The Barcelona property market
Barcelona remains one of Europe´s most desirable locations for both national and international property buyers who are looking for either a primary residence, a second home or an investment property. With its superb climate, excellent communication links to the rest of Europe, world-class gastronomy and vibrant nightlife as well as its proximity to the beautiful beaches of the Costa Brava and the ski slopes of the Pyrenees, the city of Barcelona and its surroundings offer a fantastic lifestyle with something for everyone.
Barcelona’s appeal is multi-faceted. The World’s Best Cities 2021 report by international firm Resonance, puts the Catalan capital as the eighth best place in which to live, work and invest, coming after only London, New York, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, Dubai and Singapore. According to the EU-Start-Ups study in 2020, Barcelona was placed as the 5th best city in the world for establishing a start-up and the annual report by fDi Intelligence places Barcelona second – only behind London – for attracting the top companies from the world of tech. Amazon and Facebook both have a major presence in the city.
