The State Housing Plan 2026-2030 keeps an aid to help young people buy a home outside the cities. It is open to people aged 35 or under with own income up to 5 times the IPREM, 42,000 euros a year, to buy or self-build a home in a municipality or settlement of 10,000 people or fewer, which can be extended to 20,000 if the region agrees it with the Ministry. The aid is up to 15,000 euros per home, capped at 20% of the price, and if two people buy it is split according to each one's share. The price must not exceed the Annex IV maximum for your region, between 200,000 and 325,000 euros, and the home must be your main residence for 5 years. Purchases signed from 1 January 2026 count, but the money only flows once your region opens its call.

How the aid is worked out

Article 143 of Royal Decree 326/2026 gives the lower of two amounts: €15,000 per home or 20% of the price. A €90,000 house in a Castile and León village receives €15,000. To reach €15,000 the price must be €75,000 or more. If two people buy, each receives according to their share: for a €150,000 house in Aragon owned 50/50, your part is €7,500. No more than two people can buy the home.

The requirements

Under article 141, you must be 35 or under when you apply, or when you signed the contract if you signed after 1 January 2026. Your income must not exceed 5 times the IPREM (5.5 with a 33% disability and 6 with 65%). You must not own another home in Spain, apart from an inherited share or a house you cannot use because of separation, divorce or disability. The home must be in a municipality or settlement of 10,000 people or fewer at the time of the call.

Your region's price cap

Annex IV sets a different ceiling in each territory:

RegionPrice cap
Andalusia€225,000
Aragon€275,000
Asturias€250,000
Balearic Islands€275,000
Canary Islands€250,000
Cantabria€250,000
Castile and León€250,000
Castile-La Mancha€250,000
Catalonia€300,000
Ceuta€250,000
Valencian Community€250,000
Extremadura€200,000
Galicia€250,000
Madrid region€325,000
Melilla€250,000
Murcia€250,000
Navarre€300,000
Basque Country€300,000
La Rioja€250,000

The Basque Country and Navarre appear in the annex, but article 1.5 leaves them out of the Plan, so the aid is not offered there. For self-build, the same cap applies to the building cost, land excluded. Bear in mind that the cap is a hard limit: a house priced one euro above it gets nothing, so negotiate the price before you sign if you are close to the line.

Deadlines after the award

You have 6 months from notification to provide the deed or private contract. If the home is under construction, works must start within twelve months of the award and the contract must show the aid as a payment on account. The region may pay the seller directly. Until your region publishes its call, follow the status in the calendar; and if you rent in the meantime, see the rent tax deduction.

Common questions

Can I claim the purchase aid if I already signed the deed in 2026?

Yes, if you signed from 1 January 2026 and met the requirements on that date: article 141.1 accepts contracts signed before the call. In that case the deed does not need to show the aid as part of the payment. You will submit it to your region once it publishes its Plan call.

What is the price cap for a home in Madrid or in Extremadura?

Annex IV of Royal Decree 326/2026 sets a cap per region: 325,000 euros in the Madrid region, the highest, and 200,000 euros in Extremadura, the lowest. Above that price there is no aid, even if you meet the age, income and town size rules.

What if I sell the house within five years?

The home must be your main residence for 5 years from purchase, and you must move in within 3 months of handover. The period can be shorter if you move for work or sell and reinvest everything in another main home suited to your family. Otherwise the region may ask for the aid back.

Does the aid cover building my own house in a village?

Yes, self-build is covered by article 141.2. You must own or hold a life interest in the plot, be 35 or under, and the building cost, excluding land, must not exceed the Annex IV maximum. The aid is paid once you prove the works have started, and they must finish within two years.
