Data and events refer to: August 2026.
Idealista put the average home price in Madrid city at €6,471/m² in August 2026, 1.2% lower than July and 4.3% below the peak reached in March. A single month does not set a trend, but the figure helps put headlines in context.
One city, very different prices
In the August report, the Salamanca district topped €10,000/m² while Villaverde was close to €3,300/m². In July, Chamberí stood at €8,971/m², 7.7% higher than a year earlier. Neighbourhoods within a district differ as well.
Why there is no single figure
Brains Real Estate, using its own method for the second quarter, gave €11,996/m² for Salamanca and €9,977/m² for Chamberí. These are listing prices and different periods, so they should not be mixed.
What to look at beyond the area
- The home's real condition and any work needed.
- Floor, light, lift and orientation.
- The state of the building and approved special levies.
- Community fees and property tax.
- Usable versus built area when calculating the price per metre.
