They were followed by <strong>Moroccan citizens<\/strong>, with 6.4%, and Dutch buyers, with 5.8%. <\/p>\n<p>The weight of international demand was particularly significant in island and Mediterranean markets. The <strong>Balearic Islands<\/strong> led the table, with 37.2% of sales in foreign hands, followed by the <strong>Valencian<\/strong> Community, with 30.4%. In the rest of the autonomous communities, this share was below 30%.<\/p>\n<h2>House prices hit new highs again<\/h2>\n<p>The residential market continues to show strong upward pressure on prices. The College of Registrars&#8217; <strong>Repeat Sales House Price Index<\/strong> recorded a year on year increase of 15.8% in the third quarter, while compared with the previous three months it rose by 5.2%. <strong>Both movements took the index to a new all time high.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The average home price reached 2,512 euros per square metre. By type, existing homes stood at 2,462 euros\/m2 after posting a <strong>quarterly increase<\/strong> of 0.6%. New build homes reached 2,701 euros\/m2, with a rise of 2.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these figures, the evolution of average prices points to a moderation in the pace of growth. According to this methodology, <strong>the increase was 1%<\/strong> on a quarterly basis and 9.3% compared with the same period a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>By autonomous community, Madrid recorded the highest average price, at 4,565 euros\/m2, followed closely by the <strong>Balearic Islands<\/strong>, at 4,502 euros\/m2. Next came the <strong>Basque Country<\/strong> (3,693 euros\/m2), <strong>Catalonia<\/strong> (2,989 euros\/m2) and the <strong>Canary Islands<\/strong> (2,850 euros\/m2).<\/p>\n<p>The ranking by provincial capitals once again puts <strong>San Sebasti\u00e1n in first place<\/strong>, with 6,662 euros per square metre. Madrid is in second place, with 5,597 euros\/m2, followed by Barcelona (5,124), Palma (4,408) and Bilbao (3,877).<\/p>\n<h2>Home sales fall for the third consecutive quarter<\/h2>\n<p>Against the backdrop of rising prices, activity in the residential market is starting to show signs of cooling. During the third quarter, home sales fell <strong>by 5.9%<\/strong> year on year, according to the registrars&#8217; data.<\/p>\n<p>The comparison with the previous quarter is also negative. Transactions fell by 2.3%, marking three consecutive quarters of declines. <strong>Between July and September<\/strong> 164,148 sales were recorded, the lowest volume in the last nine quarters.<\/p>\n<p>By segment, <strong>new build homes accounted for 34,611 transactions<\/strong>, 0.9% fewer than in the previous quarter. Existing homes generated most of the activity, with 129,537 transactions, although they also saw a drop of 2.6%. Quarterly declines spread across ten autonomous communities and 27 provinces.<\/p>\n<h2>Mortgages also fall in the third quarter<\/h2>\n<p>Mortgage financing followed a similar trend. Between July and September, 124,145 mortgages on homes were registered, a quarterly reduction of 3.9%. <strong>This figure is equivalent to 75.6% of all<\/strong> home sales recorded during the period.<\/p>\n<p>However, the balance for the last twelve months remains positive. In that time, 519,388 mortgages on homes were taken out, 6% more than in the previous twelve months.<\/p>\n<p>Andalusia recorded the highest number of mortgage transactions in the third quarter, with 23,635, followed by Catalonia with 23,268. <strong>The Community of Madrid<\/strong> registered 18,240 transactions and the Valencian Community 15,692.<\/p>\n<p>As for the mortgage amount per square metre, Madrid was again in the lead, with 3,158 euros\/m2. The Balearic Islands were in second place, with 2,987 euros\/m2, followed by the <strong>Basque Country<\/strong> (2,392) and <strong>Catalonia<\/strong> (2,248).<\/p>\n<p>The data depict a property market marked by an apparent contradiction: while prices continue to break records and foreign demand becomes more prominent, <strong>the number of sales has been falling for several quarters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-c-mention-original-translation\" class=\"c-mention-original-translation c-mention-original-translation--business\">\n<aside>This text was translated
