The demand

Demand, employment and liquidity

The structural depth of the market: how many people live here, what they earn, how much changes hands and what stress it carries. This is market context, never a measure of tenant risk.

2.8Market turnover
Spain 3.3 transactions a year per 1,000 residents · more turnover, easier to resell
5.9‰Net migration
Spain 12.8‰ arrivals minus departures from abroad per 1,000 residents
0.23Repossession pressure
Spain 0.55 housing repossessions per 1,000 dwellings of the provincial stock · 2025

Repossessions are a provincial figure (INE): they describe the market in Bizkaia, not this municipality alone.
