The Real Estate Market in 2026
As 2026 draws to a close, development and availability in the Costa del Sol real estate market not only remain stable as an international benchmark for luxury residential properties, but opportunities for development in the same segment are also emerging in the areas surrounding Marbella.
Areas such as the Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca, Nueva Andalucía, Los Monteros, and Puerto Banús have maintained high demand over the past five years, particularly from Central Europe (England, Scandinavia, and the Nordic countries), due to their prime locations and high-value properties. However, the areas that stand out the most right now are the boutique developments emerging in Benahavís, Mijas, and especially Estepona, due to their significant real estate potential stemming from the abundant availability of buildable land.
This boosts property values and promotes urban development, which is highly attractive to those interested in buying or selling there. In this regard, we must not overlook East Marbella, where an urban development boom is gradually taking shape, thanks to Elviria’s exclusive access to the Costa del Sol’s best beaches and the mountainous locations of El Rosario and Santa Clara.
