🏠 Spain's Shocking 100% Property Tax for purchase of real estate for foreigners: Where Should Investors Look in 2025?

Spain introduces a controversial 100% property tax for non-EU citizens purchasing real estate. Authorities claim this measure will help address the country’s housing shortage, but experts warn that the ripple effects could be much broader, especially for foreign investors and those planning to relocate.

Spain isn’t alone. Other European countries are also tightening access to real estate for foreigners. France, Portugal, and Greece have already taken similar steps — from ending golden visa programs to restricting short-term rentals and introducing stricter regulations for buyers. All of this is part of a broader effort to slow price growth and maintain housing affordability for locals.

The result? Foreign buyers are finding it increasingly difficult to secure clear, attractive terms in Europe’s most popular property markets.
