Maximum prices for Valencian protected housing to be updated from January 2027

The Comunitat Valenciana will update the maximum prices for protected housing from 1 January 2027. As a general rule, the new benchmark will be calculated using the annual change in the CPI for 2026, under Valencian Law 5/2026, which came into force on 11 August.

The regional department responsible for housing may set a different percentage through a reasoned decision and an economic report. Factors it may consider include construction costs, materials, energy, labour and financing.

The current maximum price is €2,568 per square metre of usable floor space. The figure was set in August, following a 7% increase on the previous limit of €2,400. The relevant Directorate-General must publish the new prices each year; the update will take effect from 1 January, even if it is published later.

The law also sets out rules for applying the new limits to developments and case files. Binding contracts signed before the update is published will retain the agreed financial terms.

The law also provides for the development of a dynamic pricing model. In January 2026, the Generalitat began a preliminary public consultation on this regulation, which includes criteria such as the municipality, average income, demographic trends and purchase prices.

For people looking for protected housing in Guardamar or other municipalities in the Vega Baja, the adjustment could affect the maximum prices for future transactions and developments. The amount applicable in 2027 will depend on the update published for that year.
