If Malaga is the most expensive city and province in the region, it is followed by Cadiz: in Cadiz city, the price per square metre is 2,855 euros, while in the province it is close to 1,900 euros. And in third place is Seville, costing 2,500 euros per square metre in the city, and an average of 1,677 euros in the province.

719 euros per square metre
is the average price of housing in Jaén, the cheapest province in Andalucía.
The cheapest province in the Andalucía region is Jaén, the data shows. In the city of Jaén, the square metre price was 1,132 euros at the end of April. In the province, this fell to 719 euros. This means that in Malaga city, the price of housing is almost five times higher than the average in the province of Jaen. And if we compare the two cities, buying a property in Malaga city is three times more expensive than in Jaén. However, the price of housing in Jaén is quite stable: it has remained practically flat in April and compared to the levels of a year ago, the rise is barely 1.5% in the province and just under 3% in the city.
Jaén and Malaga, therefore, are the two extremes of the Andalusian property market: the former is the only one where average prices are below 1,000 euros per square metre and the latter is also the exception with prices above 3,000.
