the average price compared to the previous year. The average cost of properties has been sustained by a reactivation of the market, which has allowed new developments to be made available to citizens. In 2021, 1,052 properties were initiated in a total of 25 developments in the Andalusian capital, and in the first semester of this year, 791 properties are expected to be initiated in 12 projects, according to data from Brains RE.

Municipalities such as San Juan de Aznalfarache or Mairena del Aljarafe and the town of Dos Hermanas have grown significantly in recent years, absorbing existing demand. However, some developers are concluding arrangements to acquire land in the capital in areas such as Palmas Altas, Cruzcampo, Sevilla Este, and Pítamo.

The area of Aljarafe, which includes towns such as Mairena de Aljarafe, San Juan de Aznalfarache, Bormujos, Camas, Gelves, Tomares, and Bollullos de la Mitación, is in continuous growth, with about 30 developers operating. In the municipalities of Dos Hermanas, Alcalá de Guadaira, and Montequinto, 12 developers have been working since 2021 to build about 2,000 homes.

What benefits does buying a new development offer compared to a second-hand property in the province of Seville?

The real estate market is on the rise following the real estate crisis of a few years ago. In the province of Seville, it has focused on the municipalities of Dos Hermanas, Alcalá de Guadira, and Montequinto; towns in the metropolitan area of the capital that have a lot of tourism due to their proximity to it.

New construction homes are a guarantee of purchase compared to second-hand ones, as among other factors, they offer the possibility of personalization, quality and warranty assurance since they are newly constructed, as well as cost reduction and energy efficiency. The development of facilities and common areas that include large swimming pools, garden areas, playgrounds, tennis and paddle tennis courts, and even gyms and nurseries, in some cases, are characteristics that have been promoted in recent developments. Generally, there is a high demand for homes with a terrace.
