Property sales in Sóller
With 137 completed sales in 2025, Sóller reached the same annual count as in 2019. The result followed 120 sales in 2024 and 110 in 2023, extending the recovery from that recent low. Its 14.2% annual increase stood apart from the island-wide decline of 0.5%, a gap of 14.6 percentage points. Completed deals were more numerous than in either of the preceding years.
Sóller registered 176 sales in 2016 and peaked at 207 in 2017. Activity later reached 117 in 2020, rose to 153 in 2021 and 164 in 2022, then fell to 110 in 2023. The 2025 total of 137 marks a rebound from that trough while remaining below the stronger years earlier in the series. That combination matters to buyers and sellers: transactions have picked up recently, yet the latest annual count is still well below the historical peak.

Explanation
The purchase price stated in the deed. If it is below the cadastral reference value, ATIB taxes the higher value.

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.

- 0.630%
- IBI per year, ballpark figure
- €1,134.00
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 €94.50 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)).
