The cost of buying a home in Pineda de Mar

Roughly a third of dwellings, 30,55 %, are not a main residence. Pineda de Mar is a town rather than a city, which in Barcelona usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. An appraised average of 2.258,1 €/m² puts this above the national middle.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

Catalonia charges transfer tax on a progressive scale rather than a single rate, starting at 10 % and rising through bands as the value goes up; the table below applies the scale bracket by bracket. On a Pineda de Mar resale the Catalonia transfer tax is the single largest item after the price itself.

The three prices are round illustrative figures chosen to bracket the ordinary range, not measurements of this market.

The cadastral values are dated

The Pineda de Mar register dates from 2005; a future revision could move the yearly bill significantly even if the rate never changes.

The construction tax is 4 %, the statutory maximum, which matters if you plan to renovate.

The shape of the housing stock

In Pineda de Mar, 30,55 % of dwellings are not a main home, enough for holiday demand to matter without dominating.

Almost the whole register is housing: 16.173 residential units out of 25.043 urban ones.

Tenure is published only for the larger municipalities and the provincial capitals, which leaves Pineda de Mar out.

The yearly bill, which is not small here

Cadastral values in Pineda de Mar average 64.734 € per dwelling, an ordinary base.

The 0,84 % urban IBI rate in Pineda de Mar is high by Spanish standards.

Rural property is charged 0,9 %, which is steep for land.

180.000 € of cadastral value at 0,84 % is 1.512 € a year, but the base is dated and a revision would change it sharply.

The cadastral value in this example is a round illustrative figure, not the cadastral value of any particular property here. Ask for the last IBI receipt: it states the real one.
