1. Why there is no Seville median on this page
A median is the middle value of an ordered list. With 441 listings, that middle value says something about the whole. With 2 listings, it says nothing about Sevilla.
If one of those 2 listings changes price, sells, or is withdrawn, any figure calculated from the 2 would change completely. Publishing it as "the price of Sevilla" would mislead the reader. That is why this report publishes no median for Sevilla, neither for the city nor for any district.
Prices on the site are asking prices: what the seller puts in the listing. A sale price, signed before a notary, can differ.
This site does not verify whether listings are genuine, whether photos are accurate, who the seller is, or whether a price or availability is still current. A listing can expire, sell, or change after publication.
2. How to read a Seville listing, one by one
Do not compare the 2 listings as if they were two halves of a market. Read them as 2 specific homes and check each one separately:
This report does not copy another portal's median as if it were the site's median.
- Asking price and size of that specific listing, without extrapolating to its district or to the city.
- District and home type of that specific listing. A flat in the centre and a house on the outskirts do not compare directly.
- Photos, description, and condition. A visit is worth more than a listing.
- Who is selling, and what documents they can show. Ask for the nota simple before signing anything (see section 4).
- Date of the listing. An old listing may not reflect the current price.
4. Direction over time
Not enough history yet to show a direction.
This report does not say whether prices are rising, falling, or flat: it has no site series that would allow that. Claiming a trend from one date and 2 listings would be a guess.
5. Buying a home in Seville: NIE, nota simple, and the deed
These points are general checks, not your own lawyer's advice. No tax amount, fee, or timeline is given here, because each depends on the case and on the rules in force.
No figure here is a promise of return or appreciation. It does not predict future prices.
- **The NIE.** It is the personal number for foreigners who need to identify themselves in Spain for economic, professional, or social reasons. It is requested in Spain from the Police, through Foreigners' Offices or police stations, or abroad through Consular Offices, using form EX-15 and form 790, code 012.
- **Your own lawyer.** Hire an independent lawyer, not the seller's lawyer. Their job is to check the home for you, not to sell it.
- **The nota simple.** It is an informative extract from the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad): who is registered as owner and what charges are registered, for example mortgages or embargoes. It is purely informative and on its own does not prove the Registry's content against third parties. Ask for a recent one, because it reflects the position at issue.
- **The arras contract.** The arras contract is a private contract before the notarial deed. Its amount and its consequences depend on what the specific agreement says. Do not assume a fixed percentage or an automatic refund. Read the text: penitential arras, which allow withdrawal with loss or double repayment, only have that effect when clearly agreed. If the agreement does not say so clearly, do not presume it.
- **The deed before a notary, and the Registry.** The sale is formalised in a public deed before a notary, and the new ownership is then registered in the Land Registry. The notary checks title and Registry position before signing, but that does not replace your own lawyer.
