The Costa Blanca continues to be one of the most attractive real estate markets in Spain for both investors and lifestyle buyers. With strong international demand, rising construction costs, and limited coastal supply, property prices remain on an upward trend as we move into 2025–2026.
In this guide, we break down the current property prices, the key reasons behind their growth, and what buyers can realistically expect today.
Current Property Prices on the Costa Blanca
Property prices on the Costa Blanca vary significantly depending on location, proximity to the sea, property type, and quality of construction.
Average price ranges in 2025:
- Inland towns and villages: €2,000 – €2,600 per m²
- Coastal apartments (mid-range): €2,800 – €3,800 per m²
- Sea-view apartments and prime coastal zones: €3,800 – €5,000+ per m²
- Luxury villas with pool and sea views: €4,500 – €7,000+ per m²
These figures are indicative and can vary widely between areas such as Benidorm, Altea, Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, and the surrounding inland locations.
Why Are Property Prices Rising?
Several key factors continue to push prices upward across the Costa Blanca:
Strong Foreign Buyer Demand
Northern Europeans, British buyers, and increasingly Eastern European and Scandinavian investors make up a large share of purchases. Many are looking for second homes, retirement properties, or rental investments.
Limited Coastal Supply
Coastal land is naturally limited, and strict building regulations mean that new developments cannot always keep up with demand.
Rising Construction Costs
Materials, labour, energy costs, and regulatory requirements have all increased significantly since 2020, pushing new-build prices higher.
High Rental Demand
Holiday rentals and mid-term winter lets remain extremely popular, making the Costa Blanca highly attractive to investors seeking rental income.
Lifestyle and Infrastructure
Excellent healthcare, international schools, transport connections, and year-round sunshine continue to attract buyers who are relocating permanently to Spain.
What Can You Buy at Today’s Prices?
To give you a realistic idea of the market:
- €140,000 – €200,000: Small inland apartment or apartment in a non-prime coastal area
- €220,000 – €350,000: 2–3 bedroom apartment close to the sea
- €400,000 – €650,000: Modern townhouse or villa with pool
- €700,000 – €1M+: Luxury villa with panoramic sea views
Well-priced properties in good locations tend to sell quickly, often within even a few days.
