    On the back of unprecedented demand from Spanish and foreign buyers, property on the Costa del Sol continues to experience price hikes. No type of real estate is immune to the rise in values, and all sectors have seen sharp upticks over the last two years. Luxury property in Marbella is no exception and the latest figures show that this niche market is also subject to rising prices and strong demand. 

    For example, in some areas of the resort, high-end homes have gone up by 20% in the last year. In others, luxury villas spend less than four months on the market before being snapped up by a buyer. These are the conclusions reached in the latest research from Brainsre, a specialist in big data for real estate.

    Background to the Costa del Sol property market

    Brainsre bases its findings on listings published on online portals, and according to the latest, prices for Costa del Sol properties now stand at their highest ever. The average price per square metre currently sits at €3,023. New builds cost 13% more and have an average price of €3,403. 

    Costa del Sol real estate consists mainly of apartments and flats, which make up almost 64% of the market between them. Their average cost is just over €331,000.

    Villas account for the remaining 36% of the market share and have an average asking price of more than €550,000. The research reveals that it takes around 5.1 months to sell a villa on the Costa del Sol.
