El Ejecutivo canario ha elevado una propuesta de real decreto ley para limitar la compra de vivienda en las islas.
El Ejecutivo canario (CC-PP) ha elevado al Gobierno de España una propuesta de real decreto ley para que se prohíba comprar una vivienda en las islas a toda persona, sea española o extranjera, que no acredite diez años de empadronamiento en su territorio (o 15, si es discontinuo).
Esta propuesta legislativa, a la que ha tenido acceso EFE, establece también que un mismo ciudadano solo podrá comprar dos viviendas en Canarias -y siempre que estén en municipios diferentes-, al tiempo que dispone que las personas jurídicas (empresas o sociedades de inversión) únicamente podrán adquirir viviendas en las islas si su fin social es venderlas o alquilarlas a personas físicas.

The real estate crisis in Spain, characterized by financialization and the lack of public housing, has caused a wave of youth protests. The political debate is divided between state regulation and increasing supply through construction.

Given the difficulties in saving the down payment on a mortgage, formulas such as rent with an option to buy are gaining ground in Spain. Companies buy the property chosen by the client, who accumulates savings with the monthly income to buy it after a few years.

The extraordinary extension of up to two years for rental contracts is not automatic and requires meeting specific requirements: be valid as of October 8, 2026, be up to date with payment and request it before expiration. During the extension, the income will be updated according to the IRAV, with an extraordinary limit of 2% or the agreement of the parties until December 31, 2027.

A tenant consults his situation after five years of contract before Royal Decree-Law 29/2026, which allows an extraordinary extension of two years if it is validated, as long as he is up to date with payments and the landlord does not recover the home due to proven family need.

Economist Konstantin Kholodilin, an academic leader in the study of rent control, warns that these measures, although popular, generate side effects such as a reduction in supply and the deterioration of housing quality.

The economist Marc Vidal addresses the housing crisis in Spain in the Herrera program on COPE, criticizing the government decree and pointing out structural problems such as the lack of final land, the shortage of labor and the low supply.
