Almeria province real estate – 42 homes for sale from €12,900

While housing prices in Spain continue to rise, finding an affordable property remains a challenge for many. Yet, in Almeria province, new opportunities are emerging for buyers seeking value and lifestyle. Solvia, Banco Sabadell’s real estate division, has just launched a large-scale promotion with homes discounted by up to 30% — and 42 of these are right here in Almeria.

This initiative includes a variety of homes — from small village houses to coastal apartments — located in both rural and urban areas. It’s a snapshot of how affordable living in Almeria continues to attract local and foreign buyers alike.

Most affordable real estate under €20,000

According to listings on the official Solvia website, the cheapest home in the province is in the mountain village of Canjáyar, priced at €12,900. It’s a compact one-bedroom flat of around 50 m², located on Juan de la Cruz Street in the Alpujarra region.

Other low-priced options include:

• 🏡 A 160 m² house in Fiñana for €13,500
• 🏠 A small property in Cuevas de San Roque (Almeria City) for €15,000
• 🏡 A 53 m² apartment in Nacimiento priced at €16,500
• 🏠 A two-bedroom flat in Canjáyar for €17,500

All of these properties feature negotiable prices and discounts ranging from 20 % – 30 %. For buyers willing to invest in renovation, they offer a genuine chance to own a home in Andalusia for less than the cost of a small car.

Mid-range opportunities – from €20,000 to €60,000

With slightly higher budgets, buyers can access larger homes and more central locations. For example, an apartment on Maestro Lázaro Street in Tíjola (106 m², three bedrooms) is listed for €20,000, while a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Fiñana sells for €22,000.

In Terque, the well-known museum town, a 55 m² flat is available for €24,000. Nearby in Paterna del Río and Nacimiento, apartments are on offer for around €25,000. Closer to the coast, Viator and Roquetas de Mar each have listings under €30,000 — particularly interesting for those who want access to beaches and services.

One of the most eye-catching deals is in Adra, where several apartments are currently priced below €50,000, making it a strong candidate for long-term rental investment or seasonal living.

Larger towns and premium homes

For buyers looking in established urban centres, Solvia’s catalogue includes listings in El Ejido and Roquetas de Mar. In El Ejido, a two-bedroom apartment on Dr. Castro Street is part of a “Flash Sale” promotion, starting at €62,000. In Roquetas, an 86 m², three-bedroom home is available for €52,000 — 9 % below its original price.

At the upper end of the list are properties in Cuevas del Almanzora (€140,000 for a 60 m² apartment) and in Sorbas, where a seven-bedroom detached villa on a 900 m² plot is priced at €230,000.

TL;DR — Spain’s new State Housing Plan 2026–2030 opens up direct grants for young buyers (under 35) purchasing a primary home in rural Almeria municipalities (under 10,000 inhabitants). Amounts can reach up to €15,000 (capped at 20% of price), with income limits up to 5× IPREM and residence obligations.

1) What’s changing in the 2026–2030 State Housing Plan

Spain’s upcoming State Housing Plan 2026–2030 expands support for young home buyers in small towns. For the first time in Almeria, assistance is expected to reach up to €15,000 for the purchase of a primary residence in municipalities with 10,000 inhabitants or fewer, with a cap of 20% of the purchase price and residence obligations. The policy goal is to help young people step onto the property ladder and to strengthen rural communities at risk of depopulation.

The measure updates earlier rural aid that targeted towns under 5,000 residents, aligning support with the real demographic map of inland Almeria. It comes alongside other youth measures (including rent-to-buy initiatives and guarantees) and sits within a national housing budget envelope of around €7 billion.

2) Who qualifies and key conditions

While regional calls will set the fine print, the national framework anticipates the following baseline conditions:

• Age: under 35 at the time of application.
• Location: property must be in a municipality with ≤10,000 inhabitants (see full list below).
• Use: the home must be your primary and permanent residence.
• Income: up to 5× IPREM (Spanish reference income indicator used to calculate aid eligibility, approx. €8,400/year in 2025), with higher thresholds for large families or disability.
• Amount: base aid above €10,800 and potentially up to €15,000, capped at 20% of the purchase price.
• Exclusivity: you must not have received a similar purchase grant before.
• Minimum residence period: beneficiaries must keep ownership and residence for a set number of years (to be confirmed in the regional call).

3) Why this matters for rural Almeria

The policy targets inland areas like Los Vélez, Filabres-Tabernas and Almanzora, where prices are comparatively accessible but financing and job constraints have slowed first-time purchases. By widening eligibility to towns up to 10,000 residents, the plan could unlock demand in places such as Carboneras, Mojácar, Viator, Dalías and Gádor—and dozens of smaller municipalities—supporting local services and helping to stabilise population trends.

4) How and where to apply

Applications will be processed by the Regional Government of Andalusia once the national Royal Decree is approved and the regional call is published. Start by checking:

• Ministerio de Vivienda y Agenda Urbana (MIVAU) — national program rules, Royal Decree and guidance.
• Junta de Andalucía — housing access measures — regional information, calls and documentation.

Tip: prepare proof of age, income, padron/empadronamiento, purchase contract or reservation, and a signed declaration that the home will be your primary and habitual residence.

5) The 89 Almeria municipalities included (INE 2024)

Based on 2024 population figures, 89 of Almeria’s 103 municipalities have fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. Full list (alphabetical):

6) Outlook for buyers and local markets

If you are under 35 and considering a first home in rural Almeria, this window could meaningfully improve affordability—especially for modestly priced properties where a grant covering up to 20% of the price makes a tangible difference to the upfront cash requirement. Watch for the Andalusian call to confirm exact amounts, eligible price caps, deadlines and residence periods.
