Seville's housing market offers a mix of historic properties in the old town and modern developments in expanding neighborhoods. The market has seen steady price increases over recent years, driven by tourism growth and international interest. Rental demand is high, particularly in central areas, creating a competitive market for desirable properties. The city features traditional Andalusian architecture with courtyards and terraces, alongside contemporary apartments in newer districts. International buyers and renters are increasingly common, though the market remains predominantly local.
