A real estate expert warns about future housing prices in Spain.

Another of the recent steps is the Price Index, which seeks to cap rental prices in areas declared stressed. However, despite these measures, many Spaniards are concerned as it has become a problem of the first order, especially for the younger generations who are finding it difficult to accumulate enough savings and money to buy a home.

In this context, economist and real estate investment expert Paul Antó shared his forecast on what will happen to housing prices in the coming months during an interview with YouTuber Wall Street Wallverine.

In his analysis, Antó was not particularly optimistic. "The Spanish market is overheated, just like the shopping basket in Spain, and many other things in the country. I think we have a very serious problem with the overall standard of living," the expert explained.

For him, "the cost of housing is a problem." In this context, he expressed the opinion that as an economist, he does not know what the solution might be. Regarding the prospects that lie ahead, he was also clear: "Macro data does not indicate that we are heading in the other direction; nothing suggests that housing prices will fall."

In his analysis, he pointed out that one of the problems in the market is that "there is a lack of rental housing," which, among other reasons, "leads to a trend of rising prices." He also noted the market regulation aimed at reducing prices: "The fact that the market is regulated leads to a decrease in supply because you don't like this regulation, and it results in price increases." On the other hand, he explained that when policymakers decided to cap rental prices, it led, on one hand, to "more illegal operations," and on the other, to landlords finding it "unprofitable to rent under such conditions," prompting them to choose other options.
