Why use the INE IPV
The Índice de Precios de Vivienda (IPV) is Spain's official residential property price index. It's compiled by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) using actual sale transactions registered at the Spanish notaries, and published quarterly with breakdowns by Comunidad Autónoma and property type (new vs second-hand).
Idealista and Fotocasa report asking prices from current listings. INE reports actual transaction prices. For tracking the value of a property you already own, transaction-based data is more accurate than listing-based estimates.
INE is the source used by the Bank of Spain, the ECB, and the European Commission for Spanish housing market analysis.
How WealthMap tracks Spanish property
Enter your Spanish property: Comunidad Autónoma (Madrid, Cataluña, Andalucía, etc.), property type (new build or second-hand), purchase date, purchase price. WealthMap applies the IPV change for your region and type since the purchase date.
Example: a Madrid apartment bought in March 2019 for €380,000. The Madrid second-hand IPV rose roughly 28% by January 2026. WealthMap shows your current value as €486,400 with a +28% gain — plus a chart of how it tracked vs the Madrid index every quarter.
Data is pulled from INE on-device. No subscription. No third-party scraping.
Coverage of all 17 Comunidades Autónomas
INE publishes the IPV separately for all 17 Spanish Comunidades Autónomas plus Ceuta and Melilla. WealthMap supports each one individually — Madrid, Cataluña, Andalucía, Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, País Vasco, Castilla y León, Canarias, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Aragón, Extremadura, Asturias, Navarra, Cantabria, La Rioja, Islas Baleares, plus Ceuta and Melilla.
Beyond Spanish property
If you're a Spanish resident with property abroad — a Lisbon apartment, a London flat, a Berlin Wohnung — WealthMap tracks each one against its own country's official index. Your dashboard aggregates everything in EUR.
