January 2026 Prices by Municipality
Tías
January 2026: €3,775/m²
(January 2025: €3,622/m²)
Tías remains the most expensive municipality on the island. Although slightly below the 2025 annual average, prices are higher than in January last year. The area, including Puerto del Carmen, continues to benefit from strong tourism demand and high occupancy levels in the holiday rental market.
Yaiza
January 2026: €3,638/m²
(January 2025: €3,566/m²)
Yaiza continues to rank among the island’s premium markets. The steady year-on-year increase reflects sustained demand for villas and high-quality residential properties in Playa Blanca and surrounding areas.
Teguise
January 2026: €2,962/m²
(January 2025: €2,593/m²)
Teguise shows one of the strongest increases compared to January 2025. The rise suggests growing interest in Costa Teguise and surrounding locations, particularly among buyers seeking a balance between price and location.
Haría
January 2026: €2,922/m²
(January 2025: €2,006/m²)
Haría has experienced a significant increase compared to the same month last year. The northern part of the island continues to attract buyers looking for tranquillity, larger plots and more individual properties.
San Bartolomé
January 2026: €2,949/m²
(January 2025: €2,129/m²)
San Bartolomé has also recorded strong growth. Its central location and previously moderate price levels appear to have made it increasingly attractive to buyers.
Arrecife
January 2026: €2,178/m²
(January 2025: €1,927/m²)
As the island’s capital, Arrecife continues to offer comparatively accessible price levels, although values have clearly increased compared to January 2025.
Overall Market Trend
The January 2026 figures confirm a consistent upward trend across nearly all municipalities.
Key observations:
- Island-wide prices are significantly higher than in January 2025.
- Growth is not limited to prime tourist areas but is visible across central and northern municipalities as well.
- The market has started 2026 above the 2025 annual average, indicating continued strength.
These developments suggest that the positive momentum observed throughout 2025 has carried into the new year.
What Is Driving the Market?
Several factors continue to support price stability and growth:
Limited Supply
Strict planning regulations restrict large-scale development, limiting the availability of new properties.
Strong Tourism Demand
Rising visitor numbers sustain demand for holiday homes and investment properties.
International Buyer Interest
European buyers continue to view Lanzarote as a secure and attractive destination.
Long-Term Investment Stability
Property on the island remains a tangible asset in a market characterised by controlled growth.
Important Disclaimer on Individual Property Prices
The figures presented above represent average asking prices per square metre within each municipality. The actual price of an individual property may vary significantly.
Final values depend on multiple factors, including:
- Exact micro-location
- Proximity to the coastline
- Sea or panoramic views
- Plot size
- Quality of construction
- Interior finishes
- Features such as a private pool, terraces or landscaped gardens
For example, a frontline villa with sea views and a large private plot will command a considerably higher price than an inland apartment within the same municipality. Therefore, average statistics should always be interpreted as a general market indicator rather than a fixed valuation benchmark.
Outlook for 2026
While it is still early in the year, the January data suggests that the Lanzarote property market remains dynamic and resilient. Demand continues to exceed supply in many areas, which supports price levels.
Although growth rates may vary between municipalities, the overall trend remains positive.
