Property in Alcúdia
Alcúdia closed 2025 with 257 property sales, a 4.1% decline from 268 in 2024. Mallorca’s sales fell 0.46% over the same period, leaving Alcúdia’s change 3.65 percentage points below the island-wide pace. Transactions continued, yet the municipality remained far from its 2018 high of 591 sales. For buyers and sellers, the latest total places completed deals within a quieter phase than that earlier high-volume period.
In 2024, Alcúdia’s median existing-contract flat rent was €8.11 per square metre per month. That was 13.5% above the €7.14 middle level of the island’s municipalities and placed Alcúdia 12th among 43 municipalities on the flat measure. Median existing-contract house rent was €6.58 per square metre per month. Alcúdia comprises 5 localities—Alcúdia, Bonaire (Mal Pas), Marina Manresa, Platja d’Alcúdia and Port d’Alcúdia—within this municipality-wide picture of sales and rents.
Property sales in Alcúdia
Completed sales in Alcúdia moved from 352 in 2016 to 375 in 2017, then jumped to the series high of 591 in 2018. The following year brought 345 sales, followed by 216 in 2020, the low point of the sequence. The latest total of 257 sales in 2025 is much closer to those post-peak years than to the exceptional 2018 volume. Annual transaction activity has shifted substantially over the period, with both a sharp contraction and a subsequent recovery.
After the 2020 low, sales recovered to 315 in 2021 and 332 in 2022. They then eased to 286 in 2023, 268 in 2024 and 257 in 2025, making the latest fall part of a continuing run of lower annual totals. Alcúdia’s 4.1% decrease in 2025 was steeper than Mallorca’s 0.46% decline over the same year. Buyers and sellers therefore encounter measurable turnover, alongside less completed-sales activity than at the recovery’s high.

Mallorca IBI calculator
Explanation
The municipality sets the rate. IBI is a municipal tax: the same cadastral value costs considerably more in one town than in the next, because each one fixes its own rate in its tax bylaw (ordenanza fiscal).
Explanation
The valor catastral is the official value the Spanish land registry office (Catastro) sets for your property — land and building together. It is not the purchase price, not the market value and not the valor de referencia, and it normally sits well below all of them. You will find it on your last IBI bill and in the cadastral portal.

Calculated from the cadastral value. The bill is calculated on the reduced taxable base (base liquidable); where a revaluation is running, it comes out lower. Reductions and exemptions are not included.
Applies to this one cadastral unit and a full tax year. Not included: apportionment in the year of purchase, co-ownership shares, reductions and exemptions. A garage and a storeroom often have a cadastral reference of their own — then you calculate them separately.
That works out at €73.05 a month
The statutory range for this class of property runs from 0.400% to 1.100%; municipalities may go above or below it in certain cases (Art. 72(3) and (5)).
