  "account": "Buying a home is becoming increasingly difficult for those living on the coast, according to a new report by Tinsa, Spain's leading real estate valuation company. While dreaming of waking up to the ocean remains a common residential aspiration, the dream is proving harder to achieve, even for those who have always lived along the coast. The economic effort required to acquire a property in a coastal municipality in Spain consumes about 40% of a household's discretionary income, six percentage points higher than the national average (34%). However, in popular vacation destinations like the Balearic Islands, the figure rises to 59%, the report indicates.\n\nThe surge in tourism, which has spurred the expansion of the short-term rental market, and the growing demand for second homes in milder climates, have put pressure on coastal residential markets. Consequently, property prices have been on a steady rise. Coastal areas, the majority of the Mediterranean coast, and certain sections of the Atlantic and Cantabrian coasts are among the regions where prices have skyrocketed the most in 2026.",
