I live and work on the Costa del Sol, and I spend my weeks touring new developments and premium homes from Fuengirola to Marbella.
Here’s the fast, honest 2026 outlook — with fresh Idealista data included.
Spain goes into 2026 with a stable, high-demand market, mainly driven by foreign buyers (UK, Scandinavia, Benelux, Germany, USA).
New developments with sea views, amenities, and energy efficiency continue to sell fastest.
Prices won’t explode, but they won’t drop either — supply is too limited in the good areas.
Data from Idealista (Oct 2025) shows how powerful this region remains:
+1.0% monthly
+6.1% quarterly
+17.1% yearly
This is the highest price ever recorded in Málaga province — a new all-time high.
Marbella: 5.430 €/m² (+9.1%)
Benahavís: 5.432 €/m² (+16.2%)
Benalmádena: 4.023 €/m² (+17.1%)
Fuengirola: 4.506 €/m² (+21.3%)
Estepona: 4.091 €/m² (+13.3%)
Mijas: 3.562 €/m² (+15.4%)
As someone who lives here and tours properties weekly, I can confirm:
the demand behind these numbers is real — especially for quality new builds.
The Costa del Sol has become a “safe lifestyle investment,” not just a holiday home location.
From what I see on the ground weekly:
These areas match both lifestyle and long-term growth.
Spain’s real estate market is entering 2026 stronger than last year, especially on the Costa del Sol.
With prices at all-time highs and demand still growing, the key is simple:
Buy quality, buy location, and look for real views and amenities.
That’s where your value and future resale sit.

Expect 12–14% extra for taxes, notary, registry, and lawyer fees. New builds use 10% VAT + AJD; resales use ITP.
Yes. Many of my clients buy remotely. With a power of attorney, your lawyer can handle checks, contracts, and completion for you.
Yes, as long as the developer provides bank guarantees for all payments. This protects 100% of your money until delivery.
If it’s in the right area (Fuengirola, Mijas, Benalmádena, Marbella, Estepona) and has modern amenities, high demand is almost guaranteed — but you need a tourist licence for short-term rentals.
