It has been predicted that Spanish housing prices will rise by 4% before the end of 2015 in a sign of property market recovery, although real estate agency Crystal Shore Properties noted that "2015 is said to be a stabilising year before the beginning of the 'real' property market recovery"; they have estimated that 2016 could see a further increase of 2% in some areas. House price growth varies vastly throughout Spain, with eastern cities such as Alicante and Barcelona reporting the largest increases and southern areas such as Malaga and Almeria experiencing price decreases.
