The cost of buying a home in Xirivella

Almost nothing here is a second home: 13,06 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. Xirivella is a town rather than a city, which in Valencia usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock. At 1.705,5 €/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 Xirivella means paying the Valencian Community transfer tax on top of the price, not out of it.

The recurring yearly cost

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

At 0,65 %, the Xirivella urban IBI rate is an ordinary one.

A cadastral value of 35.699 € per residential unit keeps the Xirivella bill modest whatever the rate.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,65 %, or 1.170 € a year — on a register so old that the rate tells you little about the eventual bill.

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.

How many homes change hands

401 home sales went through the notaries in Xirivella in the year — a quiet market.

With 13.458 residential units on the register, that is moderate turnover of the existing stock.

Second quarter was the busiest quarter and Fourth quarter the thinnest, but the spread was mild.

The market in appraisal terms

It rests on 114 appraisals, a thin base that a few unusual properties can move.

Xirivella housing is appraised at 1.705,5 €/m² on average.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

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

Xirivella last revalued its cadastre in 1995, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

A stock of homes people actually live in

13.504 dwellings were counted at the census.

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

Only 13,06 % of Xirivella dwellings are not somebody's main home, so the market is driven by people who live here.
