This is clear from the latest report published by Idealista, which analyzes where these homes are located after the Government’s announcement to mobilize up to 50,000 flats from the bad bank to allocate them to social rental. .
According to this study, 3% of the homes on the Sareb website are in municipalities with very low demand, while 60% are in areas with low demand. In addition, 27% of the offer of this organization is located in areas of high demand and only 10% in areas of very high demand.
Castilla y León and Andalucía are the communities that accumulate the most homes in areas of very low demand, with 6% and 5% respectively. They are followed by Extremadura (3%), Castilla-La Mancha (2%), Galicia and Asturias (1% in both cases).
In the case of low demand, in Aragón, Asturias and La Rioja, practically all of Sareb’s offer (99% in all cases) is in areas of low demand. They are followed by Extremadura (97%), Galicia (96%), Castilla y León (94%) and Cantabria (90%). In Navarra, Sareb has no supply in low-demand areas, while in Madrid it only has 3%.
On the other hand, in the most stressed markets, Sareb homes are located in areas with high demand, Madrid being where we find the most supply of this type, 64%. They are followed by the Balearic Islands with 58%, Catalonia with 47% and Navarra with 45%. Navarra is also the community with the most Sareb offer in areas with very high demand, 55%. Next are the Canary Islands (49%), Madrid (34%), Catalonia (20%) and the Basque Country (18%).
Even so, we must bear in mind that the homes that Sareb claims to own on its website do not discriminate based on state of conservation or whether or not they have been illegally occupied, which could significantly change these percentages in large markets.
