How Long Does It Take to Sell a Property in Andorra?
- Updated on

The short answer
The time to sell in Andorra varies widely depending on the asking price, the parish, the type of property, the season and the quality of the file. The most controllable factor is the initial price; next come preparing the documents and advertising the property.
What speeds up the sale
- A price consistent with recent transactions: see valuing your property.
- A complete file from the first viewing: see documents.
- Good photos and a precise listing.
- A clear mandate, an active agency.
- A buyer who is already financed or authorised.
What slows it down
- A price that is too high at the start.
- A co-ownership with poorly documented charges or works.
- A non-resident buyer awaiting authorisation: see buying as a non-resident.
- An estate or joint ownership to settle.
Why we do not publish an "average time"
No official source publishes an average time to sell by parish and by type of property. A single figure would therefore be an invention. It is better to break the sale down into phases, some of which you control.
The phases, and what depends on you
| Phase | What depends on you | What does not |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation (file, photos, price) | Almost everything | The agency's calendar |
| Marketing | The price, the quality of the listing, availability for viewings | The season, the market |
| From offer to preliminary contract | Responsiveness, clarity of the file | The buyer's conditions |
| Conditions precedent | Co-ownership documents, release of the mortgage | Financing, authorisation of a non-resident buyer |
| Preliminary contract to deed | Capital gains deposit within 30 daysverified on 09/10/2026 | The notary's diary |
The non-resident buyer: a separate timeline
A non-resident buyer is subject to a purchase limit (one single-family dwelling or two apartments (or studios) with their outbuildings, and a maximum of six parking spacesverified on 09/10/2026) and to a foreign investment authorisation procedure. Check from the first viewing that their project is compatible: see buying as a non-resident and the purchase limit checker.
A plan rather than waiting
- Set a price consistent with actual sales: the official average price of an apartment is 4,569.70 €/m²verified on 09/10/2026 (second quarter 2026).
- Decide in advance when you will review the price.
- Prepare the complete file before publishing: see documents to prepare.
- Plan the date of the deed according to your own project (reinvestment, departure): see permanent residence exemption.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a best season to sell?
Demand varies with the type of property (ski resort or town). Ask the agency for its reading of the local market.
Should you lower the price if the property does not sell?
After several viewings without an offer, it is often a sign of a price above the market.
Does a sale to a non-resident take longer?
It can, because of the prior authorisation: include it as a condition precedent.
