Current situation real estate market Marbella
In little more than a decade we have had the impact of a financial crisis and the Covid pandemic, but the Costa del Sol real estate market always comes out on top. This is also true when we look further back in the past, and when one analyzes the reason for this remarkable ability to bounce back from what are mostly global situations, the clear conclusion is that it is the quality of life of this region that gives it real and lasting desirability. In other words, the Costa del Sol and Marbella in particular have something to offer that is not diminishing in value, but seems to be growing with each year – and crisis.
The Costa del Sol real estate market had been in solid recovery-growth mode for several years, driven by strong demand for newly built modern villas and apartments, when the Covid crisis hit in the spring of 2020. What followed was not caused by a financial or macroeconomic crisis, nor was there a lack of demand, but rather a forced shutdown of the economy and travel routes directly affecting the market. Not only were sectors such as tourism, hospitality and retail strongly affected by these closures, but while online inquiries for properties on the Costa del Sol soared, hardly anyone was able to travel for viewings or completion at the notary.
The result was a significant drop in sales, but while most of us expected a strong recovery in 2021, the actual strength of demand, especially in the middle and upper segments of the Costa del Sol real estate market, set new records. This indicates the aforementioned unabated demand for this region, but was also the product of:
- The release of unmet demand from 2020
- The Covide confinement – making many want to take the plunge and opt for lifestyle-driven choices such as buying a property in Marbella
- The rapid growth of remote working
Previously observed trends were thus accelerated in the past two years, and they have led not only to strong renewed growth in tourism and real estate on the Costa del Sol, but also to a series of new trends, such as:
- A growing number of buyers are families aged 30 to 50, often with school-age children.
Not only does this affect schools and general services as the year-round population grows, but it also gradually changes the type of real estate that is now most in demand:
- A relative shift from apartments to villas – and from vacation homes to permanent or semi-permanent homes, with the accompanying emphasis on quality, technology and comfort.
- A desire for work, relaxation, training and garden spaces
- A clear preference for modern and new homes, but since these are now scarce, a greater acceptance of off-plan buying and delivery times
- Renovated and modernized homes in good locations are also popular
- Limited inventory in Marbella attracts buyers to new areas in Benahavis, Estepona, Marbella East and Mijas Costa.
- Most popular are apartments €500k for and €1 million to €15 million for villas.

Checklist: The ideal new construction investment in southern Spain
What has stood out tremendously in recent years is the number of IIS clients who see a second stay in southern Spain as an investment (or at least partly so) and for them the return comes first. That is a very different starting point than if you are looking for something to enjoy yourself. In the first case, the question then arises, “What are the parameters I need to consider when renting and/or re-selling? In response to this question in the market, we decided to make available a free E-book.
