Sagunto home prices up 93% in five years — fastest rise in Spain
The price per square metre in Sagunto jumped from €894 to €1,729 between 2021 and 2026, the largest percentage increase among major Spanish municipalities, according to property portal Idealista.
Buying a flat in Sagunto has almost doubled in price over five years. The cost per square metre rose from €894 to €1,729 — a 93.4% increase that outpaces Valencia (+68.4%), Madrid (+63.9%) and Marbella (+77.5%). In Puerto de Sagunto (the coastal district), values are approaching €1,999/m², with year-on-year rises close to 30%; the beachfront zone has reached €2,047/m².
The sharpest acceleration began in the second half of 2025. Where annual price changes ran between 8% and 14% during 2023–2024, they have consistently exceeded 20% since late 2025, hitting nearly 28% in early 2026.
Analysts point to several drivers: PowerCo's gigafactory (Volkswagen Group), which received €397 million in state funding through the PERTE VEC (National Strategic Project for Electric Vehicles) scheme in 2022 and a further €167 million from the Valencian Government; buyers priced out of Valencia city relocating to Sagunto; and the town's growing services offer and strong transport links. Sagunto City Council has called for reinforcements in healthcare, education and public facilities to keep pace with expected population growth. Reported by El Periódico de Aquí.
