Zaragoza real estate: new laws, prices and trends last week

Introduction

In the past week several news items have been published that directly affect the real‑estate market of Zaragoza and Aragón. The most relevant topics are the new housing decrees that modify tenant and landlord rights, the sharp decline in the supply of tourist apartments, the increase in tourist‑use licences, and the evolution of the Euribor, which influences mortgages. In this article we analyse what these changes mean for buyers, sellers, tenants and local investors.

1. Housing decrees and their impact on rentals

According to the article in *El Periódico de Aragón* (a regional newspaper) “What will happen now with evictions? When will the landlord compensate the tenant? 7 questions (and answers) about the housing decrees”[^3], the regional government has approved a series of decrees that strengthen protection for vulnerable tenants and set new obligations for landlords:

• Mandatory compensation to the tenant in case of eviction for non‑payment, with a minimum amount equivalent to three months' rent.
• Notice period extended from 60 to 90 days for contract termination by the landlord.
• Cap on rent increases during the first five years, linked to the CPI (IPC).

What this means for landlords: greater legal certainty, but also the need to plan profitability taking compensation and rent‑increase limits into account. For tenants: more stability and protection, although the rental market may become more competitive.

2. Drop in the supply of tourist apartments

*El Periódico de Aragón* reports that the supply of tourist apartments in Zaragoza has fallen by 25 % over the last two years[^1]. This decline is due to a combination of tighter regulation and waning interest from owners. In contrast, another report from *heraldo.es* (a national news outlet) notes that the total number of tourist‑use licences has doubled in five years, reaching 600 in the city[^7].

Practical interpretation:

• Owners renting short‑term: may face tougher competition for the remaining licences and therefore a possible reduction in income.
• Buyers and investors: should assess whether the downward trend in supply offsets the higher demand for traditional rentals, which could translate into more stable or even rising sale prices.
• Tenants: the reduction in tourist apartments frees up more units for residential rent, but pressure on the rental market remains high.

3. Euribor evolution and its effect on mortgages

Rankia reports that the one‑year Euribor stands at 3.267 % on 26 October 2026[^14]. This level, although higher than at the start of the year, is still low compared with historic peaks.

Consequences for the sector:

• Buyers with variable‑rate mortgages: will see a slight increase in their monthly payments. It is advisable to consider switching to a fixed rate if a further Euribor rise is expected.
• Sellers: can use the situation to stimulate sales by offering financing facilities or partnering with lenders that provide attractive fixed rates.
• Rental investors: financing costs remain reasonable, allowing continued profitability of rented properties.

4. Price trends and recent transactions

*El Periódico de Aragón* announced the sale of a three‑bedroom apartment with a garage in a rapidly growing neighbourhood for €180,000[^10]. While this is a single case, it reflects ongoing demand in emerging areas of Zaragoza.

Recommendations:

• Property valuation: if you are thinking of selling, request a professional appraisal to know the true market value of your flat. You can do this through our [property valuation](/inmobiliaria-zaragoza/valoracion-piso) service.
• Sales strategy: highlight the neighbourhood’s advantages (infrastructure, services, growth potential) to attract buyers looking for a good quality‑price ratio.

5. Frequently asked questions

How does the new eviction regulation affect my rental contract?

The decrees set a minimum compensation and extend the notice period to 90 days, giving tenants greater security and requiring landlords to plan their income more carefully.

Is it still profitable to rent my flat as a tourist accommodation despite the 25 % drop?

It depends on location and licence availability. In areas with high tourist demand and limited licences, profitability can remain, but in saturated zones the trend is downward.

Should I switch my variable‑rate mortgage to a fixed rate with Euribor at 3.267 %?

If you can afford it and prefer stability, switching to a fixed rate may be a good option. Consult your bank to compare conditions.

Conclusion and call to action

The regulatory changes, the reduction in tourist‑apartment supply and the Euribor evolution create a dynamic scenario for Zaragoza’s real‑estate market. Buyers, sellers and tenants must stay informed and act strategically.
