All articles →Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
After Spain: Where Europe’s Foreign Property Money Goes Next
Spain is now late-cycle and crowded for foreign buyers — so where does Europe's property money rotate next? CASABROVA separates revealed preference, structural quality (the Score) and timing (the Master Index), and maps the case for Romania, Poland and the UAE.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — June 2026
June’s briefing is a one-time Score reset: Netherlands, Ireland and Poland cluster at the top; Spain, Portugal and Czechia remain in withdrawal; Greece is at peak; Germany and the UK move toward recovery; Romania enters the Virtual Portfolio.
Global Investor Briefing — May 2026
Scores were stable this month — the real stories are a generational currency window for shekel buyers, Greece emerging as a withdrawal candidate while Spain surprisingly holds at peak, and three markets moving from correction into recovery.
The Yield Illusion: Why Municipal STR Regulations are Destroying Cross-Border Valuations
A massive "Yield Illusion" has formed. Investors are pricing properties based on historical cash flows, fatally ignoring that hyper-local municipal regulations have decoupled historical performance from future returns.
Iberian Crossroads: Portugal vs. Spain for Real Estate Investors in 2026
Spain has tightened STR rules and abolished its Golden Visa entirely. Portugal pivoted — lifting license freezes but doubling entry tax. A surgical comparison of the four vectors that matter.
Market Review — Madrid
Madrid is Spain's capital and the country's strongest institutional property market. Average prices of €4,500–5,500/sqm in central districts like Salamanca, Chamberí, and Retiro position Madrid below Paris and London but above most Southern European capitals. LTR yields of 4–5% in prime areas rise to 5.5–7% in emerging districts like Vallecas, Usera, and Carabanchel.
Spain's rental market is heavily regulated: the 2023 Housing Law caps rent increases at 3% annually for existing tenants and classifies high-demand zones (zonas tensionadas) where new-let rents are also capped. STR licensing varies by district — central Madrid requires a vivienda de uso turístico (VUT) license that has become increasingly difficult to obtain. This regulatory environment favors LTR strategies.
Key considerations: Spain's 19% CGT for non-residents is competitive, and the 10% transfer tax (ITP) in Madrid is standard. Spain's Golden Visa program (€500,000 investment) includes Madrid, though it's under review. For Chinese investors, Madrid has a growing Usera/Chinatown community that provides operational support.
