Markina-Xemein: local guide and property context
A sourced introduction to Markina-Xemein, its official settlement geography and the evidence used on this property-area page.
Local overview
Markina-Xemein is a town and municipality located in the province of Bizkaia, in the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. The origin of the town's name lies in its geographic location between Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. Coming from the Spanish word marca meaning "mark", Markina-Xemein is where Gipuzkoanos often battled Bizkainos.
The local economy is mostly based on the primary and secondary sectors, with particular relevance for agriculture and cattle herding, timber research and metal industry. The metal industry has in fact played an important role in the past, through the development of important weapons in the defense industry. Extraction of black marble, known as Nero Marquina (Marmol negro), also plays an important role in the local economy.
Markina-Xemein keeps a tight connection with Basque pelota sport; in fact its two walled court or frontón is known as "University of the Pelota", since it is the place where great Basket or Jai Alai pelotaris learnt to play.
Markina-Xemein's patronal feast day, honouring Our Lady of Mount Carmel, takes place in the middle of July. The municipality also hosts many fairs and markets throughout the year.

How this guide keeps the evidence local
The market analysis for Markina-Xemein is joined through the same INE code rather than a loose place-name match. This prevents similarly named places in other provinces from being blended together. Where a municipality-level series is unavailable, the page labels the province fallback explicitly; current NLS asking inventory remains separate from completed-sale, demographic and cadastral evidence.

Activity and demand over time
Consistent official series underpin nationwide coverage: quarterly housing transactions from MITMA and annual population from INE. Any wider fallback is labelled directly on the chart.
Physical stock comes from Catastro. Energy-certificate and tourism-register counts are official administrative records and should be read as registered coverage, not as estimates of every home.
A Catastro building extract is not available in the current imported coverage for this scope. No wider total is substituted or presented as local stock.
Wider market comparison
Bizkaia province and País Vasco measures provide context; they are not substitutes for a municipality or neighbourhood value.

Sources, periods and how to read this analysis
Completed-sale snapshot. Consejo General del Notariado / Penotariado aggregate for the stated scope. Price measures use 26 price-informed sales from 30 total recorded transactions. It is a current snapshot fetched 2026-08-03 21:39:29, not a historical point.
Transaction activity. MITMA quarterly housing transmissions, shown as published counts with no scaling or extrapolation.
Registered-price context. Colegio de Registradores quarterly statistics for the labelled comparison scope. Aggregate values are never relabelled as municipality or neighbourhood values.
Population and income. INE series for Markina-Xemein municipality through 2023. Aggregate percentages and averages are population-weighted where appropriate.
Physical stock. Dirección General del Catastro building records. Counts describe recorded stock, not homes currently for sale.
Administrative registers. Official energy-certificate and, where available, tourism-register entries are matched to official geography; coverage is not a model of unregistered stock.
Geographic scope. Official municipality pages use their INE code. Legacy area-taxonomy pages inherit only a municipality or province scope that resolves unambiguously; no market value is derived from a listing location.
Current listings. The NLS active public inventory, shown separately as asking inventory and never blended into completed-sale statistics.
Images. Wikimedia Commons files are selected through Wikidata municipality records. Each photograph retains its creator, reuse licence and source link.
This is aggregate market context, not a property valuation, cadastral assessment, legal opinion or forecast. Non-institutional deed samples and commercial portal asking-price benchmarks are excluded from the analysis.
