The new housing sector is experiencing a period of instability. The number of building permits granted in June 2026 declined, according to data published by the government's Data and Statistical Studies Service. This drop comes after a significant rebound the previous month, confirming the sector's difficulty in regaining sustained momentum.

Both collective and individual impact

Building permits have decreased for both multi-family and single-family homes. The SDES attributes this further decline to this dual decrease, without specifying the precise factors behind the slowdown. The volatility of the monthly figures reflects the ongoing uncertainty among construction industry stakeholders regarding current real estate market conditions.

This fluctuation in growth and decline reflects the fragility of the new construction sector. Industry professionals are struggling to anticipate a stable recovery, with June's data confirming that the May rebound was merely a temporary blip in an overall deteriorating economic climate.
