Property Sales Costa Del Sol – A Strong Start to 2021

The property sales costa del sol has had a very strong start to 2021, with resales and new-build property in particular performing well. As the article below explains, demand is high and prices are up. It is a far cry from the situation in 2020 when the Costa del Sol was recovering from a seven-week lockdown and demand for properties fell away dramatically.

During the first quarter, resales rose by a healthy 5.7% in February compared with last year while new-build properties saw a more modest increase of 3.1%. These figures are still significantly higher than Spain’s national average of 1.5% and 2% respectively.

In terms of price increases, resale property values rose by 11.2% over the past year to reach an average of EUR2,345 per square metre. New homes follow a different price curve and at the end of September, they stood at EUR2,810.

Tinsa (prices based on valuations) calculates that Costa del Sol prices are 23.5% below their peak in 2007 and 47.2% above their lowest level. This means that buyers have the opportunity to snap up a home at an excellent price in many locations from Marbella to Benalmadena.
