Marbella Property Market Facts

Fact: Marbella Property Market Buoyed by Foreign Investors

Whilst the residential property market across the Costa del Sol is still very difficult for domestic investors, it presents incredible opportunities for the international buyer. A report by Aguirre Newman states that 2013 was an “excellent” year for the property market. Data from the Bank of Spain showed that foreign purchases in 2013 exceeded

€6bn – the first time since 2004! 

In addition, the Guardian reports “...online searches for properties in Spain increased by 29% over the first three months of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013. More than a fifth of all Spanish residential sales – 55,187 transactions – were to foreign buyers.”

Marbella is without doubt the lead region in terms of economic recovery within Spain. Property sales in 2013 totalled 3,115 – a number reminiscent of 2007 highs. This increase of 23.6% is still unparalleled in any other area of Spain.

In general, 2 bedroom apartments are still in highest demand with an average of 127 sqm at a price of 196,956€. Aside from the year-round pleasant micro-climate, it is the Costa del Sol’s infrastructure that maintains it’s appeal for international buyers. With over 70 golf courses, the spring and autumn months can be just as busy as summer. Again, 2013 provided the best visitor numbers overall in the past 5 years.

Early tourism statistics from 2014 are equally as promising with an 8.2% increase in visitor numbers across Spain reported for the first 6 months. The total of arrivals landing into Málaga airport alone between January and June 2014 numbered an impressive 2.3 million.

Blu Sun Consulting visits New Build Properties, Costa del Sol

 Blu Sun Consulting has always made a very special effort to be amongst the first to know of any new developments across the Costa del Sol. Not only do new developments offer a completely fresh, unlived-in property for the buyer but the facilities are often of a higher standard than those built in previous years and – if the investor is able to act quickly – there are often opportunities to grab a better rate shortly before or soon after the developer has launched the project.

For example, many of our clients secured successful investments last year having purchased in CortijoDiana before it was so widely known.

Within just a matter of months they were able to see comparable properties being purchased within the resort at an increased price of 30,000 €! Quite an achievement in today’s tough market!

Today, we see a number of developers waking up with more opportunities coming to market. Here is our top pick of the newly built properties now available. And with foreign buyers making up at least half of the property market purchases across the whole of Spain, Scandinavians are in a strong position to make some great investments before prices begin to rise again.

Horizon Beach, Estepona

This is one of the more expensive off-plan developments to hit the market but with such a reputable developer and a prime position, the properties are selling fast. Within the first 6 months of sales, they have already increased the rates of the 2 & 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses 3 times!

Surprisingly, very few properties across the Costa del Sol are truly beach front and this is one of the only developments offering new builds within seconds of the golden sands.

Benalmadena South, Benalmadena

This is a truly luxurious complex in one of the most convenient locations that the Costa del Sol has to offer. Not only is it within very easy reach of the beach but it also enjoys great transport connections with a train link direct from the airport. The property styling is sumptuous and the builds are spacious with great views. We don’t expect the lower prices to be available for long – especially with just a 6000€ reservation deposit requirement.

Mijas Gardens, La Cala de Mijas

The developer claims that years of research have gone into perfecting these 3 and 4 bedroom apartment designs and we can believe it. They have been strategically planned to suit the requirements of Scandinavian buyers (with a Scandinavian development team) with great attention to detail, energy efficiency, high tech fittings and extremely large terraces. Facilities are second-to-none with a wine bodega, heated indoor pool, spa & fitness centre, Turkish bath, sauna and shuttle bus service.

It is reported that the Swedish purchased 600 properties across the Costa del Sol last year and the Norwegians 450. These numbers are clearly expected to grow during 2014. We urge our clients to get the very best deals by viewing the new build properties available to the Marbella market, right now!
