Realty Pulse Research

European real-estate data desk

The Realty Pulse research team produces data-driven market analyses covering Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and the UK. Our work focuses on verifiable numbers from official statistics — not opinion, speculation or marketing.

Areas of coverage

  • Spanish real-estate market (aggregated asking-price statistics + INE + MIVAU)
  • Yield and affordability analysis across European cities
  • Foreign buyer demand and cross-border investment
  • Quarterly market reports
  • Long-form investment guides

How we work

The Realty Pulse research desk aggregates data from official government registries (INE, MIVAU, HM Land Registry, DVF, Eurostat) and structured listing sources, applies consistent methodology described on our methodology page, and publishes both automated market reports and long-form analytical guides.

Articles are data-driven: every statistic cited comes from a traceable source, and outlier values are flagged. We do not republish without verification. Corrections are welcome at [email protected].
