Some 76.3% of respondents to Spain’s “Housing 2026” barometer said the state should intervene in the market as much as necessary to ensure everyone can access housing. The Centre for Sociological Research (CIS) conducted the survey with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda.

A total of 79% said the right to housing should take priority as a constitutional right, while 13.5% described housing as “a market good”. The housing situation in Spain worries 86.9% of respondents a great deal or quite a lot.

Some 91.4% agreed that public administrations should build more public housing than they do now. Meanwhile, 44.5% said the state should have the greatest powers to improve access to housing.

Some 80.6% have no plans to buy a home in the next two years. Among those who intend to buy, 63.5% said they would do so with another person.

Among respondents who prefer owning a home but do not plan to buy one in the next two years, 80.7% cited a lack of money for a down payment, while 71.3% said their income was insufficient to cover instalments.

The barometer is based on 6,019 interviews conducted from June 22 to 30.
