The cost of buying a home in Aldaia

Almost nothing here is a second home: 14,9 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. Aldaia is a town rather than a city, which in Valencia usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. At 1.602,1 €/m² the appraised average sits below the national middle.

The bill that lands on the day of the deed

Valencian Community applies 9 %, among the highest transfer-tax rates in Spain. Buying an existing home in Aldaia means paying the Valencian Community transfer tax on top of the price, not out of it.

The typical Aldaia home is on the register at 50.608 €, below the national middle.

Aldaia charges 0,56 % on urban property, modestly below the common level.

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.

An ageing cadastral register

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

Aldaia has not revalued since 2009, which is long enough for the gap to market values to be substantial.

A stock of homes people actually live in

14.434 dwellings were counted at the census.

Only 14,9 % of Aldaia dwellings are not somebody's main home, so the market is driven by people who live here.

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

How many homes change hands

With 14.123 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.
